This Nature House on the Maas is located on a dead-end path on the outskirts of Balgoij, close to the river, with a view of the dike and grazing sheep. The cottage has a private garden with a lounge set, dining table, hot tub, and flower bed. It features three French doors that let in plenty of light and offer great views, providing optimal connection to the garden and nature. There is a kitchen-living room with a sofa and a dining table with four chairs, a bedroom with a double bed, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. It’s a wonderfully light cottage with a very pleasant, peaceful atmosphere thanks to the soft, natural colors and materials used. On the owners’ property, there’s an organic vegetable garden, free-range chickens, and a beautiful flower garden. The cottage is also ideal for an Artist-in-Residence stay because of its tranquility and natural light. It’s a wonderful place to write or paint, to relax, enjoy nature, and completely unwind.
Nature and surroundings
From the cottage, you can walk or bike along the dike or through the floodplains to nearby historic villages and towns such as Grave, Ravenstein, Batenburg, Hernen, and Wijchen, or a bit further to cities like Veghel, Nijmegen, Den Bosch, or Arnhem for museum visits, a day of shopping, art and culture, outdoor cafes, or fine dining. You can also visit nature reserves such as the Haterse Vennen, Keent Nature Reserve, Herperduin, the floodplains of the Meuse and the Waal, recreational areas like the Berendonck, De Groene Heuvels, and De Gouden Ham, or go for a walk and have lunch at Tongelaar Castle on the beautiful Tongelaar Estate. Balgoij is a small village with over 700 residents. On the outskirts of the village stands a late-medieval tower. The supermarket is 2.5 km away, and a little further on is the center of Wijchen or Grave, where you’ll find other shops, cafés, and restaurants. There is a public transportation connection to the train station in Wijchen, from which you can easily travel to Nijmegen, Arnhem, or Den Bosch.

A lovely little house with lots of windows overlooking flowers and a cornfield.
Heerlijk huisje met veel ramen die uitkijken op bloemen en een maisveld.
A beautiful little house, built and furnished with care and good taste. The shower is small and low, but it’s still comfortable to shower in. The kitchen has everything you need and more. We could go cycling and hiking in all directions. We saw many beautiful places and landscapes that we hadn’t seen before. Even after 5 days, we still hadn’t finished exploring, biking, and sightseeing.
A cottage we’d love to come back to!Prachtig huisje, met zorg en smaak gemaakt en ingericht. Douche is klein/ laag, maar er valt toch goed te douchen. In de keuken is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt en meer. We konden alle kanten op fietsen en wandelen. Vele mooie plekken en landschappen gezien, die we nog niet kenden. Na 5 dagen nog niet uitgelopen, gefietst en gekeken.
Een huisje om nog eens terug te komen!This text is automatically translated. -

Just amazing
Gewoon geweldig
A solid 10 for the peace, space, and nature. Every now and then, you hear a horse neighing, chickens scratching around and clucking, and the rustling of the cornfields.
A wonderful outdoor area, perfect for relaxing. Comfortable lounge chairs and other furniture. We were given apples and cucumbers, straight from the tree and out of the greenhouse.
The cottage itself was, in a word, amazing. Fully equipped with all the amenities, a wonderful bed. Decorated with great taste. A nice Nespresso machine and even a milk frother.
French doors that let me watch the setting sun while sitting at the table.
I would have loved to stay a little longer, but it was already booked again. I’d love to come back here someday.
I didn’t explore the surrounding area much, so I can’t say much about it. But from what I saw, it looks like a beautiful area for hiking and biking.Een dikke 10 voor de rust, ruimte en de natuur. Af en toe hoor je een paard hinniken, de kipjes scharrelen en tokken, de ruisende maisvelden.
Een heerlijke buitenruimte, waar het goed toeven is. Heerlijke ligstoelen en ander meubilair .Appels en komkommers gekregen, zo van de boom en uit de kas.
Het huisje zelf was ook in 1 woord geweldig . Van alle gemakken voorzien, een heerlijk bed. Super smaakvol ingericht. Fijn Nespresso apparaat en zelfs een melkopschuimer
Openslaande deuren waardoor ik zittend aan de tafel naar de ondergaande zon kon kijken.
Ik had zo wat langer willen blijven, maar het was al weer geboekt. Ik kom hier graag nog eens terug.
De omgeving heb ik verder niet verkend dus daar kan ik weinig van zeggen. Maar wat ik gezien heb, lijkt het me een prachtige wandel -en fiets omgevingThis text is automatically translated. -

All amenities are provided, and the hot tub and air conditioning are wonderful additions for hot and cold days
Alle voorzieningen aanwezig, en de hottub en airco zijn heerlijke toevoegingen voor de hete en koude dagen
A lovely little cottage in a wonderfully peaceful spot. Enjoy walking along the dikes or biking to the villages or Nijmegen—it’s all possible here.
Heerlijk huisje op een heerlijke rustige plek. Lekker wandelen over de dijken, of fietsen naar de dorpjes of Nijmegen, het is er allemaal mogelijk.
