    Fantastic environment, really recommended. The tipi tent was also neat. What made it complete is the tremendous service of our hostess Calijn, sweet girl, friendly and even checked and closed our tent during a rainstorm. Thanks Calijn!

    Our first experience in a tent! We have been coming to Ameland for over 20 years and have seen the inside of many hotels, but we can say this is really great! How relaxing it is. We really enjoyed it. Everything you really need is there. The tent was keuring clean. And a lovely bed! Carlijn is a great hostess! We certainly hope to do this again.

    Onze eerste ervaring in een tent! We komen samen toch al wel ruim 20 jaar op Ameland en hebben al heel wat hotels van binnen gezien, maar we kunnen wel zeggen dit is echt geweldig! Wat is dat onthaasten. We hebben echt genoten. Alles wat je echt nodig hebt is aanwezig. De tent was keuring schoon. En een heerlijk bed!! Carlijn is een geweldige lieve gastvrouw! Dit hopen we zeker nog eens te doen.
