    Beautiful peace(ig). Last Saturday on Sunday I stayed with 3 other ladies in a super nicely made and furnished glamping tent. I think even the furniture was made by Henk himself. Well done Henk. That the hot tub was already turned on was very nice and a real luxury. Especially knowing that we had just done 100km on the bike. Very unfortunate that the other guests did not have the peace and decency to let us enjoy the (night) rest. But certainly no reason not to make a good review.

    Mooi rust(ig). Afgelopen zaterdag op zondag verbleef ik met 3 andere dames in een super mooi gemaakt en ingerichte glampingtent. Volgens mij zijn zelfs de meubels door Henk zelf gemaakt. Heb je goed voor elkaar Henk. Dat de hottub al aan was gezet was heel fijn en een echte luxe. Vooral wetende dat we net 100km op de fiets hadden afgelegd. Heel jammer dat de andere gasten niet de rust en fatsoen hadden om ons van de (nacht)rust te laten genieten. Maar zeker geen rede om geen goede recensie te maken.

    What a nice place! The tents are super comfortable and everything has really been thought of. Everything is clean, cared for and furnished with attention. Henk is hospitable and makes sure nothing is lacking, but respects your peace and privacy. We had booked the hot tub. Highly recommended! We enjoyed it immensely.

    What a wonderful place to wake up to! Well equipped tent due to good kitchen and spacious bathroom. A little tip though: with 6 adults it can feel a bit cozy in the tent. It is certainly possible, but keep in mind that the (sleeping) space is a bit more limited. Definitely recommended for luxury camping in nature.

    Wat een prachtige plek om wakker te worden! Goed uitgeruste tent door de goede keuken en ruime badkamer. Wel een kleine tip: met 6 volwassenen kan het wat knus aanvoelen in de tent. Het is zeker mogelijk, maar houd er rekening mee dat de (slaap)ruimte iets beperkter is. Zeker een aanrader voor luxe kamperen in de natuur.
