Between two national parks

Soof Retreats Heuvelrug is located near two national parks. Drive 25 minutes east and you'll end up at Hoge Veluwe National Park. Rent bikes and see the landscapes in this area change from hilly sandy plains to forests. Take a walk through the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum, take a look inside at the works of Van Gogh and who knows, you might spot a red deer or roe deer in the park. Step out of the accommodation and you are basically already in the nature reserve called National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Relax in the moors, visit sights like the Pyramid of Austerlitz, and enjoy walks and bike rides over the hills of this green piece of nature.

Amersfoort, Utrecht, Netherlands

City Trips

At Soof Retreats Heuvelrug, you will find complete relaxation. But do you still need some extra stimulation? Then drive to one of the nice cities nearby. Amersfoort, Utrecht, Arnhem and Nijmegen are all less than 45 minutes away. Go shopping at Hoog Catharijne in Utrecht or take a nice walk through the old center. Nijmegen also has a beautiful historic center with nice boutiques, squares full of cozy terraces and good restaurants. Adorable Amersfoort is bursting with beautiful buildings and cozy streets. Find a spot by the water and end your day with a drink. Going in the direction of Arnhem? Here, too, you can store and eat well. Plenty of options!

With children in the area

Around the glamping in Utrecht province is plenty to do for young and old! Go in bad weather towards Ballorig in Veenendaal, a 12-minute drive away. At this indoor playground, children will entertain themselves for hours. When the weather is nice, a visit to Ouwehands Zoo is a good idea. A 15-minute drive and you'll be face to face with a giant panda, elephant, or polar bear.

History at Amerongen Castle

A 10-minute drive or 25-minute bike ride away is Amerongen Castle. This special castle from the 17th century can be admired from the outside as well as the inside. Walk the decorated hallways and view the collection of furniture, portraits, musical instruments, and other objects. Before you return to the glamping, take a walk through the garden and take a look at the flower garden, the vegetable garden, and the orchard.

    Located directly on a beautiful wooded area. A delightful accommodation, beautifully decorated according to the latest trends and fully equipped. We were in a water lodge, enjoying the sound of waterfall and fountain in the lounge set on the decking. Were able to rent electric bicycles on site to visit the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Betuwe.

    Direct aan een prachtig bosrijk gebied gelegen. Een heerlijke accommodatie, fraai ingericht volgens de laatste trends en van alle gemakken voorzien. Wij zaten in een waterlodge, waarbij we in de loungeset op de vlonder genoten van het geluid van watervalletje en fontein. Ter plekke elektrische fietsen kunnen huren om de Utrechtse Heuvelrug en de Betuwe te bezoeken.

    Very nice park. Cottages were also well taken care of, except for the room with the bunk beds. It would be nice if there were some hooks or a shelf there to put some stuff on. Otherwise everything was tiptop

    Erg mooi park. Huisjes waren ook goed verzorgd, op de kamer met de stapelbedden na. Het zou fijn zijn als daar wat haakjes of een plank zou zijn om wat spullen op te leggen. Verder was alles tiptop in orde

    Last weekend we were again at Soof retreats in Rhenen. A nice cozy park, with beautiful bungalows, where you immediately feel at home. The covered terraces are a plus, with a little sun, you can quickly enjoy being outside there. Made beds, towel packages and much more, let your weekend, midweek or week, start right away. The location is top, from the park, walk or bike straight into the woods. For us, this park is number 1.

    Afgelopen weekend waren wij weer bij Soof retreats in Rhenen. Een lekker knus park, met mooie bungalows, waar je je meteen thuis voelt. De overdekte terrassen zijn een plus, met een beetje zon, kan je daar al snel lekker genieten van het buiten zijn. Opgemaakte bedden, handdoek pakketten en nog veel meer, laten je weekend, midweek of week, al meteen beginnen. De locatie is top, vanuit het park, loop of fiets je meteen het bos in. Bij ons staat dit park op nummer 1.

    Everything top super clean and well kept cottages. Only minus point was that neither bedroom had a king size bed. For the rest hugely enjoyed the location in the middle of the woods. Lovely hot tub in the garden what more could you want. Ideal place to de-stress!

    Alles top super schoon en goed verzorgde huisjes. Enige min puntje was dat er in geen van beide slaap kamers een kingsize bed aanwezig was. Voor de rest enorm genoten van de locatie midden in de bossen. Heerlijke hottub in de tuin wat wil je nog meer. Ideale plek om lekker te ontstressen!
