Welcome to the northernmost nature house on the Dutch mainland! Built in 1932 but completely renovated inside while maintaining its authentic atmosphere. The living room is bright and has wide views of the Lauwerpolder. The open kitchen and large dining table invite to long and cozy dining. There is a small library and many (outdoor) toys for children of all ages. The downstairs bedroom has large patio doors to the terrace, where you look out over an expansive lawn with chestnuts and fruit trees. The spacious bathroom offers a bathtub, a separate rain shower and a toilet. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms with old wooden cockerel beams and beds with lovely mattresses. Here, too, is a toilet. The nature house served as a worker's cottage well into the last century. The lady of the house took care of the sheep, her husband worked for the farmer. Feel at home in their house and enjoy the peace, the Wad and nature!
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located in a large, green oasis (two acres) in the middle of Groningen's typical polder landscape. Once a meadow with sheep, 100 years later it has become a wooded mini-wilderness, where you wake up to a cacophony of birdsong and sheep bleating on the dike. If you look carefully, you can still find the old dobbe (sheep drinking place). You can often spot a jump of deer and you might even spot the Groningen Big Five: deer, fox, hare, buzzard and pheasant! Several paths lead you to a pond, beautiful old pollard willows and other unexpected discoveries. A true mecca for birdwatchers and nowhere in the Netherlands can you see more stars than in this beautiful place!
