About this location

A green and blooming oasis: an organic nursery specializing in unique vegetable varieties. The location is at least as fascinating: Veenhuizen was granted UNESCO cultural heritage status due to its rich history, the Colonies of Benevolence. This season, 3 vintage caravans are situated on 3 private pitches. Two are located by a dahlia field, and one in an orchard. You will use the sanitary facilities in the main building. There, you can also make use of the living area with a Wi-Fi connection. Parking is available at the front of the site. A luggage trolley is available for transporting luggage. Breakfast and dining out are possible at the adjacent restaurant, among other places. Veenhuizen features an interesting museum and various walking and scenic routes.

Perfect for...

Peace seeker, walkers/cyclists, lovers of gardens and cultural discoveries

There are only a few overnight spots at De Tuinen. Most guests come for a peaceful experience. It would be very nice if you were considerate of other guests, if there are any. This means keeping things quiet on time in the evening, not playing loud music, and taking responsibility, together with any guests and the people who sometimes work in the garden (mostly volunteers), to ensure that everyone has a pleasant time here. We also greatly appreciate it if you participate in waste separation.
