The Layout: Your Home Among the Trees
Upstairs: Sleep among the treetops
Head up a sturdy staircase with a child gate to reach the elevated primary bedroom. Here you’ll find a double bed (200 x 180) and that signature treetop outlook—the kind of view that turns a slow morning into a highlight of the trip.
Downstairs: Kids’ bunk rooms and bathroom
On the ground floor are two separate bedrooms, each with a bunk bed. There’s also a baby cot (bring your own cot bedding). The bathroom sits on this level with a shower, washbasin, and toilet, making bedtime routines and post-adventure cleanups easy.
The heart of the home: Kitchen, dining, and views
The first-floor living space is a bright, view-forward area with a large dining table set by an expansive window for uninterrupted treetop vistas. The kitchen keeps family meals effortless with a 4-burner cooktop, kettle, Nespresso machine, filter coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge, and full kitchen inventory. A cozy sitting area and Smart TV invite board games, movie nights, and quiet downtime after a day outside.
Nature On Your Doorstep: Dunes, Wildlife, and Play
Step outside and settle into the hammock with a book or gather at the picnic table for a leisurely lunch. Kids will gravitate to the adventurous experience path tucked just behind the Boomhuis, and there are playgrounds nearby for endless outdoor fun.
Beyond your deck, you’re surrounded by dunes and forest trails. Wander or cycle through the area to spot local wildlife—think Scottish Highlanders, Exmoor ponies, Konik horses, and sometimes sheep and goats—as you make your way toward the beaches of Heemskerk and Castricum aan Zee. Guests can walk and bike on a well-marked network of routes with both paved and unpaved sections. At reception, you’ll find route maps and bike rentals to help you explore more easily.
As a guest, you’ll receive a dune pass for the surrounding nature reserve prior to arrival. Curious explorers can also visit Visitor Centre De Hoep to learn about the area’s wildlife and the role of dune landscapes in water purification.
