At the house there are bikes and special carts for rent.

Surroundings and activities

At the wide sandy beach of Hook of Holland you can enjoy the fresh air and wind and fly kites. At the river the Nieuwe Waterweg you can sea large seaships passing by very close. Around the house there are walking routes of from about 5 km and cycling routes of over 150 km. These trails bring you past the dunes, the Westland, Delfland and the Vlietlanden. At a short distance is the forest Staelduinsebos (accessible for cyclists and walkers) with a large colony of bats. Also the South Holland islands with the nature reserve Voornsche Duinen and fortified town Briele are in cycling distance.
