Other things to note
• Our place is a 160-year-old monument, which means that some of the doors are quite low but they still close, and navigating the stairs and certain passages requires some extra care.
• Kindly remember to bring your slippers and bathrobe with you for the sauna and jacuzzi experience.
• For those traveling by car, there are three parking spaces available in front of the White House. It is important to keep the entrance gate clear, as well as the space in front of the farm.. If there are more than three cars in your group, there is a free parking area on the third street to the right after the Portengense Brug on Nijverheidsweg street. However, if you have smaller cars and are traveling with an organized group or family, it may be possible to fit up to five cars in front of the White House.
• While you're staying with us, you may notice that we also occupy the house and some caravans in the meadow of the property, and you may encounter one of us in the garden - but rest assured that we're respectful of your privacy and are a friendly and open-minded bunch.
• Directly across the Summerhouse is the Farmhouse – a separate unit.
