From the house you walk straight into the centuries-old dune landscape. The Zeepeduinen are 500 metres away, with Exmoor ponies and endless paths to wander along. On the Kop van Schouwen you will find vast forests with roe deer, fallow deer and woodpeckers, and in the Westhoek there are beautiful dune lakes.
Feel free to bring your dog and mind the lead rules in the breeding season (see Dog beach under Recommended).
The Kop van Schouwen (4.3 km) has vast natural beaches to relax on or to blow away the cobwebs. Along the coast you see kitesurfers, parasailers and in summer surfers, and at sunset anglers fish for sea bass. You can also fish on the beach at Westenschouwen, around the corner.
The island has hundreds of kilometres of cycle paths. Close to the house you can rent (electric) bikes, tandems and cargo bikes, or have them delivered and collected. Under Recommended you will find the addresses, and on our routes page there are cycling routes to get started right away.
Oosterschelde National Park (5 km) is a tidal estuary full of life. At Deltapark Neeltje Jans (5 km) you discover the power of water and see seals from the shore. In Plan Tureluur you watch black-tailed godwits, spoonbills and avocets from the De Zuidkaap lookout tower.
25 metres from the house lies the castle garden of Slot Haamstede, where with a bit of luck you will see roe deer. In the village you will find shops, terraces and restaurants, and Zierikzee (20 km) is an authentic historic harbour town with shops and cosy terraces.
Schouwen-Duiveland has events all year round: markets, art, sports and village festivals. Every year there is the Kunstschouw, for example. What exactly is on during your stay is best seen in the current calendar below.
The island's calendar is maintained by Op Schouwen-Duiveland and DagjeWeg.nl. Do you have a particular date in mind? Feel free to ask us, and we will gladly think along with you.
Welcome! From 15:00 you may come in (until 22:00), and we appreciate it if you leave before 10:00. A few days beforehand we will email you the route, access via the key safe, the welcome folder and our rules for dogs. The beds are made up for you and there are towels for you.
Fancy a coffee? A Nespresso machine is ready for you. In our small kitchen you can cook perfectly well on the two-burner induction hob, and there is plenty of cookware. The dining table seats four, so pull up a chair.
Our winter stove is an experience: it burns on special water and simply works with a remote control. A bit quirky, but above all very cosy. When you are here, we are happy to show you how it works. Hot days? Then the fans are ready for you.
WiFi is free. And want to watch something on TV? Simply stream it from your own mobile via Chromecast. You will find all practical information about the house in the welcome folder.
We are in favour of organic and do what we can to keep the earth liveable. No woolly socks, but practical: we separate grey waste, packaging and organic waste, and of course paper and glass too. Great that you join in!
Your dog is very welcome (€ 55 per stay, a second dog € 35). Parking is free around the corner, and parking on our own grounds is also possible. You will find the house rules in the terms and conditions.
Is something unclear, or could you use a tip? Feel free to send us a WhatsApp message or call +31 6 22 21 99 96. We are happy to help, and we also like to hear how you enjoyed your stay. Cristian and Marise
We arrived at a cosy and characteristic little house where we were given a very warm welcome. The space is quirkily and atmospherically furnished, not a standard holiday home interior. That gives a homely feeling! The location is great, in the middle of the centre and by bike you can easily go in every direction. A great place for a few days in Burgh Haamstede!
Very tastefully furnished little house with everything you need. The beds were already beautifully made up, and on arrival a lovely welcome drink. Kitchen with all facilities. All in all we enjoyed it, a recommendation, and we even had nice Zeeland weather.
See when the holiday home is available and request your dates right away.
