We had a warm welcome. We enjoyed staying in a converted showman's caravan which is located in a quiet field. We particularly enjoyed the excellent shower and the privacy in a quiet spot. It's compact but not cramped.

“An unusual and memorable experience living in a van!”
This compact van-based home, perfect for a family of up to three, is located on its own fenced plot in the countryside, near the Belgium-Netherlands border. The van is beautifully restored and fully equipped for a comfortable stay. At 185 cm tall, I had no issues with space. There’s a nice place for a barbecue and outdoor dining. Reliable Wi-Fi connection.

“Overall a wonderful experience, would stay again!”
Absolutely beautiful little converted bus, surrounded by sheep! Such a lovely, cosy experience - but the bed was still bigger than you’d expect! The hosts were friendly and helpful, with a welcome tour and lots of useful information.

Loved this converted bus on the border! Lovely hosts, clean, functional and fun setup inside the converted bus. Loved the sheep nearby, ease of access and clear communication from the hosts.

“Very clean, comfortable stay with family.”
It has been a wonderful experience staying here. Very clean and had everything to make it comfortable stay. My kids especially enjoyed the trampoline , watching hens and rabbits and sheeps, looking how all green veggies and fruits were grown in the backyard. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves to stay within nature.

“Quirky and great value lorry conversion in a quiet rural location”
Unusual converted lorry with double and single bed and very nicely finished interior making good use of the space. Nice to have Aircon too. Very peaceful location and friendly owners. Perfectly suited us for an unusual and good value one night on our way down from Hook of Holland to Ypres the next day

Lovely rural retreat, a really comfy place on the Dutch Belgian border surrounded by birdsong and nature. Cosy and warm in February, all wood lined with well equipped kitchen and good hot shower. Garage for our bikes. Friendly and helpful host..
