“Very hospitable hosts, restaurants nearby, lovely breakfast.”
Johan and Madelaine were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice including freshly cooked eggs, bacon, sausage etc. The garden is large with plenty of outdoor seating options. The property is not modern in the slightest but that is part of the attraction. There are 3 or 4 very nice restaurants less than 5 minutes walk away. Secure parking on site and free wi-fi.

Die Waenhuis is a beautiful old building, immaculately restored and respectfully modernised. From the moment I walked into the well kept, lush garden I knew my stay would be comfortable, and it was exactly that. Wonderful staff, warm, accommodating hosts - I would love to visit again.
