On the Veluwe, you can go for an active walk or bike ride, but also if you are looking for peace and quiet you are in the right place. Deer, wild boar, and red deer still live in the Veluwe. There are special wildlife observation sites where you have an even greater chance of encountering one of these 'Big Five' of the Veluwe. Also fun: go on an excursion with a real forester. Rent a bike at vacation park de IJsvogel and go touring through the Veluwezoom National Park, where you will encounter beautiful different landscapes. Don't forget to look up from time to time, the park is full of many beautiful birds.

Het Loo Palace

In 1684, Stadholder William III and Princess Mary bought a small castle in the middle of the Veluwe called the Oude Loo. After they had it transformed into a royal palace, and through changes made years later by Louis Napoleon, it is now a beautiful large palace that you can come and admire. As you listen to the audio narration, you'll cycle through the old residents Willem, Mary, and Wilhelmina. Learn about the Dutch royal house and its history. Take a walk through the beautiful imposing gardens, visit the stables, and admire this 17th-century architectural masterpiece. A real highlight is the Roof, from where you have a magnificent view of the gardens. It also hosts unique events such as performances and exhibitions.


Recreation park Zeumeren

At recreational lake Zeumeren, 6 km from the Kingfisher, many activities are organized for young and old. Combine a beach day with, for example, supping or water skiing. If you are not a water rat, you can have fun playing mini-golf or short golf. The kids can climb, search for gold and dig for treasures at the adventure park SchatEiland. While enjoying a drink, watch a beautiful sunset at Beachclub Zeumeren.

Visit the craft and toy museum

Step inside the Crafts Museum after a 10-minute drive and go back in time. The museum has as many as 160 crafts in the form of stores and fully equipped workshops. Every week an old craft comes to life for you to admire. One floor up you enter the world of toys. The toy museum has a large collection of antique toys to admire. There are moving trains, old-fashioned dolls, and a whole collection of stuffed bears. Do you remember Dinky Toys? Of course, that's not missing from the collection. And it doesn't have to stop at just looking. In the playroom, there are several old Dutch games to play.

    We came here as the animation team for this Pentecost weekend. We were welcomed with open arms and the staff is mega friendly. We ran into a few little things, but we were immediately helped mega well and an extremely fine solution came for everything. The park is super nice with wonderful facilities and there is something for every age. The accommodations are super clean and in perfect order. Especially the manager was very friendly and helpful. We are very grateful to have been hired to provide the entertainment. We are going to have a wonderful Pentecost weekend and this park is recommended for everyone!!! (And of course the animation team is mega fun) 😊🧡

    Wij zijn hier gekomen als het animatie team voor dit pinksterweekend. We waren met open armen ontvangen en het personeel is mega vriendelijk. We liepen tegen een paar dingetjes aan, maar we zijn direct mega goed geholpen en voor alles is een extreem fijne oplossing gekomen. Het park is super mooi met prachtige faciliteiten en voor iedere leeftijd is er wel iets. De accommodaties zijn super netjes en perfect in orde. Vooral de manager was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We zijn erg dankbaar dat wij zijn ingehuurd om de animatie te verzorgen. We gaan een prachtig Pinksterweekend tegemoet en dit park is voor iedereen aan te raden!! (En natuurlijk is het animatie team mega leuk) 😊🧡

    We stayed 2 nights in a cottage with private jacuzzi and found the value for money very disappointing. For €580 you honestly expect much more service and comfort. The cottage was not cleaned between our nights. In itself this is not necessarily a bad thing, but the entrance is directly in the bedroom and there was no doormat inside. As a result, you were constantly walking forest floor inside, leaving sand and dirt next to the bed, by the sink and even in the shower. There was also no broom available to clean this yourself. Cleaning could be arranged, but only for an additional fee. In addition, the cottages are very close together. 3 meters away from all sides is the neighbor's cottage. The "private" experience therefore feels less exclusive than advertised. We also found the pillows to be really of very poor quality. There was barely any stuffing in them and the stuffing that was in them consisted of a few loose lumps. It felt like lying without a pillow, so we slept poorly. On top of that, several appliances in the bathroom, such as a mirror, had a bright light that stayed on at night and could not be turned off. In addition, there was a small window next to the bathroom that had a lot of light coming through with no way to cover it. Especially at this time of year, when it gets dark late and light early again, this makes you sleep very restlessly. From early in the morning, it feels as if the sunlight is directly on your face, which automatically wakes you up and prevents you from sleeping well. We also found it unfortunate that you had to pay extra for clean towels and at the end you had to pick up your own bed and take out garbage. Fine with a cheaper stay, but not at this price. You also only got 1 large towel and 1 small towel and a bathrobe per person, but these were thin and of poor quality. The food at the Gasterij we found expensive, not particularly tasty and the waiting time was very long. In addition, you can only check in from 15:00 and you have to check out before 10:00, giving you relatively little time for the amount you pay. Plus points were fortunately there too: - beautiful surroundings; - ample parking; - bike rental was top arranged; - convenient key safe for late arrival; - nice welcome with fresh butter cookies from the baker. The park has quite a few facilities, but some were hard to find (like the bowling alley and arcade, we never found them despite multiple searches). The miniature golf looked nice, but again was for an additional fee. We found the indoor pool a bit old and a bit tacky. All in all, not a terrible stay, but very disappointed with what you get for this price.

    Wij zijn 2 nachten verbleven in een huisje met privé jacuzzi en vonden de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding erg tegenvallen. Voor €580 verwacht je eerlijk gezegd veel meer service en comfort. Het huisje werd tussen onze nachten door niet schoongemaakt. Op zich hoeft dat niet erg te zijn, maar de entree zit direct in de slaapkamer en er lag geen deurmat binnen. Hierdoor liep je constant bosgrond mee naar binnen, waardoor er zand en vuil naast het bed, bij de wastafel en zelfs in de douche lag. Er was ook geen bezem aanwezig om dit zelf even schoon te maken. Schoonmaak kon wel geregeld worden, maar alleen tegen bijbetaling. Daarnaast staan de huisjes erg dicht op elkaar. 3 meter verder vanaf alle kanten staat het huisje van de buren. De “privé”-ervaring voelt daardoor minder exclusief dan geadverteerd. Ook vonden wij de kussens echt van zeer slechte kwaliteit. Er zat amper vulling in en de vulling die erin zat bestond uit een paar losse klonten. Het voelde alsof je zonder kussen lag, waardoor we slecht hebben geslapen. Daar kwam nog bij dat meerdere apparaten in de badkamer, zoals een spiegel, een fel lampje hadden dat ’s nachts bleef branden en niet uit kon. Daarnaast zat er een klein raampje naast de badkamer waar veel licht doorheen kwam zonder mogelijkheid om dit af te dekken. Zeker in deze periode van het jaar, waarin het pas laat donker wordt en vroeg weer licht is, slaap je daardoor erg onrustig. Vanaf vroeg in de ochtend voelt het alsof het zonlicht direct op je gezicht staat, waardoor je vanzelf wakker wordt en niet meer goed kunt doorslapen. Verder vonden wij het jammer dat je voor schone handdoeken extra moest betalen en dat je aan het einde zelf je bed moest afhalen en vuilnis moest wegbrengen. Prima bij een goedkoper verblijf, maar niet bij deze prijs. Je kreeg ook maar 1 grote handdoek en 1 kleine handdoek en een badjas per persoon, maar deze waren dun en van slechte kwaliteit. Het eten bij de Gasterij vonden wij duur, niet bijzonder lekker en de wachttijd was erg lang. Daarnaast mag je pas vanaf 15:00 inchecken en moet je vóór 10:00 alweer uitchecken, waardoor je relatief weinig tijd hebt voor het bedrag dat je betaalt. Pluspunten waren er gelukkig ook: - mooie omgeving; - voldoende parkeergelegenheid; - fietsen huren was top geregeld; - handig sleutelkluisje bij late aankomst; - leuk welkom met verse roomboterkoekjes van de bakker. Het park heeft best veel faciliteiten, maar sommige waren lastig te vinden (zoals de bowlingbaan en arcadehal, deze hebben wij nooit gevonden ondanks meermaals zoeken). De midgetgolf zag er mooi uit, maar was opnieuw tegen bijbetaling. Het binnenzwembad vonden wij wat oud en een beetje smoezelig. Al met al geen verschrikkelijk verblijf, maar wel erg teleurgesteld over wat je krijgt voor deze prijs.

    We have been coming here since 2022, top notch every time. The park feels small and friendly while secretly quite large. The last 4 times we had the detached "notary house" and booked again for next year. That is our favorite, a full house with a large canopy so you can sit sheltered.

    We komen hier sinds 2022, elke keer top. Het park voelt kleinschalig en gemoedelijk aan terwijl het stiekem best groot is. De laatste 4x hadden we de vrijstaande 'notariswoning' en voor volgend jaar ook weer geboekt. Dat is onze favoriet, een volwaardig huis met een grote overkapping zodat je beschut kunt zitten.
