    A very lovely little park with a variety of house types in the nature reserve. We stayed in a beautiful, modern villa—it had everything we needed. Located right on the water—simply fantastic.

    We booked the vacation park mainly because we wanted to moor our boat right next to the house. Unfortunately, that turned out to be our biggest problem.

    Although we had already provided the dimensions of our boat (7.55 m x 2.55 m) when we made the reservation, it turned out once we arrived that the marina wasn’t suitable for it. The slipway is blocked by an underwater beam, which we weren’t told about. As a result, while we can launch the boat there, we can’t get it back out and now have to use another marina, which incurs additional costs. The berths are also significantly too narrow, and the marina map at the front desk does not match reality in terms of either dimensions or numbering.

    The way the situation was handled was particularly disappointing. Instead of looking for a solution, we were simply told that, if in doubt, we would have to find another marina. That’s hardly possible during the peak season and wasn’t an option for us—after all, we booked the park specifically because of the marina. In the end, we had to find a solution ourselves and moor our boat across three berths. Previously, we had been moored outside the marina in open water, where even the cleats and dock planks came loose during a storm. Our boat was damaged as a result of the entire situation. Unfortunately, we received no help from the park.

    The house also had a few issues: a full ashtray upon arrival, some beds with the sheets on the wrong side, a loose faucet (which was only repaired after we insisted), a shower stall that didn’t close completely, a bathroom fan that ran constantly, heavily soiled windows with cobwebs, and a rooftop terrace without furniture. The kitchen and bathroom supply kit, which came at an extra cost, was also very sparse. You could tell by looking at the toilet brush that it had been there since the park opened.

    It’s a shame, because the facility itself has potential. However, anyone arriving with their own boat should definitely obtain written confirmation that the marina is suitable. For us, the lack of support in addressing this issue was unfortunately a reason not to recommend the park.

    Wir haben den Ferienpark hauptsächlich gebucht, weil wir unser Boot direkt am Haus liegen haben wollten. Leider war genau das unser größtes Problem.

    Obwohl wir die Maße unseres Bootes (7,55 m x 2,55 m) bereits bei der Buchung angegeben hatten, stellte sich vor Ort heraus, dass der Hafen dafür nicht geeignet ist. Die Slipanlage ist durch einen unter Wasser liegenden Balken begrenzt, worauf wir nicht hingewiesen wurden. Dadurch können wir das Boot dort zwar einsetzen, aber nicht mehr herausnehmen und müssen dafür nun einen anderen Hafen mit zusätzlichen Kosten nutzen. Auch die Liegeplätze sind deutlich zu schmal, der Hafenplan an der Rezeption stimmt weder bei den Maßen noch bei der Nummerierung mit der Realität überein.

    Besonders enttäuschend war der Umgang mit der Situation. Anstatt nach einer Lösung zu suchen, wurde uns lediglich gesagt, wir müssten uns im Zweifel einen anderen Hafen suchen. Das ist in der Ferienzeit kaum möglich und war für uns keine Option – schließlich haben wir den Park genau wegen des Bootshafens gebucht. Letztendlich mussten wir selbst eine Lösung finden und unser Boot quer über drei Liegeplätze festmachen. Zuvor lagen wir außerhalb des Hafens am offenen Gewässer, wo sich bei Sturm sogar Klampen und Stegbretter lockerten. Durch die gesamte Situation wurde unser Boot beschädigt. Hilfe vom Park gab es leider nicht.

    Auch das Haus hatte einige Mängel: ein voller Aschenbecher bei Ankunft, teils falsch bezogene Betten, ein loser Wasserhahn (der erst nach Nachdruck repariert wurde), eine nicht vollständig schließende Duschkabine, ein dauerhaft laufender Badlüfter, stark verschmutzte Fenster mit Spinnweben sowie eine Dachterrasse ohne Möbel. Das kostenpflichtige Küchen- und Badezimmerpaket war zudem sehr knapp bemessen. Der Klobürste sah man an dass , sie sich seit Eröffnung des Parks dort befand.

    Schade, denn die Anlage selbst hat Potenzial. Wer jedoch mit einem eigenen Boot anreist, sollte sich die Eignung des Hafens unbedingt schriftlich bestätigen lassen. Für uns war die fehlende Unterstützung bei diesem Problem leider ein Grund, den Park nicht weiterzuempfehlen.

    A great place for peace and relaxation! We stayed in House No. 152, which had a fence around the patio, so our dog (a Podenco) could roam freely. Smaller dogs might get away. The house is very tastefully furnished. It has everything you need, including air conditioning, fly screens, four TVs, and a great location right on the water (though without direct access or a ladder). The only downside is the 140x180 folding bed without nightstands. We felt very comfortable here and had a lovely, relaxing time 😎🐶👍

    Tolle Anlage für Ruhe und Erholung! Wir hatten Haus Nummer 152 mit Zaun auf der Terrasse, dadurch konnte sich unser Hund (Podenco) frei bewegen. Kleine Hunde würden entkommen. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alles was man braucht inkl. Klima, Fliegengitter, vier Fernseher und es hat eine tolle Lage direkt am Wasser (aber ohne Zugang/Leiter). Einziges Manko ist das Klappbett 140x180 ohne Nachtschränke. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten eine schöne entspannte Zeit 😎🐶👍
