Absolutely loved our stay. We stayed in slowlodge which was very close to the hottub and the privacy of the lodge was great. We got offered a later check out since my gf got a bit ill the day before which was very kind so overall i would highly recommend this as your stay :).

We had a wonderful stay in August. From the campground, you can walk right into the woods for a hike. There’s a winery nearby—a great spot for a tasting.
We started one morning with a meditation session with Dennis—it was really nice! The yoga class the next morning didn’t work out for us because we had to leave early, but we’ll save that for next time :-)this is a translation, click here for the original
Wij hebben in augustus een heerlijk verblijf gehad. Vanaf de camping loop je zo het bos in voor een wandeling. Dichtbij zit een wijnboerderij, leuk voor een proeverij.
We zijn een ochtend gestart met de meditatie bij Dennis, heel fijn! De yogales de volgende ochtend paste ons niet omdat we op tijd weg moesten maar die houden we tegoed :-) -

A unique spot run by wonderful people with their hearts in the right place. The new “slow ville” cottages (I’ve already tried three of them) are comfortable and pleasantly minimalist in style. We found that the wood-fired hot tub under the stars really added to our stay. The surrounding nature is within walking distance and absolutely stunning.

Eigenzinnige plek van fijne mensen met het hart op de juiste plek. De nieuwe ‘slow ville’ huisjes (heb er al 3 uitgeprobeerd) zijn comfortabel en prettig minimalistisch ingericht. De hout gestookte hot-tub onder de sterren vonden we veel toevoegen aan ons verblijf. De natuur in de omgeving is op loopafstand en waanzinnig mooi
