    We had a lovely stay at the Still cabin at Zomerlicht!

    It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay (air conditioning included). We were able to have our own private fire and also used the hot tub.

    There’s also bike hire at the neighbouring campsite that you can rent, which gets you to a local vineyard in under 10 minutes.

    Supermarkets and Main Street is very close & lovely nature walks.

    Was just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam.

    We stayed here for 10 days this month with our two children, ages 4 and 6.

    It’s different from a regular campground: you stay right in the middle of the community, which makes it easy to meet people and have nice conversations. It was wonderful for our children; the atmosphere felt safe and familiar, so they were quickly playing with other kids and spending the whole day outside. Plus, you had plenty of privacy in your cottage. That meant we, as parents, really got to enjoy our vacation too.

    Cottage Sage was beautifully decorated and clean, with all the amenities. Sitting in front of the cottage in the evening, enjoying the peaceful quiet, gave us that wonderful vacation feeling. The cottages are positioned so that you have a great view. The central yurt was a special spot for a few lovely yoga sessions, and the forest right next to the campground was ideal for running and exploring with the kids. The hot tub was the perfect way to end the day.

    We zijn deze maand 10 dagen verbleven met onze 2 kinderen van 4 en 6 jaar oud.

    Het is anders dan een gewone camping: je verblijft tussen de community, waardoor je makkelijk contact maakt en fijne gesprekken hebt. Voor onze kinderen was het geweldig; de sfeer voelde veilig en vertrouwd, waardoor ze al snel met andere kinderen speelden en de hele dag buiten waren. Daarnaast had je super veel privacy in je huisje. Daardoor hadden wij als ouders ook écht vakantie.

    Huisje Sage was prachtig ingericht en schoon, met alle gemakken. ’s Avonds heerlijk stil voor het huisje zitten gaf een fijn vakantiegevoel. Ze zijn zo geplaatst dat je goed uitzicht hebt. De centrale yurt was een bijzondere plek voor een paar mooie yogasessies, en het bos direct naast de camping was ideaal om te hardlopen en met de kinderen te ontdekken. De hot tub was de perfecte afsluiter van de dag.
