Dutch Bungalow

With the red shingled roof, this bungalow in De Cocksdorp is one pair of siblings, or perhaps a sleeping princess, away from being in a fairy tale – it’s that quaint. Inside, however, it’s slightly more modern than an old cabin in the woods. Hues of blue, grey, cream, and wood blend together to create a space that feels homely with a touch of elegance. When you’re not enjoying a cup of coffee at the sturdy dining table, you can sit outside and soak in the tranquillity this area has to offer.

When you’re ready to find out what else is out there, why not rent a bicycle to get around with? It is after all the preferred mode of transportation and you’ll quickly find yourself taken by the freedom this allows you to simply pop in at a bakery here, and stop for landscape photos there. Golfing enthusiasts can find a course nearby whilst the rest of the family head to the dunes of Eierland. After, meet up at the Strandpaviljoen Paal 28 for a waterfront dining experience.

Cycle back home – only twelve minutes away – to watch the sunset from the outdoor terrace as you sip on a drink made from the national spirit, Jenever.
