The area & activities
Nature & the area
From our holiday cottage, you can step straight onto the water to explore the Reeuwijkse Plassen.
The cottage is also located along several walking and cycling routes. Walking is possible in the adjacent nature area De Goudse Hout, which features a lovely natural playground for children and where dogs are also allowed to roam freely.
Cycling through the lake district is beautiful, and you’ll find yourself right in the heart of the Groene Hart, with historic towns such as Oudewater and Haastrecht along the Vlist just a short distance away.
For culture and city trips, the charming historic city centre of Gouda (just a 15-minute bike ride away) is a must-see. The cities of The Hague, Rotterdam, and Utrecht are all within a 30 km radius.
Gouda Goverwelle Station is about a 20-minute walk from the cottage.
Water sports
Explore the beautiful natural surroundings by (sail)boat, canoe, SUP, or surfboard. The Reeuwijkse Plassen are also the perfect place for a refreshing swim. By boat, you can enjoy a scenic trip across the different lakes, where you can operate the bridges yourself along the way.
The Goudse Watersport Vereniging Elfhoeven is just a stone’s throw away, and Windsurfclub Reeuwijk is only 7 km away. During your stay, you are welcome to use our two SUP boards.
Restaurants
Just 4 km from our cosy holiday cottage you’ll find Restaurant Loetje Reeuwijk, well known for its excellent steak.
Right next door is Koeien en Kaas, where you can enjoy delicious local treats six days a week. In winter, this lakeside spot transforms into Kühe und Käse, a pop-up restaurant inspired by authentic mountain flavours and the cosy atmosphere of winter sports.
Nearby dining options include a friendly pizzeria, a charming bistro, and Sushi Eight for fresh sushi.
About 6 km away you’ll find Restaurant ’t Reeuwijkse Hout, located in a beautiful green setting.
