there's a new place outside town

Friday 11th of March.

This afternoon we went to the opening party at De Zuileshoeve, a new place outside town created by our old friends Hans & Lia Hilkmann.

Hidden among the greenery of De Biesbosch National Park, the Zuileshoeve is located on the water side.
A quiet place near an old orchard. A barn that has been restored and transformed into a bed & breakfast with four rooms with a view. It's is all about peace, nature and hospitality. It's a perfect stopover during a walk or bike ride through the area, to enjoy a drink or lunch on the terrace or in the restaurant.

And soon you can also book a room.
