Holiday in the idyllic village of Dunum near the North Sea spa town of Esens-Bensersiel

Our property “Haus Sassenhof”/“Haus Hohe Lucht,” featuring five comfortable and cosy holiday apartments and an equally cosy holiday home, is located in the wonderfully idyllic farming village of Dunum, right near the North Sea resort of Esens-Bensersiel on the East Frisian North Sea coast. Here you’ll find the perfect setting for a wonderful and relaxing holiday in East Frisia.

Our five holiday apartments range in size from approximately 65 to 85 square metres and offer plenty of space for up to four or six people. Four of the five holiday apartments are located in “Haus Sassenhof.”

In the “Hohe Lucht” holiday home, which is approximately 185 square metres in size, you can enjoy your holiday with eight people plus two additional toddlers.

Our property, featuring the “Sassenhof” and “Hohe Lucht” houses, is situated away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the North Sea resorts on the North Sea coast. Here, you can take wonderful walks through the countryside and enjoy the nature and fresh air of East Frisia. And yet, you can get there in no time by car or ride a bike to the coast. The fresh air you’ll breathe is the wholesome, salty North Sea air!

Our property offers plenty of space for the whole family. So there are plenty of opportunities for the kids to play, for adults to relax and sunbathe, or for the whole family to have a barbecue.

Dunum is a small village located off the main roads. Nevertheless, you can reach the coast by car in about ten minutes. The areas and farms in Dunum are spread out over a large area. We offer you an unforgettable holiday with games of “Boßeln,” barbecue evenings at the village sports field, folk theatre, carriage rides, and group biking and hiking tours.

Dunum is centrally located with excellent transport connections to all tourist destinations in East Frisia. It’s not far to the coast and thus to the tourist and spa facilities, such as the North Sea health resorts of Esens-Bensersiel or Neuharlingersiel. However, you do not have to pay a guest tax here. We only offer the “Nordsee-ServiceCard” (spa card) if it’s worth it for you.

Around Dunum, you’ll find the authentic East Frisian hedgerow landscape, extensive wetlands with beautiful and fascinating flora and fauna, and a large forest teeming with wildlife. You’ll be amazed at how often, while cycling along the side roads and bike paths, you can spot numerous wild animals in the meadows and fields at dusk.

According to an old legend, the tomb of the Frisian king Radbod lies beneath Dunum’s “Radbodsberg.” He was the only chieftain to unite all the Frisian tribes and secure a historic victory against the Northmen. Our old 13th-century brick church is also a special attraction.

The East Frisia Hiking Trail runs right through Dunum and offers you the healthiest way to reach the North Sea by bike—whether you’re heading to the coastal and North Sea spas or the dike. We’ve also prepared a biking and hiking map for you here in Dunum. Our location is ideal for walks, bike rides, and all kinds of explorations of East Frisia’s unique and diverse natural landscape. Enjoy an active yet relaxing holiday on the North Sea and make the most of the North Sea’s invigorating climate.

On the way to the beach in nearby Bensersiel, you’ll pass through the historic town of Esens north of Dunum. There, children can enjoy the “Klabautermann” indoor playground, while adults have a wide range of dining, shopping, and leisure options to choose from.

The North Sea spa town of Bensersiel has plenty to offer for sports, recreation, and fun—for example, the harbour leading to the island of Langeoog
