About this property

De Roodborst, in the middle of nature, with rowing boat, and near Amsterdam

Welcome to our paradise. In the center of the Netherlands with Amsterdam, Utrecht, Gouda, Delft and Oudewater nearby, we offer you peace and space. How nice is it to sit on the water, enjoy the sun in the sun or enjoy the panoramic view over the meadows?
Or would you rather go for a canoe or your own rowboat in the beautiful nature reserve? This is possible with us!

We have our own natural swimming pool and sunbathing area. And do not forget your own free parking space for your car. Since there is a terrace on 3 sides of the house, you always have a wonderful place to sit. Just what you want, in the sun or in the shade.


Our nature house "De Roodborst" is fully equipped, Wifi, Smart TV with Digitenne, dishwasher, oven, microwave, washing machine, dryer etc. You do not lack the luxury. Everything is new, in 2019 we renovated inside and outside "De Roodborst". In the spring or autumn colder days? No problem. "De Roodborst" is super insulated and has central heating in all rooms.
The closed garden has space to store your (electric) bikes and possibly recharge them.

In the hallway is also the wardrobe. On the left side you will find the bedroom with 2 beds, which can be used as a double or a twin room. Of course, there are first class mattresses on the beds. The bedroom has a wall unit and a toilet / make-up table. Opposite the entrance you will find the bathroom with a spacious 90/120 shower, a hygienic hanging toilet, bathroom furniture, a Miele washing machine and a Miele tumble dryer.
From the hallway to the right you enter the living room with open kitchen. At the window on the right is the dining table.
From the sofa you have a nice wide view over the landscape.
Through the French doors you enter the terrace. On the terrace there is a garden table for 4 people for al fresco dining and sun loungers to enjoy the outdoors and of course a charcoal grill.
The rowing boat is waiting for you at the jetty. The rowing boat is specially for you and included in the rental price.

If you want, you can rent our sheets and towels. The beds are already made for you when you arrive. For this we charge an additional fee of 20,00 € per person.

Breukelen has its own train station where you can park for free. The reins take you to the center of Amsterdam in less than half an hour.

The area around Breukelen is beautiful and has a rich history. The river Vecht plays an important role. Already in the golden age, around the year 1600, the wealthy businessmen discovered the beauty of the river. The traders, who made a lot of money trading with Asia, built beautiful estates with teahouses on the Vecht. Many of these estates have been preserved. By bike along the banks of the Vecht you have a nice view of these historic buildings. If you want a combination of cycling and sailing, we can recommend the "bike boat". Search here for the website: https: // www. defietsboot. nl /

Around Breukelen there are many bike paths that lead you along the rivers, through the polders or in beautiful nature reserves. You should not miss the cycle route around the lakes of Loosdrecht or through the nature reserve from Tienhoven to Hilversum. Find cycling routes in Breukelen:

Do you like playing golf? Also, a few miles away, in the rustic town of Loenen aan de Vecht is a beautiful golf course with 81 holes. For more information; https: // oldcourseloenen. nl /

Finally we would like to recommend the visit of the castle De Haar in Haarzuilen. This castle was rebuilt in 1892 on the ruins of the old castle and the castle and the castle garden are regularly open to visitors; https: // www. kasteeldehaar. nl /

Truly relaxing break

The property is beautifully located on the edge of a small water way, with direct access Trek Gatern which is a nature reserve and very beautiful, full of bird life and water lilies in bloom. We took our Canadian canoe and this is a perfect area to explore-we even saw a beaver! There is a rowing boat available for use on site.The garden is thoughtfully laid for maximum privacy and relaxation.We received a very warm welcome from the hosts and had everything we needed in the property for our stay. Would recommend wholeheartedly, especially to those with a canoe or kayak. Many thanks.

We had a very enjoyable week staying De Roodborst! The location was relaxing and quiet as we enjoyed the views. Very nice to have access to a boat, so plenty of time rowing around the nearby lake and islands. The cabin had a nicely equipped kitchen as we like to cook our own meals. What fun to sit on the patio or canal deck sipping coffee, eating a snack, or just enjoying the beauty of the surroundings and many types of birds. If you enjoy quiet relaxation, this cabin is perfect, especially the late day sunsets sitting next to the canal. During your stay, make sure to give some treats to Specky the pig, who will enthusiastically grunt appreciation! Host Gijs and Ying Yi were very friendly and responded quickly before and during arrival to any questions. Highly recommend you consider a week stay at De Roodborst!

Das kompakte Ferienhaus liegt perfekt am Kanal und eröffnet weite Blicke in die Landschaft. Vogelbeobachtung ist perfekt und der regelmäßige Besuch von Enten, Schwänen und auch Rindern macht Spaß. Die Ausstattung ist zweckmäßig. Die Dusche gefällt durch eine besondere Größe. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich, unmittelbar ansprechbar und Hilfestellung erfolgt umgehend.In Summe also alles gut!

Ein sehr liebevoll ausgestattete Ferienwohnung in der man sich sofort Zuhause fühlt. Die Natur einzigartig, inklusive der Tiere. Wo wird man schon von Enten geweckt und kann beim Duschen den Kühen zuschauen? Das erste Mal dass die Fotos zu 100% der Realität entsprachen! Lecker gesellig...

Perfekte Mischung von Stadt- und Landurlaub

Es war ein wirklich toller Urlaub im Ferienhaus von Gijs und Ying Yi. Die Lage in der Natur am Wasser ist einzigartig. Man kann mit dem Boot die Grachten und Kanäle der Umgebung erkunden oder sich einfach im Wasser erfrischen. Und wenn man die umliegenden Städte (Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam) sehen möchte, sind es nur wenige Minuten mit dem Rad oder Auto zum Bahnhof. Auch im Ferienhaus hat man alles was man braucht, vor allem auch seine Ruhe. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Entspannter Urlaub in ruhiger Lage

Das Haus war sehr schön, alles da, was man braucht, mit Ruderboot, direkt am Graben. Da kam sogar ein Jugendlicher und hat das Wasser vom Regen aus dem Boot gepumpt, plus SUPs und ein Kajak und eine Badestelle. Zur Begrüßung gab es eine Flasche Wein und einen schönen Blumenstrauß. Gijs, unser Vermieter, was sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Er hat uns eine App gezeigt, so konnten wir schöne Radtouren durch die Gegend vornehmen. 2,5 Kilometer nach Breukelen zum Einkaufen, Utrecht mit dem Rad ebenso gut zu erreichen. Und drumherum einige Schlösser zum anschauen. Specki, das Hausschwein, war sehr empfänglich für Brotreste und Obst. Sehr lustig. Wir haben uns die Woche sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke.

Ruhe und Erholung

Wir haben die Tage in dem kleinen, sehr gut ausgestatteten Ferienhaus de Roodborst genossen. Die absolut ruhige Lage mitten in der Natur, die Möglichkeit die Vögel zu beobachten , aber auch mit dem Rad die Gegend zu erkunden oder mit dem Auto oder dem Zug schnell in die interessanten Städte der Umgebung fahren zu können, macht diese Fewo so attraktiv. Gijs und seine Frau haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen und waren jederzeit bereit uns bei Fragen weiterzuhelfen und Tips zu geben. Wir wären so gerne mit dem Kanu gefahren , aber das Wetter war leider nicht gut. Danke für die Zeit im Rootborst.
