Haarlem
Haarlem is a picturesque city close to Amsterdam, but there’s so much more! Our hostel is located at the edge of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, where spotting wildlife such as horses or Scottish cattle isn’t unusual. And within 20 minutes on the bike and you’re already at the Bloemendaal aan Zee beach.
There's also plenty of culture to explore around this historical city. From the Teylers museum and Frans Hals museum to cultural events throughout the year, and you’ll find beautiful buildings around every corner.
When you're ready for a break from exploring, our hostel's cosy bar lets you try local beers and share stories with other guests. Sustainability is important here too: food waste for example is shared with Too Good To Go. There's even a beehive behind the hostel, and when in-season you can enjoy the fresh and delicious honey with breakfast!
Soest
This newly-renovated hostel surrounded by trees invites you to have a cold drink on the terrace, or have fun at the nearby playground!

Utrecht - Bunnik
The unique location of this hostel gives you plenty of opportunities to see the local nature that Utrecht has to offer, as well as being a short cycle trip away from the city centre of historical Utrecht.
The hostel can be found in three different historical buildings. If you’re staying over, be sure to visit all three of them and have a drink at our terrace situated in the former carriage house of the estate. If you want to see more than Utrecht’s city, be sure to visit one of the nearby castles, or head to the Railway Museum to learn more about the history of the Dutch railway system.
Not quite sure what to do? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
Climbing as high as the trees
Stroll over a rope bridge, swing on a rope, and let the zip line take you across! Whatever you're doing, one thing is certain: The climbing forest of Brabantse Wal will make sure you are sky-high as you clamber around.
Stroll around while riding a donkey
We all know the game pin the tail on the donkey, but did you know that you can go trekking on a real donkey at the mini-campsite De Vetweide in Almen, about 10 kilometres’ cycle ride from Gorssel?
Race around in the style of the 60's
A great way of exploring the Kromme Rijn region is by Solex bicycle. Dress up in sixties-style long, leather coat and a cap and off you go, puttering past Dutch Waterline forts, lovely country estates, castles and orchards galore.
