Nature cabin · wood-fired sauna · 2–4 guests

Time to thinkabout nothingat all.

A characterful country cottage against a green line of trees, with the polder close by. You wake to birdsong, take your coffee outside, and in the evening you warm up in your own wood-fired sauna. Beyond that, nothing is expected of you.

Welcome

Poldergeluk is a characterful country cottage with its own garden, against a green line of trees. Beyond them, sheep graze, birds sing in the branches and in the evening your own wood-fired sauna is waiting.

You don’t come here to do things. You come so that, for once, nothing is expected of you. To linger over breakfast, sit outside and only realise in the evening that you haven’t missed your phone all day.

The experience

A day at Poldergeluk

  1. 01Morning

    The polder wakes up

    The sun climbs above the trees, the birds beat you to it and beyond the tree line the sheep are already out in the dewy grass. Coffee in hand, the day still wonderfully empty.

  2. 02Afternoon

    Outside, inside, unhurried

    A book on your lap, a bike ride through the polder, a nap that runs longer than planned. Slowly, your head goes quiet.

  3. 03Evening

    The sauna warms up

    The wood crackles, a curl of smoke rises from the chimney and the sky turns orange. Time to warm up.

  4. 04Night

    Light in the windows

    Outside it grows dark, and stars come out above the trees. Inside, a soft light glows. Tomorrow, it all starts again, slowly.

The sauna

Warm up.Cool down.Do nothing.

The wood-fired sauna is all yours, and you fire it up yourself. Feel the warmth, listen to the logs softly crackle and let the day quietly slip away.

  1. 01

    Fire it up

    Light the fire and watch the warmth slowly build.

  2. 02

    Warm up

    Eyes closed, let the wood-fired heat do its work. Then step outside for cool air on your skin.

  3. 03

    Afterglow

    A blanket, a glass of water and that lazy, contented feeling.

Surroundings

Just a little furtherthere’s more to love.

Poldergeluk is a place where nothing is expected of you. But if you feel like heading out, dunes and sea, old harbour towns and, in spring, blooming bulb fields are all close at hand. The beach at Callantsoog is about 25 to 30 minutes away by car.

Your hosts

A warm welcome from Pauline & Rob

We are Pauline and Rob. We live nearby ourselves and know this area well: from the quiet lanes through the polder to the loveliest spots on the coast and in the old villages.

We furnished Poldergeluk with a great deal of care and enjoyment, as a place to properly breathe out. Whether you head into the polder, spend a day by the sea or simply stay put in the garden, we hope you feel as much at home here as we do.
