A Warm Welcome
We extend a warm welcome to you at our farmhouse.
We have been welcoming guests since 2004.
We have furnished the front part of the farmhouse to accommodate four people.
In the former carriage house, we have created a comfortable “garden house” for two people.
In 2019, we thoroughly renovated the former stable, which now houses a (very) luxurious apartment.
All three accommodations have their own entrance and a private terrace or garden with an unobstructed view.
Our farm is located in rural Oldendiever, the oldest part of Diever. In ten minutes (on foot), you can reach the town center with shops, restaurants, and other amenities that the beautiful village of Diever has to offer.
Staying with us provides an ideal starting point for hikes and bike rides in the nearby Drents-Friese Wold. The Drenthepad, a long-distance hiking trail stretching over 200 kilometers, runs right past the house.
We named “Hoeve aan de Zuurlanderes” after the Zuurlanderes (an old Drenthe landscape feature) located next to our pasture.
