Cottage Zuid

Your stay

Cottage South is on an island. A motorboat takes you to the accommodation and back to the shore. An introductory boating explanation is available. The island is only accessible by boat, including trips for shopping and mainland outings. You cannot walk or cycle there. Wind, rain and temperature are more noticeable on the island; prepare for the weather. The outdoor area is entirely private and is not shared with other guests. The outdoor area is enclosed for dogs on the land side; a dog can still leave via the water. Dog life jackets may be available. Ask Victor about availability. We regularly welcome dogs and cats here. Cats can feel particularly at home on the island, surrounded by outdoor space and nature.

Cottage South – Unique stay on an island

Located on an island in the middle of the Vinkeveense Plassen (20 km from Amsterdam and Utrecht, 12 km from Schiphol Airport), you will find Cottage South: a charming log cabin surrounded by water and nature.

The cabin is fully equipped with a toilet and shower, a compact kitchenette (two-burner hob and fridge), a fire pit, BBQ, and no less than 150 m² of outdoor space. Inside, you will find a comfortable seating area and a double sofa bed. Outside, the terrace flows into a grassy area with panoramic water views on all sides.

Water & nature experience

Water for the shower and taps is sourced directly from the lake. Drinking water can be collected at Omtzigt marina – a filled jerrycan will be ready for you upon arrival. From the island, you can jump straight into the clear water for a refreshing swim. The Vinkeveense Plassen are known for their clean swimming water and are also perfect for fishing or simply relaxing.

Includes motorboat

To reach the island and explore the surroundings, you will have access to a sturdy Askeladden motorboat with a 4 hp engine.

• No boating licence required
• Boat is insured (excess €250)
• Option to moor onshore for groceries or trips
• Perfect for exploring the lakes or visiting waterside restaurants

No boating experience? No problem – we will guide you, and within 30 minutes you’ll be ready to go.

Comfort & extras

The cabin is heated with a gas heater, making it warm and comfortable quickly.
