Description
Hello WaW-er,
We are Johan and Monique and we bought a place in a wildlife park!!!! Yes, you are reading this the way it is. It is huge park in The Netherlands, in the south. Our house is located on a holiday retreat park with wild animals. It is amazing but our house needs alot of work. That is something we would love to share with you and enjoy everything this place has to give. Beacharea, super walks, forest, wild live (lions, zebra's etc, etc) - in the evening we like to build a fire and listen to the sounds the lions make......
Come and join us!
Warm regards,
Johan and Monique

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The location will do it all. After the daily task you can enjoy the beach or take the bikes and explore the town of Tilburg, Breda, Hilvarenbeek. This area is so nice to see. Plus Tilburg is an old textile city with a big museum about textile- a must see!
Breda is 20min out - a super town, old settlement of the markies and it has been preserved. Stroling in the park or enjoy a nice drink at the water, it is all possible.
Would you like to enjoy the nightlive? No problem. The city of Tilburg is a student area, it has lot's of pubs, bars, dance area's - you name it for you to enjoy.

The vegetable garden will be an experience garden. It will be the center of the plot and the terras and BBQ area are right in the middle of everything that grows.

Accommodation
Chalet (wood)
It is small because we live outside. The chalet offers room for 4 in total. One room with bunkbeds and the bathroom is shared.
I love to cook. Really does not matter if you vegetarian of vegan or a meat or fish lover - I prep it all. We have a BBQ area outside that I like to use.
We offer 3 meals per day and it is all a variety of foods each and everyday but fresh is the main topic!
What else ...
In terms of transport I suggest using the bikes. on the terrain there is a train and a boat but I would prefer going by foot as the area is all forest and lake. It is super.
The wild animals are 15 min out by foot. The beach is only 2 min out by foot.
If you want to explore The Netherlands more you are in the best area. This is pretty much the centre and the trains from Tilburg will take you anywhere you want to. Very easy to use and to get to.
