Hi my name is Annelies and I live in a cottage near the Schelde river.
I adore the hustle and bustle of the city but I do need to have a quiet read in my garden.
And new adventures... yes please!! =)

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
I have 2 bedrooms and a small kids bed under the roof. There is an open kitchen-dining area and a small but cosy living room around a snug pellet stove.
I should mention that the staircase is an open one, so there is no door between downstairs and the big bedroom!
The bathroom has a freestanding bath with shower. You find a good size garden to linger and a terrace under the nut tree for outside meals
My little 1830 house lies amidst the fields and near the river Schelde.
In Flanders this quiet setting so close to cultural vibrant cities is rather rare.
I adore it here and want to share it with you!
(Because the house is secluded it is handy to have a car. You can use the 'belbus' from the station that stops behind the corner. or bike from station is apr 20 mins)

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
I only have a handful of neighbours. They respect the peace and quiet and are helpful and friendly.
Nature is all around, I often see deer outside my house or on my walks . Come springtime and autumn the geese fly over to seek a resting place.
For a longtime I lived in Antwerp and Ghent, cherished cities. Brussels and Mechelen I adore too. They all are fairly easy reachable by train from Bornem station.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
In idyllic Little Brabant, the Scheldt meanders its way between green banks, mud flats and salt marshes.
There are wonderful walks, bike-rides along the river and through the fields. You can visit several castles.
Only 1/2 hour away are the cultural hotspots BXL and Antwerp with an abundance of musea, gastronomic and shopping adventures =)
I can give you lots of personal favorites, also in Ghent, or you can just roam free and find out yourself...

Cafés & bars

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Although I realise that you will be on a holiday in my house, may I please ask to respect the tranquillity of the neighbourhood.
