Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Cosy house With lots of day light and 360 ° garden and a small orchard with Apple’s and pears to harvest in september.
It’s not so big but very open with big Windows where you look out to the garden around the house. It’s almost like living in a veranda.
Safely closed off by the garden and away from the street. Car Port and small garden house for bikes.

We have 2 bed rooms (4 places to sleep) and a sofa bed in the living room (2 places to sleep).1 bathroom with bath and 2 toilets (one upstairs, one downstairs).

We also have a piano and extra Guitar to play carefully :).

It would be lovely If you could feed our cat Sky (he stays outdoors most of the time, comes in at night to cuddle If he likes you :).
In summertime the plants need to be watered (with a waterhose ) when it doesn’t rain.

We love ebiking, hiking, nature , lakes & mountains!

Limburg has so much to offer. Cycling and walking, lots of nature, fun activities, great sights, art and culture, good food and drink. The greenest province in Flanders is a pleasant place to be all year round. It is a vibrant place where everyone is welcome.

We bet you never thought you would be in Aachen, Maastricht, Liège, Brussels, and Antwerp so quickly from Limburg. All these cities are less than an hour’s drive away. Whoever said Limburg was “far away’?

1 hour drive from Brussels & Antwerpen, 30 minutes from Maastricht (the Netherlands).
