Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is quite spacious, especially for Dutch standards. It has a kitchen and dining room with a large dining table and a separate living/sitting room with a nice view on the garden. The second floor has three bedrooms and a small, but comfortable bathroom. Last year we had a second, second floor added on top of our living room with another two bedrooms and a second bathroom. This is still work in progress however.

In the garage we have 6+ bikes which may used if treated carefully and locked properly. Castricum is very safe, but you can never be to careful.

I hope this gives some idea on where we live.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our home is located in the center of Castricum in a quiet neighborhood with a nice view on a 'park' which has a play rack for children. Once a year it does get quite busy however when the yearly fair is in town which is located at the Brink. This year (2019) it will be from Saturday August 10, till Tuesday August 13. Our children love it, but it can get a noisy from noon till midnight.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Our home is located in the center of Castricum with shops, restaurants, theatre, swimming pool, train station, but also the Noord-Holland Dune Reserve which is a beautiful forest with great trails, all at walking distance. The beach is only 5 minutes by car, but we strongly recommend going there by bike through our lovely dunes with beautiful scenaries.

Castricum is centrally located in Noord Holland. Amsterdam is only 25 minutes by train, Alkmaar with the famous cheese market only 10 minutes and Haarlem at 20 minutes. Futhermore, Zaandam with the Zaanse Schans (wind mills) is only 10 minutes away.

By car there are so many more options of things to see and do. For example the windmill museum (see https://www.museummolen.nl/nl/over-de-museummolen) and villages like Volendam, Edam and/or Marken take you back in time.

If you are more interested in nature, we can recommend a day-tour to Texel and visit the beautiful and unique Wadden, either on foot or by boat tour and see seales. In the dunes in Castricum itself you can run into Scottish Highlander cows or horses or if you are early (and lucky) even a fox. On the way to the beach, there is a visitors center which explains among other things how our tapwater is filtered and what animals live in the reserve. The National Park Zuid Kennermerland (the dunes/forest close to Haarlem) have lots of dear.
