We are a family of five total: Two adults , Ton and Suzanne (41 and 39 years old) and three young boys (aged 11, 8 and 5).
Ton works both in the Aviation business and as a higher education lecturer in Amsterdam and Suzanne works as a nurse. In our spare time we like spending time with family, making music and reading. Both of us are quite socially involved in local initiatives (church, local politics, etc.). Overall; we really enjoy being a family together and exploring the world around us.
For us mutual trust is very important. We are very happy to welcome you in our home. We will treat your home as it were ours and we ask you to do the same. If we can build on such a simple premise, then we are looking forward to getting in touch if our home-exchange wishes coincide!

The hoge veluwe was breathtaking and we love to see Het Loo and Amersfoort and many other things. The contact with the van Kempen´s was very nice and they took part when our car broke and tried to help us. That was really nice.

Read More...Dear Suzanne and Ton, Thank you for welcoming us in your house, we've had a wonderful holiday. Our youngest (9) had a lot of fun with all the toys and games and also the swimming pool. We've explored the area, made nice walks in the forest with our dog and it was nice that everything we needed was closeby. While there was enough space in the house, our oldest daughter choose to stay in the little house in the yard the whole time, together with the dog :) We've also enjoyed communicating with you through Whatsapp. When we came back home our house was clean and tidy. Thanks again! Greetings, Petersen family

Read More...We spent a nice week in the cosy house of Suzanne and Ton. We experienced a lot, even if the weather was not so good. We explored the forest behind the house and were traveling with the bicycles. Swimming and hiking was great. The Burgerzoo and Rotterdam were of course great highlights. One week and so many impressions! We felt very comfortable in the house and our children loved to play with the toys of the three boys of Suzanne and Ton. The house was tidy and clean and they left our house the same way.

To be able to walk straight into the forest at such close proximity is such a luxury. Thank you for allowing Ivo's mother to stay in your house as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the exchange and thank you for "delivering" our house in pristine condition.

There were lots op possibilities for walks from the house, which was nice. Unfortunately the weather didn't always cooperate, but we still had a good week. The van Kempens are a very nice family and we had good contacts with them before the holiday and during our stay. Thank you very much for having us stay.

Read More...We stayed at Suzannes and Tons house in the Netherlands around new year 2020. Coming from Brussels, it was exactly what we were looking for. We can recommend an exchange with them: everything was as it should be. A nice house (not big, but still very comfortable for our family of 5), a warm welcome and - not to forget - a great location. Walking/cycling distance to the center of Bennekom with all the shops/amenities you need. But more importantly, the green heart of the Netherlands is at walking/cycling distance too. And easily to combine with a trip to Utrecht/Amsterdam/The Hague, .... Thanks Suzanne & Ton for this very nice exchange. Take care!

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
* we have an exchange for summer 2024*
Nice family home (136 m2, semi-detached), built in 1929, centrally situated in the small town of Bennekom. The house has a spacious garden (430m2) with a lot of privacy. A trampoline and swing for the children are also there. Small town charm in a green area, while very close to major highways; 60 minutes by car to Amsterdam, a central train station is close by at 3km. A large and nice outdoor public swimming pool and play garden is located within 2km's of our house.
As the photos will show you, the entire house is always nice, tidy and clean but simple and basic in some places. It is not a perfect 'living magazine' style house (yet?). We live here since 2013 and some parts of the house will be renovated later, it is not perfect and might be rough in the finer details. The photos show you the house in all honesty as it is right now. The garden is actually more spacious than shown on these pictures. The ground floor was renovated in 2021 (new floor, new kitchen)
Besides being a nice place to stay and live, perhaps one of the nicest things of this house is it's location and how easy it is reached: It is situated in a quiet, nice small and green village, with a lot of facilities nearby like a outdoor swimming pool (1.5km), forest (350m), and lots of things to do for families. But besides that it is also situated very close to (walking/biking distance (3km)) from intercity central train station Ede-Wageningen. From there is a DIRECT connection (no need to change trains) to ALL of the following destinations: Amsterdam central station (50-60min), Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (60 min), Utrecht (20 min), Arnhem (15 min), Amersfoort (40 min) etc. A bus also stops at the end of the street (600 meters) which brings you directly to and from that station (7 minutes), although you can easily park your car or bike there. If you use a car, the major highways A12, A30 are a mere 3 km away, which brings you from our house to Amsterdam by car within the hour.
We can provide one or two cars if that is preferred. And of course, in The Netherlands many things can be done by bike and biking infrastructure is very good. We will provide bikes for you and your family (adult and/or children's bikes) if that is preferred.
6 beds; 2 bunkbeds, 1 double bed, 1 childrensbed ( length 1,50m). Not in the pictures, but the small wooden garden house (4th picture) offers a basic extra accommodation for two adults: A bunk bed, wooden floor, simple chair and table, etc. Tidy and clean, very basic in nature but finely suited for the summer, offering two extra beds.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
There is so much to see and do nearby. Some nice things to do are already in the photos and in the links down here are some nice suggestions. We will provide our guests with a to-do list.
Our house is located on the edge of the “Veluwe” Area, the place where the Dutch themselves go to for their holidays, and if you are looking for the large well-known cities like Amsterdam or Den Haag, they are also very good reachable in less than an hour by train.
Our house is perfectly located to explore really the best parts of The Netherlands: traveling to the west, you will find all the well-known and large Dutch cities and activities easy reachable within an hour by car or train, while on the East and North-East you will find the greenest and most nature-filled part of the country ; the largest Dutch national Park "The Hoge Veluwe" can be found within a few km's with all its activities and touristic visitor centers or quietness if you prefer that. Biking, walking, hiking can all be done directly from our home.
In The Netherlands a lot of things can be done by bike. We will provide you with the bikes you need if you prefer!
Actividades culturales y de ocio
Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
We will leave your house clean and tidy. We will live in your house as it were our own. We (adults and we teach our children the same) find it important to take care of our own things and of the things of others. If you can relate to a kind of similar attitude then you are very welcome in our house!
