My name is Adrieke, I'm 54 years and am looking for a holiday destination with my 2 girls Danette (16 years) and Karien (14 years).
We are looking for a nice holiday destination in Europe. We do have lots of experience with earlier home-exchanges (not on this site, but good references available if you wish).
We happily live in this house for almost 15 years now - also with my 18 year old son, but he is studying now. We love our neighborhood (shops closeby at walking distance, and beach, dunes, walking areas, woods, Haarlem for shopping, musea and nice terraces at close distance by bike). Also close to Amsterdam, Keukenhof and lots of nice tourist attractions (either by car or by train). If you wish, you can borrow at least 3 bikes.
We have a large (mostly long) garden (7x50m) with lost of space and seats both in the sun or in the shadow.
We live together with our 2 cats and our dog. The cats will stay at home and we would kindly ask you to feed them only once a day. The cats are very friendly and will not bother you and can freely walk in and out by the small cat's door.
Our dog will be staying at another family during our holidays, so you will not have to take care of her.
I'm working as a safety advisor at drinking water company and I am very interested into gardening and sustainability.
In our house you will find separate waste bins for paper, plastic, glass. For organic waste you'll find a compost area in the garden. Our warm water is collected by solar panels (don't worry, once finished the gas boiler will automatically take over!)
In the summer our garden is full of fruits and vegetables, feel free to enjoy those and you'll make me very happy if you will water the plants when they need so. We will provide you with an inflatable swimming pool and a table tennis table in the garden. You will find other outside play stuff in the garden house.
We have four bedrooms with each a double bed. So 8 sleeping places in total. We have 2 full bathrooms at the first and second floor and 2 extra toilets downstairs.
We have wifi all over the house and to a large extent in the garden. Downstairs we have 1 television with cable-TV (and 2 HDMI ports) with a large amount of international channels, a DVD player and lots of DVD's.
Our bookcases are full of books (mainly dutch however), games and puzzles for you to enjoy.
If you like to play music, we do have a piano and 2 guitars available. I'm sure you will handle them with care. The piano is both acoustic and has a silent mode (electric, so you can study/play with headphones on).
Well ... that's about what I can tell you for now. Please, feel free to ask anything you're curious about and don't hesitate to send us a nice holiday proposal! Kind regards!! Adrieke

Beskrivelse av hjemmet vi tilbyr å bytte bort
Childfriendly house, friendly neighbourhood, near to shops, 15min from beach, garden, 20min from Amsterdam (by train), 30min from The Hague (by train).
We are looking for an exchange with a family, kids are welcome. My kids are 14, 16 and 18 years old (two girls and the oldest is a boy).
As you can see on the pictures, our house has a comfortable garden, (50m. deep, facing South).
There is plenty of sun, but also shadow when preferred.
The garden has a playing yard with small soccer field. The swing is not available anymore.
On walking distance of the shopping area in the center of Heemstede.
Many tourist attractions in the region on cycling distance (amongst others: Zandvoort (dunes and beach), Haarlem (shoping, dining, musuem, etc.), Estate Groenendaal (for walking in the woods, children's farm, playground), Linnaeushof (biggest playground in Europe!)
We would appreciate if you can look after our 2 cats, easily to take care of (only provide them with water and food please, they have their own entrance to walk in and out of the house).
And can you please water our plants outside in case of a dry week?
Also (a few) plants indoors.

Hva vi liker, hva vi ikke liker ... Her er våre preferanser og husordensregler.
We will carefully take care of your house and belongings and expect you to do the same. We can take care of your pets, plants and garden if you wish. We have two cats that stay at home or in the garden. They have their own entrance to go in and out. So you only need to keep their feeding bowls filled and provide them with water. We would appreciate if you could water our garden in case that is needed.
