What visitors say

Visitors consistently praise this charming farm as an exceptionally beautiful and diverse garden, often describing it as a dreamy, idyllic, or even paradisiacal retreat. The meticulously designed landscape features a wide array of plants, flowers, perennials, and roses, with many noting its vibrant blooms even after dry summers. Guests particularly appreciate the garden’s secret corners and the overall sense of tranquility, inviting them to linger for hours.

A highlight for many is the delicious, homemade cake, served alongside coffee, tea, or refreshing drinks. The self-service concept, sometimes with payment via QR code, is seen as a testament to the trust placed in visitors and contributes to the relaxed atmosphere. The warm hospitality of the owners is frequently commended, making guests feel welcome and readily sharing insights about the garden’s features. Beyond the stunning flora, visitors can enjoy a cozy coffee spot in the conservatory, browse a charming antique/brocante shop, and delight in encounters with resident animals like cats and black sheep.

The farm is typically open on Thursdays, and occasionally for special events or by appointment. While the experience is overwhelmingly positive, one visitor did highlight a challenge with communication due to a language barrier (no English spoken) and outdated website information regarding an event, leading to a wasted trip. Therefore, prospective visitors are advised to confirm opening details in advance.

Overall, this hidden gem on Walcheren offers a rustic and relaxing haven, celebrated for its beauty, culinary treats, and genuine charm, making it a highly recommended destination.
