Goedleven 16 is our address, on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, just outside the charming village of Waterlandkerkje (NL) and right next to Waterland-Oudeman (BE).
A real Dutch cottage in the heart of the Zeeland polders. Between sea and land, in a place full of silence, light and space. Literally a place to breathe, relax and simply be.
Our cottage offers a warm and welcoming living space with a wood-burning stove, a quiet garden and a small cabin tucked away in the green.
Winter weekends by the fire, long summer evenings outdoors, barbecues in the garden, roasting marshmallows or spending the night in the cabin — each season has its own rhythm here.
The slow and simple way of living is what we truly cherish.
Surrounded by wide Zeeland countryside, Goedleven16 feels wonderfully remote — yet the beaches of Breskens and Groede are only a 20-minute drive away. The Belgian town of Knokke and the Dutch village of Cadzand can both be reached within 25 minutes.
For gentle day trips, the historic cities of Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp are also within easy reach — perfect before returning to the calm landscape.
This is where days slow down and attention gently shifts inward — a place to step away from everyday noise and truly disconnect.
Spend long evenings by the fire, take quiet walks through the polders, follow cycling routes that wind through the landscape or head to the beach for open skies and sea air. Good, local restaurants can also be found nearby.
And if you take our address literally, you’ll quickly understand why:
Life ist good here.
From time to time, we share a small update —
seasonal availability and quiet moments from Goedleven16.
We only send a note when there’s truly something to share.
