Houten Boshuis

Dream away in Oosterhout ....

Are you looking for a special place to unwind, with luxury, a trendy interior, and wellness in a green setting? Then you have come to the right place. The 'Houten Boshuis' has recently been built and is made of cedar wood. It is the sister of the 'Betonnen Boshuis' and 'Stalen Boshuis' and is located in a wooded area near Breda. From home, you can enjoy lovely walks and bike rides. The owners have a passion for spatial design and art. The architecture and interior design make use of wood, concrete, and glass, combined with modern comfort. The result is surprising and unique, harmonizing with the rural surroundings.
The 'Houten Boshuis' is located on the Bergvliet estate, which also features an 18-hole golf course and the new luxury spa-wellness resort Spa One. The house is not part of the recreation park Bergvliet villas, but is a private home situated on a different section of the estate. The large windows provide a beautiful view of the spacious terrace with a covered hot tub. From the house, you can enjoy lovely walking and cycling routes through the Vrachelse heath. The golf course also has a restaurant where you can go for drinks, lunch, or dinner. Want to explore the area? The gastronomic city of Breda is about a 10-minute drive away, and the Efteling amusement park or a boat trip in the National Park de Biesbosch are also nearby.
