Monumental house centrally located in Enkhuizen

This beautiful group accommodation has been realised in an old orphanage. There are modern facilities to make your stay pleasant, but the authentic character has been well preserved. Because the building is in the centre of Enkhuizen, you can walk straight into the cosy centre. Here you will find a variety of shops and restaurants. The city has beautiful old buildings. This with its location on the Zuiderzee, the boats, canals and nice museums make this the perfect place for a wonderful stay
Enkhuizen is a beautiful historical town. Its location on the Zuiderzee gives you the combination of water fun and the ambiance and entertainment of a big city.
Before Amsterdam became the capital, Enkhuizen was the most important trading town. And you can see that everywhere. The beautiful old buildings, the nice details, but also the wide range of catering establishments. Everywhere you find nice bistros, cosy cafés and a large choice of fine restaurants. If you like shopping, you will also find what you need here. Apart from the big shops, there are many speciality shops, and most of the shops are located in beautiful buildings. Enkhuizen also has many interesting museums. The Zuiderzee Museum is an absolute must. You can easily spend a whole day wandering around this large open-air museum. Old houses are reconstructed, old crafts come to life and children can play with old toys.

If you want to visit Enkhuizen with children, you can visit the nostalgic playground Kindervreugde. But we also definitely recommend Sprookjeswonderland. Fairy tales come to life in this amusement park. Look inside a gnome's house, sail in a dopper boat, pet the animals in the petting zoo, take a ride in the Oldtimer Track or go on an exciting Fencepedition! With slightly older children, Klimpark Streekbos in Bovenkarspel is a tip. This spectacular climbing park has challenging obstacles, spectacular ziplines and next to the park you will find a miniature golf course and canoe hire.

Naturally, Enkhuizen offers many options for water sports enthusiasts, including water-skiing, canoeing and surfing, as well as wakeboarding, banana sailing and Fun Tubing. If you want to explore Enkhuizen in a special way, take a suptour through the canals. In bad weather, Enkhuizerzand recreational pool offers a solution. Here, in addition to a competition pool and a recreational pool, you will find a paddling pool, various slides and Turkish steam rooms and sunbeds.

And this port city really shouldn't be left without having sailed once. In the summer months, there is a ferry service to: Urk, Stavoren or Medemblik. With a group, you can also hire an authentic sailing ship and enjoy sailing with family or friends.
