Tent house - Twentse Buitenleven - Sterrenkubus in Overijssel, romantisch

Romantic overnight stay in a Star Cube

On one of the darkest spots in the middle of the Twente countryside are some star cubes. A unique concept of ecotourism where you can admire the universe from your comfortable bed "in the open air. The square wooden houses are sustainable, eco-friendly and fully equipped. A telescope and educational materials about the stars provide hours of stargazing fun. The farm also offers farm rooms (some with steam rooms) and luxury safari tents with bathrooms. Something for everyone and certainly a wonderful place for children to explore. They can help take care of the cows, maybe take a ride on the tractor and have fun "adventures" at the watering hole. Within walking distance is the Cosmos Observatory, which of course a visit should not be missed.
