"Nice location near dunes. Great to have a drink after a scroll though the forest.
For small kids there is great playing area. There is water when it's warm, so change of clothes is recommended. There is also playground inside."

"An absolute diamond of a place for people with young kids. Right by the dunes, with a massive kids sand playground. 2yr old & 5 Yr old loved it, playing happily & safely. Sat at a table and then a self service bar to also order food. Delicious bitteballen, came quickly and helpful staff. Would return and recommend :)"
