Planning your multi-generational itinerary at Adelhof
A strong plan keeps everyone happy and rested. Use these ideas to structure a smooth, flexible schedule:
- Start together, then split by interest: Meet for breakfast and a group activity (e.g., fishing by the pond), then split by energy level—pool time for kids, a forest walk for grandparents, tennis or mini golf for teens.
- Build in quiet windows: Since there’s no connecting door, naps and early bedtimes stay peaceful. Schedule midafternoon downtime so babies rest and elders recharge.
- Use the café/restaurant strategically (Apr–Oct): Plan a welcome dinner, midweek lunch, or farewell meal so no one has to cook for the whole crew. Remember: inquire about the options in advance.
- Pick activity anchors:
- Morning: cycling or a gentle nature walk
- Midday: swimming at the Bosbad (in season)
- Afternoon: indoor playground ’t Hofje (Apr–Oct) or table tennis
- Evening: relaxed time at your terraces, then early nights for little ones
- Rotate kid and grandparent moments: Give each generation dedicated time—go-kart fun with the entertainment team for kids, quiet nature time for grandparents.
Choosing the right bungalow mix (and alternatives)
For most multi-generational families, the Type 6A adjacent setup is the sweet spot. Still, you may want to tailor a portion of your accommodation. Consider:
- Type 6A (pets-welcome or no-pets): Keep family units side-by-side with the configuration and pet policy that fits each household.
- Type 6A Comfort: If some relatives prefer all rooms on the ground floor and extra home comforts (including a fireplace, microwave and oven, and patio furniture), this 6-person option near the fishing pond is a great complement.
- Grass Roof Bungalow (up to 4 people): A quiet, detached choice with a round, sloping grass roof and 2 bedrooms with box spring beds—ideal for those who value extra privacy and calm.
- Type 6B (up to 6 people): A detached 6-person bungalow next to the fishing pond, with a fully equipped kitchen, underfloor heating, and a terrace.
Note: The 10% discount applies to Type 6A pricing for the group accommodation setup. Other bungalow types can be booked separately to suit individual preferences.
Practical takeaways for a smooth group stay
- Decide on headcount early: Choose two adjacent Type 6A bungalows for up to 12, or three for up to 18.
