Sustainable and environmentally conscious

At the beginning of April, we received the Green Key Gold quality mark. Green Key is the largest sustainability mark for the tourism and recreation sector.

The certificate indicates that we meet the standards of Green Key in the area of sustainability, the environment, and socially responsible entrepreneurship This quality mark shows that we do everything we can to minimize the pressure of our company on nature and the environment. With this, we go just a little bit further than the normal laws and regulations require.

Cleaning and maintenance

We choose our suppliers carefully. Therefore, we work together with Blycolin. They use organic cotton, which is sustainably grown and processed! During the washing and drying procedure, there are several processes monitored so that less energy is needed during this process. With Made Blue, Blycolin compensates for water usage. Needless to say, they wash with EU Ecolabel products. And last but not least, smart logistics ensure the lowest possible amount of CO2 emissions.

Our housekeeping also contributes a bit: we clean with Tersano. Tersano offers the ingenious cleaning system SAO™, which converts tap water to stabilized ozone water. This replaces all daily cleaning chemicals, is more powerful, and has a cleansing effect for 24 hours. This unique system is in line with a CSR cleaning policy.

Our soap dispensers in the hotel rooms are refilled. This is how we we avoid using small disposable plastic bottles.

Likewise, the technical department works without chemicals wherever humanly possible. For example, all of the paint we use is water-based, we use FSC-certified wood, and we employ extra sweepers so that we can limit pesticides.

Food, drinks & waste

Sligro is our supplier for grocery products here. We use their honest and delicious assortment of products. Furthermore, we use many local suppliers for bread, fish, meat, and regional drinks. Our dishes are seasonal. We use as little single-serving packaging as possible, and if we do use it, we use as many Fairtrade items as possible. To prevent waste, we donate products to the food bank in Voorthuizen towards the expiration date, and we put together various boxes via "Too Good To Go" on a weekly basis.

DO YOUR PART

To make sure future generations can enjoy this beautiful Earth as well! You can do this, for instance, by separating your waste and to use electricity sparingly.

You will do more without even noticing it, because the water-saving faucets ensure a decrease of up to 70% in the water being used. You can enjoy playing a board game together at night, while sustainable LED lighting provides light for you. Our smart thermostats ensure it's never too hot or too cold during your stay, and the accommodation is cleaned using eco-friendly cleaning products after you leave. Make a contribution to climate by compensating for the CO2 emission of your trip 🚗 to our park. The world 🌎 needs more forests 🌳. To counteract climate change and increase biodiversity, we have to protect our existing forests, restore our degraded forests and plant new ones. That's why the time for action is now. Or in other words, time to plant a tree 🌳. We do this in collaboration with Trees for all.

Last but not least

We still have many plans for the future. For example, think of Ecotap in the hospitality establishment, using rainwater for watering plants, collecting polyethylene terephthalate bottles for a good cause, insect hotels, and herb gardens. We are far from finished!

As our guest, it is essential for you to know that you will not be inconvenienced by the sustainable actions that we implement. And no, you are not expected to constantly take nature and the environment into account during your vacation. On the contrary, you will probably enjoy your vacation even more with the idea in the back of your mind that you are spending time in an environmentally friendly way.
