Here you wake up to the golden glow of the morning light and enjoy coffee on a terrace extending over the water. You won't be staying in the hustle and bustle of a large holiday park, but at an intimate, spacious location with 11 nature-rich waterside lodges. With water, nature, and Friesland all around you.
Goudpoel is for those seeking peace, nature lovers, and families who prefer playing outdoors, swimming, boating, and slowing down rather than seeking out crowds. A place where the day naturally begins at a more relaxed pace.
The name Goudpoel refers to the former Goudtsjepoel, which was located nearby. This pool owed its name to the sun's shimmer on its shallow waters, where the visible sand made it appear as if gold lay beneath the surface.
