Lodge by the water

Here, the water always feels close. The terrace extends over the water, placing you directly above it. You overlook the water and the small beach, hear birds among the reeds, and watch the light change throughout the day.

In the morning, you drink coffee by the shore. During the day, you can easily walk to the small beach or get on the water with a SUP or sloop. And as evening falls, you can linger outside with a glass of wine as the sun slowly sets over the water.

Sheltered lodge

These lodges are more sheltered amidst natural vegetation. Here, your stay feels more tranquil and secure. You have ample space and greenery around you.

This is the place to wake up slowly with the morning light filtering through the trees. To enjoy breakfast outdoors under the overhanging roof. The water of the shore and the Frisian lakes is nearby, but your lodge feels like your own peaceful, private spot in nature.

THIS IS GOUDPOEL

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.
