Biodegradable products: To protect our natural water treatment system, we kindly ask that you use only biodegradable personal care products (such as toothpaste, shampoo, dish soap, and sunscreen).
Smoke-free grounds:All our grounds (Thietry, Forge Neuve, and the goat farm) are smoke-free, including e-cigarettes. Smoking is only permitted outside the grounds.
Children’s festival: One week in August, our grounds host the Children’s Festival ("het Eigentijds Kinderfestival"). During this week, there will be a lively, festive atmosphere, which means the usual peace and quiet may be less prominent. For exact dates, please check the Children’s Festival website.
Dogs: Calm dogs are welcome at Ecolonie. However, we kindly ask you to respect a few rules: dogs must always be kept on a leash on the premises and walked outside the grounds. During mealtimes, dogs are not allowed in the dining room. Are you staying in a guest room? Then you will need to bring your own mat or crate for your dog.
