Relaxing holiday for nature lovers and rest seekers

In the Scheldt river valley at the edge of the Flemish Ardennes, only 15km from the historical cities Ghent en Oudenaarde…

’t Schippershuis is situated next to the Scheldt river, in a natural setting of meadows and old river arms.

An old cobble stone road leads to the house at the back of a dead end street, surrounded by inspiring nature.

Privacy and quiet are absolutely guaranteed.
