Es hat uns in der Lodge von Rita & John sehr gut gefallen. Das Ambiente ist außergewöhnlich. Die Gastfreundschaft der Beiden ist bemerkenswert! Die Strände in der Gegend - insbesondere am westlichen Ende der Maasvlakte - sind sauber und vermutlich nicht so überlaufen! Das nahegelegene Städtchen Brielle ist einen Besuch wert!

We had a very nice time in Rita and Johns little cabin. It is bigger than we expected from the pictures, so enough space. We loved the oven to heat up on colder days and also everything was there for cooking in the kitchen. There are chicken welcoming you in the mornings and the area invites you to biking and hiking to the bigger cities around Tinte. We recommended it to our friends already.

Das Wochenende im Landgoed "de Tinteling" war wunderbar erholsam. Die kleine Blockhütte ist liebevoll und einfach eingerichtet, läßt dabei auf den wenigen Quadratmetern nichts vermissen; der Holzofen machte es immer schnell warm und gemütlich.Mitten im riesengroßen Anwesen "de Tinteling" ist man in direkter und selbstverständlicher Nachbarschaft zu einigen Hühnern, zwei Ziegen, zwitschernden Vögeln und den äußerst freundlichen Gastgebern Rita und John.Die im Garten gelegene Sauna in Form einer kleinen Kapelle ist sicherlich nicht zuletzt als Highlight zu erwähnen. Ein perfekter Ort, um zu relaxen und das Stadtleben für eine Zeit zu vergessen! Wir werden wiederkommen!

Warm, cosy & great hospitality. We spend a week here during Xmas. This is how the old settlers must have felt! Will be back during warmer days, fishing is the thing than! Thanks a lot Rita, (& husband for towing us out of the mud....)

We spent one week in the beatiful lodge, during early september 2012. We enjoyed it a lot and would come back at any time! Here are the reasons: The Landgoed is a beatiful green and quiet place, a bit park like and a bit like you would imagine a little farm some decades ago in the United States. John and Rita are really passionate about creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, that invites you to relax spend some perfect days. We were very lucky with the weather and did many bike trips through the surrounding nature. But even if it should rain during your stay, there is a lot of stuff to do! Starting with the perfect Finnland style Sauna. Also the lovely little towns close by can be visited, or you take a walk along the beatiful broad beach of Rockanje. Even spending the whole day in the lodge can be an option, if it`s cold you can light a fire and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. The only people we would not recommend this place to, are those who don`t like to have a close-to-nature vacation, than this is the wrong place for you. But if you do like nature, it is just perfect! You will hear a crowing rooster, see some chickens and a goat. The lodge is perfect for two people, there are two more beds underneath the roof, but they are not as perfect as the little cabin bed downstairs. The lodge will provide you with everything you need for cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and we didn´t miss a thing we needed. If you feel like escaping the city noise for some time, this place is highly recommandable! From Köln Germany, Line and Fabian

We were greeted by Rita on a rather windy horrible evening, but once we stepped into the cottage it was warm and lovely. We were excited to see the cottage and the cottage looked even better in life than pictures. Rite was really helpful and she showed us everything and even left some wine, chocolate, bread, egg and candles. She also left a booklet in which everything around the cottage was explained. From how to use the shower to how to use the tv. The booklet was really helpful. The garden in which the cottage was in was beautiful me and my boyfriend took the time to investigate the garden and it was nothing but beautiful. Although i recommend you hire a car for your stay there, as a lot of the shops and inner village life is far away. A bike would be useful too. We throughly enjoyed out stay here, mainly we enjoyed being away from the city and enjoying the country side. This place is great to just get away from everything. We would defiantly visit rockanji again.

We arrived not really knowing what to expect having driven past the industrial areas of Europort and Rotterdam. On arrival we had a warm welcome from Rita who showed us the cottage and suana and explained how to light the wood burning stove to ensure cosy Spetember evenings. We (2 of us) had all we needed and stocked up on provisions in Brielle, about 4 Km away. We rented the bikes and explored the area, visiting small towns that Rita suggested, ate some good bar food at lunchtimes and generally returned to watch the sun go down and / or enjoy a sauna in the garden. The cottage was great for us - we wanted a peaceful week with the opportunity to get out and about and see the surrounding area and that is what we got. Rita and John were helpful and friendly but left us to ourselves and we have no hesitation in recommending this destination to people seeking a similar experience. Highlights - the sauna, peace and quiet and sitting on the deck, watching the stars.

We loved this lodge, which is cosy with lots of extra touches and attention to detail. I’d fallen in love with it from the pictures and the reality was even better. The lodge is surprisingly spacious and well equipped with a small kitchen, modern shower room, sitting area and wood burning stove. There are two single beds in the loft and a double ‘box bed’ in the living room - ideal for a small family. Added extras included wifi, sauna and a very nice welcome tray. The grounds are amazing and we had use of the garden and extensive grounds which include a lake, ponds and a small wood. Picnic tables were available by the lake and in the garden and there were seating areas all over the grounds to take advantage of the fantastic scenery. Our daughter enjoyed, as did we, exploring the grounds and visiting the friendly geese, goats and chickens. The farm is located within easy cycle ride of Rockanje and Brielle and we cycled most days despite the rather rainy August. Rockanje has a beautiful but windy beach and Brielle is a lovely old town with shops and cafes. Rita and John were very friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome yet giving us our privacy. We had the place to ourselves really - unless we needed something and then they couldn’t have been more helpful. We definitely want to come back.

Der Kurzurlaub bei John & Rita war perfekt. Das Vermieterehepaar die ebenfalls auf dem Grundstück leben sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sie haben uns das ganze Grundstück überlassen aber sich dezent zurückgezogen, sodass wir dort eine absolut ruhige Zeit verbracht haben. Das Häuschen selber ist sehr romantisch und perfekt eingerichtet. Die Sauna hatten wir an drei Tagen komplett für uns, wie das Holzhaus wird sie mit einem Holzofen befeuert und kann wenn man will rund um die Uhr genutzt werden (keine festen Saunazeiten wie in Hotels). Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge. Der Strand ist nur fünf Autominuten entfernt, in 20 Minuten ist man aber auch in Rotterdam, bekommt aber von der Stadt nichts mit. Das Haus liegt inmitten von Wiesen und Feldern, ein ständiges Vogelgezwitscher und viele Schwäne und Enten die dort brüten. Fazit: Für einen romantischen Urlaub am Meer gibt es kein idyllischeren Ort. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

het huisje voldeed volledig aan onze verwachtingen. Klein maar knus. Bij aankomst stond er een flesje wijn klaar en er was veel zorg besteed aan kleine details om het verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. De omgeving leent zich prima tot het maken van mooie fietstochten of heerlijk wandelen in de duinen of aan zee. En bij terugkomst is het dan heerlijk ontspannen in de sauna! De privacy wordt gerespecteerd, kortom een aanrader!

Wij hebben met z'n tweeen rond oud en nieuw in het huisje vertoefd, en waren meteen aangenaam verrast toen we binnenkwamen! Het huisje is superlief en knus, de echte houtkachel maakt het lekker warm en geurend naar dennenhout, mmm. De bedstee is geweldig, en de sauna in de tuin ook. Het huisje staat in de achtertuin van het huis van de eigenaren, die ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam zijn (en je toch alle vrijheid en rust geven). Gaan, zeg ik!:)

Ein wunderbar kuscheliges Häuschen! Wir waren über ein langes Wochenende da, es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage ist wunderbar, mit dem Auto ist man schnell am Strand und in den umliegenden kleinen Orten. Im und am Haus findet man Ruhe, sehr schön ist auch die Sauna, die direkt gegenüber im Garten steht und mit einem super Holzofen ausgestattet ist. Auch die Vermieter sind toll, sie wohnen im Haus nebenan, lassen einem aber die Ruhe und fragen höchstens mal, ob alles okay ist. Für Menschen, die einfach mal dem Trubel des Alltags entfliehen wollen, können wir dieses Domizil nur empfehlen!

Ik heb hier een week vertoefd in december 2009. Buiten een dik pak sneeuw, binnen lekker bij de houtkachel. En het hoogtepunt: een houtgestookte sauna en tussendoor afkoelen in de sneeuw. In een woord: geweldig! De ontvangst door Rita was heel gastvrij: houtkachel brandde al, welkomskadootje in de vorm van Finse Gluhwein, bed opgemaakt, grote stapel kwaliteitshandoeken (fijn voor de sauna). Ideaal voor twee personen in de winter. In de zomer, als je naar buiten kunt (mooie tuin met privacy) kan het ook goed met vier personen. Je hebt wel een auto nodig (of fiets, ook te huur daar geloof ik) openbaar vervoer heeft lange reistijden. Goed biologisch boerderijwinkeltje in Rockanje, piepklein, maar ze hebben alles. Een hele romantische plek om tot rust te komen.

Wij hebben een heerlijke kerst gehad, op een geweldig rustige plek. Knus en schoon huisje met alles erop en eraan. Goed bed. Heerlijke houtkachel. Ook de sauna is een aanrader. De omgeving is heerlijk om te wandelen. Veel privacy. De gastheer en gastvrouw zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Al met al een aanrader als je van rust houdt.

We hebben een heerlijk lang weekend beleeft. Twee volwassenen en twee kleine kinderen en slecht weer. De ruimte is eenvoudig en verzorgd. De houtkachel is het centum van het huisje en de ruimte is fijn en schoon. Een huisje met een ziel waar je jezelf Gemakkelijk thuis voelt. De bedstede was de slaapplaats van de kinderen. We hadden er graag ook zelf geslapen. Romantische plek lekker dicht bij zee en met mooie sauna.
