Welcome!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN OLDER COUPLE WITH EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS TO LOOK AFTER OUR SWEET BLACK LADY SHEPHERD WHEN WE TRAVEL WITH OUR FAMILY TO CUBA (APRIL 2021). NO EXCHANGE REQUIRED (or maybe non-simultanous). Ask us for more information.

We offer a big house, in the old citycentre of Zutphen, 50m from the IJsselriver (with waterlane for the children). 450m2, 5 stages, nice little garden, near shops, water (old river) at a marvelous little place with a rich history in the east of the Netherlands. Our dog stays only at the ground floor; second and higher floors not allowed for her. Our house:

5 sleepingrooms (i.c. 1 unit) for 12 guests (beds: 3* 2 person, 5* 1 person);
2 livingrooms;
Big livingkitchen and diningroom;
Bathroom with bath;
Basement;
2 toilets.

Securities to apply are wii, dvd (including a lot of arthousemovies, kidsmovies), computer, classic games, a lot of books and toys. We can send you more photographs of the interior, if you like.

AMSTERDAM is only 1,5 our traveling. We can tell you where to find a good parking in our capital city, or how to travel by train. Border Germany one our.

Our style (interiour house) is INDUSTRIAL-CLASSIC-NATURE. A lot of wood, several colours, creativity, raw elements, Morrocan-Portugese floors. We have some mountainbikes (4*) and regular bikes (4*). 

We had 12 intervac home-exchanges: Brussel (BE, 2008), Amsterdam (NL, 2008), Haarlem (NL, 2010), Austria (2010), Woudrichem (NL, 2012), Belgium (2012), Leeuwarden (2012), Denmark (2013), Normandy (2014), Versailles/Paris (2016), UK (2017), Spain (2018), Berlin and Prague (2019).

We can stay at you're house sumultanous or non-sumultanous. Dates and places we like to exchange christmas and/or summer 2021: Belgium, N-France, Germany, Swiss, S-Denmark. Summer 2022: Spanisch speaking (Latin) America (Argentinia for instance), Canada, Greeche, Italy, Norway or Sweden. We like to come with our black shepherd 'Baka', if possible. Otherwise we will look for another opportunity for her.

We are looking for people to exchange who (just like us and our children) respect other people's things, who also like clean houses. Water in the neighbourhood would be lovely (sea or swimmingpool).

You will like it here in Zutphen: plenty of room, beautifull old environment, riverlife, shops all around. Ask for more pictures if you like. Looking forward to hear from you!
