Over The BEE Garden

About "The BEE Garden" 

We are Ellen & Nico and have been living in Wanzele for about 10 years now. The charm of the old farm, the beautiful authentic half open stable and the large garden made us decide to purchasing this house.

Over the last couple of years we renovated and changed many things. The garden was transformed from a horse pasture with an old orchard into an ecological garden with various fruit trees and shrubs, a large vegetable garden, pond, wild flower meadow and flower borders for various pollinators.

Two years ago the idea arose to receive guests in the garden and it became an immediate success. We liked it so much that during the renovation of the old stables, we changed our plans and decided to add a guest room.

There are different ways to spend the night at "The BEE Garden":

​​

  • in the renovated, authentic guest room

  • in a luxuriously furnished glamping tent in the garden

  • camping with your own tent, camper or van

In the garden you can enjoy the beautiful, distant view of the fields, a delicious barbecue, a cosy evening around the campfire or a game of Kubb.
You can also challenge each other to a game on the petanque court, on the old authentic football table or for a game of darts.

We only accept one booking at a time for the garden, which means that you have the garden to yourself and can enjoy the peace and quit surrounding. Only if we also have a booking for the guest room, it might be possible that you meet a few other guests.

About us

I, Ellen, have been passionate about plants, animals and nature since childhood. I have been a beekeeper for several years and have two beehives in the garden, where the bees provide delicious, own honey.

As a herbalist and I am currently following a course ' How to process the herbs' and 'Animal care with herbs'.

Nico is an avid cyclist, both on the road and in the field. He knows all the nice cycling paths in the area and will help you to plan a nice bike ride in the field, in the woods or on the road.

He also ensures we can harvest a lot of tasty fruit from our own garden and processes this in homemade jams and syrup.

We are happy to welcome you with the necessary explanation about our different passions.
