Petra de Wit
The Smiling Buddha is a spacious, bright two-room house with an outdoor terrace that you can use freely and has its own free entrance and private parking space.
Hello this is Petra, Living with Adrie on one of the most beautiful parts of the Island Goeree-Overflakkee. I love both city and country, poetry and reading and anything exciting life brings. My greatest passion in life is photography. We love to meet new people and that is what hospitality is about.
In the area you will find numerous water sports activities such as diving, surfing or strolling along the beach at Grevelingenmeer, which is a 10-minute drive away and the beaches of Ouddorp, which is a 30-minute drive from the accommodation. There are several golf courses nearby and a riding school. There are many cycling routes and walking paths in the area and also several beautiful nature reserves. A half-hour drive away you will find the city of Rotterdam with countless sights and a large harbor that is worth a visit, or you can drive to the forests in North Brabant where you can enjoy walking or have fun in the Climbing Forest. If you like smaller, picturesque towns, Zierikzee or Willemstad are worth recommending.
