Rented by Michel van Woudenberg
Hello, my name is Michel van Woudenberg. After living abroad for 20 years, I returned to the Netherlands in 2024 and now live in the former town hall of Stavoren (a.d. 1889) with my wife Anita and we decided that we wanted others to experience the unique location directly on the IJsselmeer 'dike' with a view over the water.

Tips from the owner
You walk straight from the garden onto the dike and the old harbour is then a few hundred metres to the right. You can use the wood-fired hot tub in the garden for a small fee (tell me in advance so I can prepare it for you). I have lots of tips for you about what to do and see in the area, including all kinds of water sports.
