Rented by Janny & Ivo

We (Janny and Ivo) are both self-employed and enthusiastic water sports enthusiasts. We are both originally from Rotterdam. After working and living in Brabant for a number of years, we have lived in the province of Groningen since 1998. Friesland has been our favorite sailing area for over 15 years. The super cozy Grou in particular was always a place to go by boat for a few days.
Since 2021 we have even permanently moored in Grou by boat and we have also come to appreciate Friesland by bike.
Because of that 'love' for Friesland and Grou, we looked for a nice recreational spot for 'later'. That is why we placed the Reed Heron on Yn'e Lijte in 2021. Due to the enthusiastic responses to the rental, the Grutte Fiif Safari Lodge followed in 2023 and the Ral Heron was added in 2024.
