Looking for team energy-boosters? Consider sheep herding in the meadow, fencing in the riding arena, or a lively percussion workshop. These activities are ideal bookends to focused work blocks and add a memorable, team‑bonding dimension to your offsite.

Expand Your Offsite: Water, Wheels, and the Countryside

Set in the polder along the Holendrecht river, Villa Oldenhoff is a serene yet connected base near Amsterdam. Extend your program with nature‑rich micro‑adventures:

• Boat time, simplified: Villa Oldenhoff offers a sloop (max. 12 persons). There’s direct water access to Abcoude, Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, and the Vinkeveense Plassen—and within an hour you can be cruising Amsterdam’s canals.
• Two-wheel exploration: Bicycle rental is € 10 per bike per day, making it easy to add an active break through the surrounding meadows.
• Overnight comfort on site: Villa Oldenhoff is a boutique bed and breakfast with six large bed and breakfast rooms, two suites on the stable, and a smaller twin—ideal if your offsite spans multiple days.

These options give you the flexibility to design a day (or multi‑day) experience that matches your team’s goals and pace.

A Setting That Reflects Modern Values

Choosing De Stallen also aligns your meeting with thoughtful, future‑minded operations:

• 154 solar panels help generate the venue’s own electricity.
• Four EV charging points on-site make arriving and departing with electric vehicles easy.
• Sustainable choices—from cleaning products to room amenities—are woven into daily operations.

If sustainability is a priority for your organization, Villa Oldenhoff’s practical, on‑site measures support your values without compromising comfort.
