Outings and culture

Brochures are available at reception; we are happy to help. See also bergenaanzee.com for art and culture in the area. In summer there are music events, concerts, exhibitions and poetry. Nearby is the artists’ village of Bergen with galleries and museums; historic towns such as Alkmaar, Hoorn and Enkhuizen are great for a day trip.

More about the beach, dunes and surroundings is on our Surroundings page.

Final cleaning and check-out

Check-out is by 11:00 at the latest. You can do the final cleaning yourself or have us do it (rates are at the top of this page). If you clean yourself: there is a cupboard in the corridor with cleaning supplies and a vacuum cleaner. Strip the bed, empty the dishwasher, clean tables, sink, microwave, bathroom and bins, vacuum and mop the floor. Check the balcony and sockets for forgotten items.

If we do the final cleaning, we still ask you to wash up, tidy and empty the dishwasher. No time to clean thoroughly? You can still choose our cleaning service for the fee stated above.

Return your key card(s) to reception.
