This spacious family home is located in a quiet residential area on the southern edge of Nijmegen. It is a lovely 3-level house, spacious and bright with 5 bedrooms. One room has a sofa bed and a desk, another room sometimes houses a student (bed, desk, simplee cooking facilities), 2 rooms are used daily as a room of one of the children and the largest bedroom serves as a 'master bedroom'. The garden faces south, on the north side (upper level) there is a balcony. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate shower.
The house is located on the south side of Nijmegen, within cycling distance of some beautiful and very dicese landscapes (such as Heumensoord, the Hatertse Vennen). A little further away but still easily accessible by bike the Oiijpolder, or the hilly surroundings of Berg en Dal, the Reichswald. Nijmegen is a nice student city - also the oldest city in the Netherlands. Utrecht is 1hr away, Amsterdam 1,5 hrs.
Station and city center are within cycling distance (15 to 20 minutes). Several bus lines stop around the corner, supermarkets etc a few hundred meters away.

Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
We live in a quiet neighbourhood with all facilities very nearby. The town centre & the river Waal is just 4,5 km from here - 15-20 minutes by bike or by bus. Nijmegen is a very friendly, openminded University city in the east of the Netherlands. The rest of the Netherlands is easily accessible by train (or other transport). (We have many forms of shared transport as well - e.g. electric bikes / scooters etc.).
In less then half an hour you're in Germany. Amsterdam is only 1,5 hours away. But much closer by you'll also find other interesting cities such as Arnhem, Eindhoven, Utrecht or Den Bosch.
Nijmegen is surrounded by many different landscape types - pefect for those who love to hike or bike! The city embraces the river Waal - you can enjoy it from one of the river beaches or by boat of course.
Nearby, in Berg en Dal, you'll find enchanting romantic woods on the hills - most Dutch find it very 'un-Dutch':).
Nijmegen is also the oldest city in the Netherlands - for those interested the Roman remains are still visible in the museum and (to some extent) in the city. What's not to love?

Das Haus war wie beschrieben, von den Fotos her hatten wir es etwas schöner erwartet. Es machte den Eindruck, dass man sich wenig Mühe gegeben hat bei der Vorbereitung zum Haustausch, was Sauberkeit und Ordnung betrifft. Es handelte sich aber nur um einen Wochenende, daher wurde vielleicht nicht so viel Wert drauf gelegt.
A very nice and welcoming home and family; absolutely lovely!
Helemaal goed
Our stay in the quiet village of Driewegen was very pleasant and so was the contact wirh Gerard and Elly!

We are a family of three; Monique (1978), Iggy (2007) and Tygo (2011) plus our cats Abje (2011) and Storm (2019). Abje is still quite fit, she's friendly and requires no special attention. However, she doesn't like other pets invading her terrritory ;). So unfortunately it's not possible to bring your dog or other pet in an exchange. Storm is an easygoing cat who loves to climb.
