Kooij Hoeve

Dairy farm in Abbenbroek, South Holland

A great choice, cow-watching at FarmCamps Kooij Hoeve

It was love at first sight when farmer Wouter van der Kooij and Joëlle met at a barn party at New Year’s Eve 2006. Now these childhood sweethearts have been living together for quite a few years with their sons Berrie and Bas and (in-law) parents farmer Saskia and farmer Arie on their tidy dairy farm Kooij Hoeve. With dog Lou and cats Lemon and Apple, it is a cosy animal mess!

Wouter is third-generation farmer on this farm and was brought up on dairy farming. But farmer Wouter’s love of cows goes a step further. You can safely call it his passion to breed beautiful cows. He beams with pride when he talks about his beautiful cows. The Kooij Hoeve’s cows regularly win prizes at the breeding days. Top cow of the herd is Rika 349, from head to udder an excellent cow!

Grandma Saskia and Grandpa Arie are also very busy on the farm. Grandma lovingly feeds and cares for the calves and small animals on the farm and makes sure the yard and garden look like a jewel in the crown.

Grandpa does all kinds of jobs on the farm and is busy all day. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because (grand)sons Berrie and Bas also love life on the farm. Berrie loves helping daddy feed the cows and Bas loves cuddling the sweet calves on the farm.

There is plenty to do and discover on this farm. You can take a look at farmer Wouter and farmer Arie in the milk pit or help farmer Saskia look after and feed the calves. Of course, the other animals on the farm also want to be fed and cuddled. There are chickens, cats and bunnies living in the cuddle barn who can’t wait to be (gently) stroked. If you are lucky, you might even get a ride on the tractor!

And when you are not cuddling or feeding the animals, you can play on the farm. Romp around on the go-karts, jump on the trampoline or rummage around in the mud kitchen and build huts in the tree-line.

The farm is located in a nice quiet spot on the island of Voorne-Putten, between the port of Rotterdam and sunny Zeeland, in the middle of the polder and close to the lovely towns of Brielle and Hellevoetsluis and the beaches of Rockanje and Oostvoorne.

So, would you like to get to know this nice farming family who would love to tell you all about modern dairy farming and at the same time enjoy nature, animals, games and peace and quiet? Then FarmCamps Kooij Hoeve is the right place for you!

Guests about Kooij Hoeve

The kids loved it, and so did we! The tent was super, cosy, comfortable and completely complete. Everything was mega child-friendly, there was enough for hours of fun. Everything was very clearly laid out, so we could see the children from the tent. For the first time, we could even read a book while the children played wonderfully. We saw the children blossom. We really enjoyed ourselves! We couldn't have wished for a better holiday. Or yes, we would have liked to stay a bit longer... and we will definitely come back!

A quick peek at Kooij Hoeve

Where do I sleep

In the outskirts of the village of Abbenbroek on the South Holland island of Voorne-Putten lies the modern dairy farm of farmer Wouter and farmer’s wife Joëlle, their two kids and Wouter’s parents Saskia and Arie. A nice quiet place where you can fully enjoy real life on a dairy farm.

The South Holland island of Voorne-Putten is located between Rotterdam and Zeeland. The island does not only offer nice towns like Brielle, Heenvliet and Hellevoetsluis, but also the seaside resorts of Rockanje and Oostvoorne. FarmCamps Kooij Hoeve is therefore ideal for a beach holiday with a city feel!

On the farm, you stay in one of the 8 luxury tents that are all located around a cosy and spacious field. You can choose one of the 4 Barntents with air conditioning, private bathroom with bathtub, a large kitchen with dishwasher and 6 comfortable beds, two of which are in the cosy Hay Hay loft and a lovely hammock next to the tent. Or choose one of the 4 Farmtents, a cosy, cosy tent with air conditioning, bathroom with luxury shower in the tent and a spacious veranda. All tents also have their own BBQ and Lavazza espresso machine, the ultimate in luxury! On the tent site, the kids can play wonderfully and walk straight to the play barn or to the cowshed.

Finding out is fun!

Of course, your farming adventure is only complete when you also learn something on the farm. And farmer Wouter and Arie and farmer’s wife Joëlle and Saskia personally take care of that.

Farmer Wouter and farmer Arie love to tell you all about milking the cows and they love it when you help them sweep the barn. Farmer Saskia will show you how the calves are fed, but of course the chickens and rabbits need looking after too. They can really use your help there. And if the grass needs mowing, you might even get to come along on the tractor into the fields.

If you like to play more, this farm is the place to be. Go tobogganing, jumping on the trampoline, building huts with your new friends or messing about in the mud kitchen. Here there are no rules – just enjoy yourself!
