General overview
Do you want to discover the Netherlands? Then this house is what you are looking for. Located in the heart of the Netherlands, all highlights are within easy reach. And if you want to sit quietly on the couch after a day of exploring, you will come home to a quiet, modern house in green Bunnik.
A family with 3 children (6, 8 and 11 years old) now lives in this house. We, Wilmar and Kim, both work in Utrecht. We know the city and the surrounding area well and can tell you all about it. We have a good relationship with many neighbors around us, they will also help you with everything if necessary.
We are real bon vivants and love good food and drinks, beautiful cities and beautiful nature. An exchange can be with the whole family, but possibly also with a part (e.g. father and son).
The space
The living room (11 meters long, 5 wide) is fully equipped. You can enjoy cooking in an open, extensive kitchen with high-quality items.
The seating area has a sofa, a lovely chill chair and a projector for your own home cinema. The Kawai (silent) piano is there to make music.
Nice weather? You can relax in the large garden (partly with grass). Children can play on the large trampoline or ramp.
Still working? That is also possible. There is high speed fiber optic internet with a Deco mesh router.
Children also have a great time: there are many toys in the children's rooms. Outside, the tree house awaits great adventures. The shed contains bicycles that will quickly take you to the city, straight through nature reserves Rhijnauwen and Amelisweerd.
There is also a large picnic bench in the garden. The Green Egg is ready for you to make the tastiest things.

People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
We are bon vivants. We often have a drink with a nice wine (winegrower around the corner) and snacks from the market. In the afternoon you can sit in the sun at the picnic table.
Having breakfast! On Fridays we often go to the market (1 min by bike) for fresh cheese, olives, nuts, bread and flowers. There are several farms nearby where you can get fresh fruit, meat, cheese and more. Local food is tasty, fresh and sustainable.
The green egg is there to be used. For example, making a delicious pizza!🍕
Our house is a 2-minute walk from the Kromme Rijn. You can enjoy a lovely walk along this river: towards Wijk bij Duurstede, or in the other direction to Utrecht. You will pass castles and country houses, cozy coffee shops, a pancake restaurant and of course beautiful Dutch nature. With a bit of luck, the kingfisher will show up.
Discover the Gothic cathedral in Utrecht, only 20 minutes by bike from our house. Take a tour of the church or go for the Domunder experience: a journey back to Roman times, underground. We are happy to help you with tips!
