Comfort and diverse sleeping options
The `bewithbalance home` De Heide is more than just accommodation: it is a retreat that combines thoughtful design and comfort in perfect harmony. Every room of this unique home has been designed with the utmost care to offer you an unparalleled experience.
Inviting living area and modern kitchen
When you enter the main building of the guest house, you will immediately be impressed by the spacious living and kitchen area. The open design and elegant furnishings make this room the ideal place for socializing. The kitchen is fully equipped and offers a large island that serves both for meal preparation and as a central meeting point for conversations. The living area, furnished with comfortable furniture and flooded with natural light, invites you to relax.
A variety of sleeping options – an oasis of peace
The bedrooms in the `bewithbalance home` ensure maximum sleeping comfort. Each room is equipped with a comfortable double bed, which ensures a restful sleep thanks to its high-quality mattress and pleasant bed linen. The rooms are designed in warm, calming colors that immediately provide relaxation.
In the main house there are further exclusive facilities that make your stay even more pleasant. A separate billiards room with a fireplace offers entertainment for sociable evenings, while the wellness area promises pure relaxation. This area includes a large sauna, refreshing showers, a revitalizing foot bath and an outdoor whirlpool that can be used both during the day and evening for relaxing hours.
For guests looking for a particularly exclusive experience, the penthouse on the roof of the main house is available. This private suite comes with a private infrared sauna and offers a balcony with a separate hot tub with a view. Here you can end the day in complete peace while enjoying the fresh air and relaxation.
Particularly noteworthy are the two stylish lodges, which offer a romantic glamping experience. Here you can experience the feeling of camping, but with all the amenities you want. Each lodge is equipped with a real bed, a cozy bathroom with a bathtub, a separate toilet, a small kitchen and a charming wood stove that provides cozy warmth in the cooler months.
The "White Lodge" impresses with its bright furnishings, which creates a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The "Red Lodge", on the other hand, has a more rustic and powerful design, with striking red accents that give the room a unique character. These lodges offer a perfect combination of romance, comfort and a touch of adventure - ideal for couples looking for a special stay.
The well-insulated safari lodge is a cozy wooden house that immediately makes you feel at home. The spacious lodge has three comfortable bedrooms designed with natural materials. One room is equipped with a double bed, another has three single beds, and the third room has four beds arranged as bunk beds, ideal for use as a dormitory. The large kitchen-living room with dining table invites you to have tea and snacks together, while the cozy seating area with pellet fireplace ensures cozy evenings.
The house also offers a separate toilet and a bathroom with a large shower and a bathtub - ideal for relaxing after a day in nature.
The safari lodge looks out over the animal pasture and is reminiscent of the lodges in Africa, Canada or Alaska, where the vastness and wilderness are palpable. Although the animal pasture is inhabited by peaceful chickens, sheep and pot-bellied pigs, the atmosphere of the lodge conveys a sense of adventure and wanderlust.
A well thought-out living concept for the highest demands
At De Heide, every aspect has been carefully thought out to provide maximum comfort. The entire accommodation reflects a philosophy that values quality, aesthetics and functionality. From the spacious living room to the diverse bedrooms to the romantic camping and the inviting safari lodge - everything has been designed to make you feel completely comfortable.

Lydia Devamurti
Yoga has been one of the longest and strongest relationships in my life. It has been with me through the ups and downs of daily life and the intensity of my health disorder. Yoga has inspired me and helped me rediscover a more balanced lifestyle. I have experienced pretty much every emotion on the mat-crying, sweating, screaming, laughing. It has been my friend, my confidant and spiritual healer-it has changed my life! I am certified in teaching traditional Hatha & Yin Yoga. I love to keep the classical approach to yoga alive by incorporating asana, pranayama and meditation into each session.
