By balu, you have the best of both worlds and don’t have to compromise Using natural materials, warm fabrics and earth tones, Balu exudes tranquillity with room to enjoy. With an eye for detail and safety, everything is finished and all the little tricks have been thought of.

Curious twin family. We love travelling, discovering new places and quality time with the family. During our travels, we often said ‘how we would do it’ until we decided to do it. If the children are happy, so are we. But the other way around is equally true, when parents relax, so do children. Danique is the engine behind the family and Balu. Her passion for unburdening and entrepreneurship benefits the guests’ stay. She has an instinct for great places and regularly discovers new hotspots.

Balu is located in the middle of the Netherlands, near the Soesterduinen with lots of nature. Yet Soest has a cosy centre and cities such as Amersfoort, Utrecht and Amsterdam are within easy reach. There are no fewer than three railway stations in Soest and various arterial roads. Want tips for outings in the area? Ask Danique, she knows the unique places like no other.
