Advice · groups of around 40
A group of 40:
what is possible?
First, the honest answer: Orvelter Hof sleeps a maximum of 36 people. If you are looking for group accommodation for 40 people who will all stay the night, it will not fit. But some groups of 'about forty' turn out, on closer inspection, to be smaller, or to be made up of some people who stay overnight and some who come for the day.

Count precisely first
Anyone looking for group accommodation tends to round the group up. Forty sounds tidy, but when you count it out it is sometimes 34 to 38 people, or a group in which not everyone stays every night.
That difference decides whether a house with 36 beds will work. So go through these questions before you start looking.
- Who is staying overnight, and who is only coming for the day?
- How many children are coming, and how old are they?
- Are partners coming, or only for part of the time?
- Is everyone there every night, or does the group change?
Three ways to split a group of around 40
If your group does turn out to be larger than 36, there are three solutions. Which one fits depends on how many people are involved.
- 01
36 stay overnight, the rest come for the day
Sometimes the group is larger by day than by night: a few relatives come only for the party, or colleagues join for the day. The large hall seats 36 people at long tables. Give us a call with the number of people coming only for the day, and we will see what is possible.
- 02
A few people sleep nearby
If it is a few people over 36, a second address close by can be the answer. A few hundred metres away, for example, is the Landal Orveltermarke holiday park. Everyone then eats and celebrates together at Orvelter Hof, and a few guests walk back to their own holiday cottage in the evening.
- 03
Choose a larger house
If all forty want to stay overnight, Orvelter Hof is not the right place. Look instead for accommodation with more beds. That is more honest than trying to squeeze everyone in, and it avoids disappointment on arrival.
What to look out for with 36 people
If your group fits within 36, these are the practical points to know in advance.
- Beds
- 17 twin rooms with private bathrooms. Four rooms on the ground floor can also be used as family rooms; together that brings the house to 36 beds.
- At the table
- In the large hall, 36 people sit at long tables, or 30 at round tables.
- Parking
- Thirty free parking spaces right by the house. If you share cars, a group of 36 has plenty of room.
- Cost per person
- You pay rent for the whole house, plus bed linen, energy and tourist tax per person. The more people, the lower the amount per person.
What 36 people pay
Alongside is a two-night low-season weekend in 2027 for 36 people, with all compulsory costs included. That is the lowest price per person the house offers.
