Holiday home for 24
Twenty-four people, two kinds of group
Ruurd Doorten
Owner, Orvelter Hof
You usually look for a holiday home for 24 people for one of two reasons: a weekend with a large group of friends, or a weekend with the whole family. Orvelter Hof, a converted Drenthe farmhouse in Witteveen for up to 36 people, works for both.
You sleep in twelve twin rooms, each with its own toilet, shower and washbasin, and have five to spare. The dining hall, the bar with draught system, the kitchen, the games attic and the garden are yours. There are no other guests.
For friends, what counts is the bar with no closing time; for families, the playground and the rooms without stairs. Below you can see how to divide the rooms and what a long weekend for 24 people costs.
Layout
Twelve rooms, five to spare
With 24 people you use twelve of the seventeen rooms. Two layouts suggest themselves.
11 upstairs · 1 downstairs
Everyone upstairs
Eleven rooms on the first floor and one downstairs. Handy for a group of friends: whoever goes to bed late sleeps downstairs.
6 downstairs · 6 upstairs
Families downstairs
All six ground-floor rooms for the families with children or the grandparents, close to the playground. Zwigelte has adapted, wheelchair-accessible bathroom facilities.
You choose which
Five rooms to spare
Five rooms on the first floor stay empty. One as a quiet retreat, one for the luggage, or space for anyone who joins a day later.
Every room has box spring beds and its own toilet, shower and washbasin. The beds are made up when you arrive.

One house, two ways to use it
A group of friends and a family look for different things in a holiday home. With 24 people you have both.
- 01
Bar with draught system
A bar of your own with no closing time. A 20-litre keg can be added for € 110, and you are welcome to bring your own drinks.
- 02
Games attic
Table tennis, games and bean bags. For the children, or for a tournament after dinner.
- 03
South-facing terrace
With a barbecue (€ 35 for gas and cleaning) and picnic tables on the grass.
- 04
Pitch & putt
Eighteen holes a few hundred metres' walk away, even for those who have never played golf.
