ANNA Biesbosch is off grid and therefore a septic tank is used. We would therefore like to ask you to only use the products that are in the cabin. These do not harm the septic tank.

Do you also have to heat the water with the stove in De Biesbosch in summer?

In the summer you don't have to use the stove to get hot water in ANNA Biesbosch. In the kitchen next to the thermometer you will find two white buttons. If you press the top white button the boiler heats the water with the electricity, which is generated by the solar panels.

Is a stay in ANNA not too cold during the winter?

During the winter period, ANNA and the Maashorst are a magical combination, but the experience isn’t suitable for everyone. During cold winter days it’s possible to heat up the indoor temperature to around 20°C. In wintertime we have extra warm blankets, but the cold remains part of the experience during a winter stay. Are you an adventurous person and would you like to start the day with lighting up a fire, then a wintery stay would be perfect for you!
