...but a great place to live !

Noordeinde, in the Netherlands is the place where we live. It is a very small village as you can see on our homepage. It is part of the municipality Nieuwkoop. Nieuwkoop is a combination of the former municipalities: Nieuwkoop, Ter Aar and Liemeer. Liemeer existed only 15 for years and was a combination of Nieuwveen and Zevenhoven. In total there are about 27000 people living in Nieuwkoop in many small villages like ours. It is located in the middle of the Randstad the business part of Holland. But it is in the green hart, which means the green is more important than the buildings. Therefor it will not grow in the near future.

Noordeinde is a village with 7 streets, no shops, no restaurants, no bars, but some great people living here ;-)

How to find us.......

To Noordeinde or any other place?

The picture on our homepage shows it is not easy to find Noordeinde. With signpost pointing the wrong way and no distance stated.
But you can also approach from the other side and see this signpost.
It translates: left to Noordeinde, and straight for all other directions.

Does that mean we are in a somewhat strange place?
We let you decide .....

And if you found us, let us hope the sun is shining, so we can enjoy a drink and a bbq in our garden !

But please call ahead, because we travel a lot ,-)
