Things to do nearby
The TinyWhitehouse is located in the “De Millingerwaard” nature reserve. Here, you can bike, hike, swim, go birdwatching, and enjoy a delicious refreshment at "The Millinger Thee Garden".
From the little church in Kekerdom, it’s about a 2.5-km walk through the Millingerwaard to the exotic spot “De Millinger Theetuin.” Here you can enjoy a refreshing drink, a delicious lunch, or an after-dinner drink and be inspired by the beautiful garden, which is definitely worth a visit.
When you leave the cottage and turn left after the white gate, you can cross the dike on the left and, within a few minutes, walk straight out onto the Millingerwaard and down to the small beach. Would you like to take a longer walk to our personal favorite? Then follow this route on Komoot
Looking for a short bike ride or walk that ends with a tasty treat? Stop by Clevers to enjoy their delicious artisanal ice cream or order a coffee and a pastry! Definitely worth a visit!
Nestled between the ridge and the Waal River lies the cozy café/restaurant Oortjeshekken, right in the heart of the “De Gelderse Poort” nature reserve. Right across the dike, you can start your walk or go for a swim in the natural waters of Bisonbaai.
It’s a 10-minute walk from the cottage to the De Hazelaarshof campground. A great spot for a casual getaway, where kids can play in the sandbox and zoom around on go-karts, while you pick up some last-minute fresh vegetables or snacks at their farm store or enjoy a refreshing drink or ice cream on their sunny terrace.
Just a few minutes' walk away is the Kekerdom bus stop, which takes you to Nijmegen, among other places—perfect for a day trip without a car.
Wider area
- Nijmegen; Nijmegen is a great choice for a day trip from Kekerdom. The Netherlands’ oldest city has something for everyone. If you enjoy sightseeing, the Stevenskerk, Kronenburgerpark, the Waalkade, and the cultural hub “De Vasim” are great places to start. In the mood for shopping? The city center has a wide variety of chain stores and charming boutiques. Be sure not to skip the long Hezelstraat—the oldest shopping street in the Netherlands. Via this link from “Walk of the Town,” you’ll find a free walking tour through this beautiful city.
- Tired of all the sightseeing and shopping? At Beachbar Baiana, you can lounge on a beach chair with a parasol on a lovely little beach, enjoy their delicious selection of drinks, or have lunch or treat yourself to one of their homemade sweets. We personally prefer to wrap up a day in Nijmegen with a delicious meal at Bar Cali or Café de Plak. Looking for something a little more upscale? Check out De Portier or the Michelin-starred restaurant De Nieuwe Winkel to see what they have to offer.
- The nearest supermarkets, Albert Heijn and Aldi, are located in Millingen aan de Rijn.
- De Oude Haven; For ordering “a quick order of fries or pizza” (they also deliver!).
