Notes from the host
Premium Water 6P
Parc Maasresidence Thorn is a resort located in a beautiful area in the heart of Central Limburg, within walking distance of the charming white town of Thorn. From your villa or apartment, you can easily walk to the centrally located MRT Promenade. This building houses the reception, where they can help you with anything from sloop rental to hiking routes. In the same building, Humphrey's Thorn restaurant awaits guests with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, either inside or on their terrace. Furthermore, the MRT Promenade is home to the MRT Shop & Bakery, the Happy Benny Kids Club, and a large bowling alley.
Directly opposite the MRT Promenade lies the MRT Pool. It boasts a large main pool, kiddie pool, whirlpool, and a long slide. Beach chairs line the pools for guests to relax in and keep an eye on playing children.
The MRT Harbor is accessible to park guests for mooring both personal vessels or vessels rented at the park. From the MRT Harbor, you can cross the blue bridge towards the MRT Beach, a private beach suited for all manner of activities, including swimming, paddling, surfing, SUP-boarding, and even e-foiling. The Maasplassen lakes form the largest continuous water recreation area in the Netherlands, and the park is situated right on its shores! Besides the plethora of water-based activities, the natural landscape surrounding these lakes is truly unique. With a personal or rented bike/e-bike, it is possible to make a stunning journey through nature, and even across the Belgian border!
This detached holiday villa of approximately 125 m2, has a backyard that borders the water, just like every other 'Premium Water' villa.
This accommodation is a dream come true for fishing enthusiasts. You can cast a line whenever you want from your private jetty, and since the villa is right on the water, you're always just a few steps away from your next catch.
The villa itself has a spacious and bright living room with a sitting and dining area and a television with Chromecast. The luxurious open kitchen has a refrigerator with freezer, a 4-burner induction plate, a filter coffee maker & a capsule coffee machine, a kettle, a dishwasher, and a combi oven with a microwave.
The first floor has three bedrooms. All the bedrooms have two single box springs each, and one of the bedrooms includes an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a sink. The second bathroom has a sink, a walk-in shower, and a sauna. There is a safety gate for children atop the stairs.
There is a separate toilet on both the ground floor and the first floor. The indoor storage room has a washer-dryer combination.
Outside, there is a covered terrace with garden furniture, a private jetty on the water, and a beautiful view. There is space for two cars in the parking area next to the house, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa.
By indicating your preferences when booking, additional facilities can be arranged. For example, a terrace heater or a second terrace with sun loungers.
Every villa is equipped with one high chair and one baby bed, excluding linen. If an extra high chair or baby bed is required, this should be reserved in advance. This is based on availability and excluding linen.
Bed linen is standard provided. 1 set of bath towels (1 large, 1 small) is included per bed. In the kitchen, you can find a set of kitchen towels, and in the bathroom, there is a bathmat. Should you require additional linen or towels, you can indicate this in your reservation and add it to the booking.
The layout and style of the interior may differ from villa to villa.
Parc Maasresidence Thorn is a park in development. The park is currently undergoing the final phase of construction. We cannot completely rule out the possibility that, despite all our efforts to avoid this, there will be slight noise pollution from construction traffic and building activities from Mondays to Fridays.
For the most part, our guests will not notice this.
From Parc Maasresidence Thorn you can walk across the quaint blue bridge to reach the town of Thorn. This charming town, which used to be a tiny principality, is known for its striking white brick-and-mortar houses, monumental buildings, and authentic cobbled streets created with stones from the Maas. The town is different from any other Dutch town, yet fills any passer-by with a warm sense of familiarity. Feel free to take a leisurely stroll through the historical center in order to visit the little shops and enjoy the numerous cozy terraces with delicious regional specialties. In short: Thorn is well worth visiting!
The historic city of Roermond lies a mere 20 minutes by car away from Parc Maasresidence Thorn. This episcopal city has a beautiful, one-of-a-kind center with a bustling market square and sun-swept terraces that look out upon the imposing Saint Christopher's Cathedral and the town hall. Just a five-minute walk away from the center, you will find Designer Outlet Roermond, where no fewer than 185 shops and 25 catering establishments await. If you enjoy shopping, this place is a must-see! Another fun and relaxing activity is taking a cruise. It is the ideal way to experience how huge and vast the Maasplassen truly are. You can get on the boat in the city center of Roermond on the Roerkade. It is also possible to take the boat to Roermond directly from the resort, making a trip to this city even more fun!
During a holiday in Limburg, the city of Maastricht cannot be overlooked. This bustling provincial capital is home to all kinds of historical buildings, stately churches, museums, trendy design shops, food courts, and terraces. If you are not afraid of the dark and are in for an adventure, then go visit the impressive caves underneath the city. The restaurants of Maastricht are a true pallet-teaser. Indulge in their unique snack culture or savor the finer tastes of the Michelin Star restaurants. All in all, the old city of Maastricht is a must-see on any travel itinerary.
A day abroad? No problem! From the resort, you can easily walk to the Belgian border or visit cities such as Genk and the French-speaking Liège by car. Germany is also just around the corner. The famous church and bustling city center of Aachen, for example, are well within reach from the park. If you choose this route, take a look at the Drielandenpunt or make a pit stop at the town and castle ruins of Valkenburg.
GaiaZOO in Kerkrade is highly recommended for families with children. You will stand face-to-face with unique animal species such as red pandas, wolves, giraffes, and gorillas. If you would rather go for a day of immeasurable water fun, then go visit Fun Beach Panheel. This huge water theme park has a massive floating island with all kinds of exciting contraptions!
Tired of all the water fun? Then hop on a bike! You can enjoy cycling along the floodplains of the Maas, which are surrounded by the most beautiful of nature reserves. With the cycling way-marker network, you can easily plan your own route. Incidentally, this network fits in perfectly with the German and Belgian cycling networks as well. Why not go for a coffee in The Netherlands in the morning, have a nice Belgian beer in the afternoon, and end the day with a schnitzel in Germany?
Besides the lush waters of the Maasplassen, the mainland also has quite a lot to offer. Aerwinkel castle, built by famous architect Pierre Cuypers in 1854, for example, is a highly intriguing building, with architectural elements that can be found in the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam. Not only is the castle interesting, but the vast park surrounding it is also beautiful. In any case, there are plenty of hiking trails waiting to be explored. For a snack and drink, you can walk to the Gasterij which has a beautiful Burgundian backdrop. It is not a restaurant, but for a good lunch and a specialty beer (for example the local Aerwinkel beer) it will do just fine!
