About us

Introducing

On Oct. 1, 2024, Judith de Bruijn and Paul Wijk moved to BuitenWedde. Judith takes care of the business at BuitenWedde. She does yoga daily and you may be invited to join a class in the garden on a sunny day.

At BuitenWedde, Paul is responsible for garden work and keeping the apartments and campsite clean. Paul is a captain and was born and raised in Groningen.

As hosts, we enjoy to welcome and meet you personally. We also want to make the grounds of BuitenWedde a hospitable place for birds, plants and insects. We are therefore engaged in nature management, planting Groningen stinze plants and creating a flower garden. In this way we can make a small contribution to biodiversity in Westerwolde.

From sea to solid ground

We worked on our clipper the Nova Cura until October 2024. With this beauty from 1905 we organized sailing trips on the Wadden Sea. The Nova Cura is now in Groningen as a B&B ship at the Hoge der A and is for sale. Paul was the skipper and Judith the sailor and the cook. We greatly enjoyed this period in which we were so often allowed to spend time in the middle of the Wadden nature. Time and again we saw how good it did our guests to get away from the shore, the clock and the general burden of modern life. Our plan was always to settle down in the country side after this period, so we are very grateful that dreams have come true at BuitenWedde. Here we will continue to receive and pamper vacationers, but with solid ground under our feet. We hope that here too the beautiful surroundings will bring our guests to rest in the rhythm of nature.
