We had a wonderful week in Overmere! The house is well equipped and super cosy - we felt at home from the moment we arrived. Our children loved the chickens, the garden and the small park directly opposite. :-) Overmere is ideally located for visiting Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels. Eline and Pieter also provided us with lots of helpful information about nice walking and cycling tours, restaurants and other places to visit in the area. We were able to enjoy a varied holiday with many highlights. We are very grateful for the uncomplicated and cordial communication! Everything at home was also in perfect condition when we returned. We can only warmly recommend the exchange with the Vermeiren family!
Super sød familie, og et fantastisk hjem at besøge. Pieter og familie er søde og hjælpsomme, og havde mange gode forslag til ting at gøre og se i deres lokalområde og Belgien i det hele taget. Pieter er super at kommunikere med, og oplevelsen overgik vores forventninger på en meget god måde. Kan klart anbefale andre at lave en aftale med dem.
Very nice and friendly family! We were very pleased with this exchange and the lovely time in Overmeere! thanks a lot
Home was as presented. Village of Overmere has got a really nice small "resort" with beach for swimming and another lake for small boats and birds. We spent a lot of time swimming. Location in Flanders is quite central, so You can easily visit for example Gent, Brugge, Antwerp and Brussels. We also did some trips to the French speaking Wallonia side. We got very good "tourist guide" from the family with tips for trips and about how everything works. The Molenstraat street is quite busy (from a rather peripheral finnish suburban perspective), but the garden is very safe with good fences all around. Our kids were about the same age, so it was very practical to be able to use bikes, safety seats for car etc. Family has got a high standard of clean, we got our house back very clean and everything ok.

Hi! We love to go for a walk or drive our bikes on quiet paths in nature. We have chickens in the garden and grow some vegetables and fruit.
At the holiday home, we have fruit trees and some small fruits. Feel free to eat what you find. We live in a low carbon house and treat our stuff with a lot of respect and will do likewise with yours :-)
Our kids love to eat, make walks in nature, swim, play boardgames and play outside.
