The location is unbeatable. We walked to dinner every night and were in the water two minutes after waking up.

Spotless apartment, great WiFi, and that view. I worked from the balcony for three weeks and never wanted to leave.

Frequently asked questions

Is there parking?

Yes — free private parking is available on site for all guests, including if you rent a car through us.

How far is the airport?

Flamingo International Airport (BON) is roughly an 8-minute drive. We can arrange an airport transfer, or have your rental car waiting.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00. We're flexible where the calendar allows — just ask, and late check-out can often be arranged.

Are there dive shops nearby?

Several, all within a short walk. There's a well-known shore dive entry directly across the road, and we work with trusted local dive operators for tanks, courses and boat trips.

Is the kitchen fully equipped?

Yes — hob, refrigerator, coffee machine, cookware, crockery and cutlery, plus a dining area. Supermarkets are a five-minute walk, or add a grocery package so the fridge is stocked when you arrive.

How fast is the WiFi?

High-speed fibre throughout the building — comfortable for video calls and remote work. Many of our guests work from the apartment for weeks at a time.

Are towels and linen provided?

Bed linen, bathroom towels, and beach/pool towels are provided as standard in the rooms.

Is there a swimming pool?

Yes — a shared swimming pool set in a tropical garden, with loungers and afternoon shade.

Are there restaurants within walking distance?

Plenty. You're in the heart of Kralendijk, so restaurants, cafés, bars and shops are all a two to five minute walk away.

Do I need a rental car?

Not for town — everything downtown is walkable. For the national park, southern salt flats and remote dive sites, a car makes a real difference. We offer one as an optional extra.
