Location
The Grutte Fiif (or Big Five) Safari Lodge is a sturdy and attractive glamping tent with air conditioning. The lodge is located in a beautiful green spot at the Yn 'e Lijte camping and holiday park (NL: in de lee). Accessible by bridge or bicycle ferry from the pleasant water sports village of Grou. Inside, the tent is fully equipped. A bathroom with shower and toilet (no toilet roll under the arm!), comfortable mattresses and a fully-fledged kitchen. You can also cook outside on the covered veranda or use the special pancake maker. You can also read a nice book, relax or have a drink from this spot on the lounge set. In the sheltered private backyard (unique with this tent!) there is also a seating area, a dining set, Weber charcoal barbecue and a very nice sandbox house.

Zeer mooie accommodatie en locatie,voor de herhaling vatbaar.

Introduction
We (Janny and Ivo) are both self-employed and enthusiastic water sports enthusiasts. We are both originally from Rotterdam. After working and living in Brabant for a number of years, we have lived in the province of Groningen since 1998. Friesland has been our favorite sailing area for over 15 years. The super cozy Grou in particular was always a place to go by boat for a few days. Since 2021 we have even permanently moored in Grou by boat and we have also come to appreciate Friesland by bike. Because of that 'love' for Friesland and Grou, we looked for a nice recreational spot for 'later'. That is why we placed the Reed Heron on Yn'e Lijte in 2021. Due to the enthusiastic responses to the rental, the Grutte Fiif Safari Lodge followed in 2023 and the Ral Heron was added in 2024. We hope that you will be (or already are?) just as enthusiastic about Friesland and Grou!
Tips from the host
The Grutte Fiif Safarilodge is located near the bicycle ferry to Grou. This ferry sails (from about April to mid-October) in a few minutes to the center of the village. The ferry is also part of the beautiful cycling route '8 van Grou' that you can cycle in 1 or more days from the Grutte Fiif.
