Shepherd’s huts and lodge tents in Mill, North Brabant (NL)
A unique stay in Brabant, between woods, fields and sheep
Get away from it all. At De Nieuwenhof, in the countryside of Mill in the Land van Cuijk region, you sleep in a wooden shepherd’s hut on stilts or go glamping in a spacious lodge tent. Right in the Brabant countryside, with woods behind the grounds, deer in the fields and a campfire in the evening. A natural alternative to a B&B or holiday cottage, for a weekend away or a longer holiday.
Sleep in a box bed above the sheep, with a pellet stove and your own heated bathroom. Bookable all year round.
Camping with real beds, a kitchen and a clawfoot bath. Bookable from April to October.

Two shepherd’s huts, De Rode Berk and De Witte Berk, and two lodge tents. Each has its own character, but all of them are quiet, spacious and close to nature.

Memories around
the campfire
Explore the area
A campfire invites you to stay a while. As the fire burns and evening falls, a moment of calm and togetherness comes naturally. Bread on a stick, vegetables in foil or a simple meal over the flames: for many guests it is the best moment of their stay.
“Waking up to the soft bleating of sheep under your window and the smell of fresh coffee on the fire.”
Our sheep truly belong to De Nieuwenhof. They wander calmly around and under the huts and are part of everyday life on the grounds. They give De Nieuwenhof a rural, authentic character: lively, yet relaxed.
The chickens roam freely too, and deer regularly cross the field next to the grounds.
A warm place in winter, too
When the huts are covered in a layer of snow, the atmosphere is special. The landscape comes to rest and the silence makes your stay extra relaxing. Outside, the crisp winter air clears your head; inside, the pellet stove is burning. The shepherd’s huts can be booked all year round.
