Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along

There are few things more peaceful than a harbour view and this apartment's position ten metres from Ouddorp's marina on Lake Grevelingen only backs this up. Thankfully, the home has its very own terrace complete with an alfresco table from which to enjoy this peaceful panorama, but the scenery is no less pleasant when gazed at through the glass door that takes up one side of the open-concept living-kitchen area. Although this is a home that encourages you to look away, the design inside rewards closer inspection, too. There are contemporary flourishes wherever you look, from the sleek surfaces in the kitchen and the colourful artworks adorning the white walls to the handsome wooden furnishings. When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, Ouddorp beach is only twenty minutes' walk away, while guests can also access the facilities and activities of the neighbouring Center Parcs Port Zealand complex. The centre of Rotterdam is only an hour away by car in case you fancy a day trip. Home truths: *There's parking available, although you need to arrange with the harbour master beforehand *Although the home is spread over two floors, there's a bedroom and ensuite on the ground level
