Auberge de Smockelaer

The Smockelaer is located in an authentic Limburg square farm and is a wonderfully unique events venue.

At the top of one of the most beautiful hills in South Limburg, surrounded by the Roebelsbos and Slenaken, lies the Smockelaer. The farm houses several conference rooms, a restaurant, and 22 luxury bedrooms. (and at our 2nd location 2 km away, another 12 very luxurious rooms, making a total of 92 overnight stays possible).

You are interested in a meeting location, training location, or you are looking for a venue for an event. Below you will find the reasons why ‘t Vakwerkhuys of the Smockelaer would be your choice.

Let yourself be inspired by our Vakwerk
An authentic timber-framed barn is the shell of our new location. The timber framing made with oak wood, cement, sand, straw, and ingredients I better not mention, but are widely available, exudes calmness, honesty, and warmth. The interior no longer resembles the original from a distance. Where tractors and cows once stood, there is now space for a beautiful wooden floor, a coffee corner, lamps inspired by the old gas lamps of yesteryear, and chairs that Churchill once sat on, but which have undergone such a transformation that you might want to take one home.
However, the best I have saved for last is the fantastic view over Het Plateau van Heijenrath, the highest point of the Alp d'Huez of the Netherlands.
I hope you come to see and taste the atmosphere and a piece of our homemade Limburgian pie.

The size of the conference room(s) is always adjusted to the group size, so the conference room is never too big or too small. Of course, you can use facilities such as a beamer, audio system, etc. The apartments are equipped with a shared living room with terrace. The bedrooms have their own bathroom, box spring beds, TV, and internet connection.

The inn has organized various activities for both active and less active groups. For example, a cooking clinic, fort adventure, or archery course can be arranged.
