Auberge de Smockelaer

The Smockelaer is located in an authentic Limburg carré farm and is a wonderfully unique event 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 luxurious bedrooms. (And at our second location just 2 km away, there are another 12 very luxurious rooms, making a total of accommodations for up to 92 people).

You are interested in a meeting location, training venue or you are looking for a location 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 frame made with oak wood, cement, sand, straw, and ingredients I better not mention, but are widely available, exudes peace, honesty, and warmth. The inside now looks completely different from the original. Where tractors and cows used to stand, there is now room 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 have undergone such a transformation that you might want to take one home.
However, I saved the best for last: the fantastic view over The Plateau of Heijenrath, on top of the Alp d'Huez of the Netherlands.
I hope you come to see it and taste the atmosphere along with a piece of our homemade Limburgian pie.

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

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