For grandparents travelling with grandchildren, the Holiday Homes Maridu properties with separate bedrooms and room for the group are Ayla, Family L-Cube, Family Wellness, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube; Wellness sleeps only two, so it suits grandparents travelling as a couple rather than with children. The best match depends on group size, how many bedrooms you need and whether a step-free layout matters. If you want the most space and the easiest access, Family Wellness (5 guests, single-level and step-free) and Family L-Cube (6 guests, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms) are the strongest choices. Always confirm the exact bed setup for young children on the accommodation page before booking.
Matching the home to your group
Group size and the number of bedrooms are the first things to check. The guest and room counts are:
- Family L-Cube (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem / Schaarsbergen): 6 guests, 3 bedrooms, 6 beds, 2 bathrooms. The largest here, with the most bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Family Wellness (Hattemerbroek, near Zwolle): 5 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 beds, 1 bathroom. Single-level and step-free.
- Ayla (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem / Schaarsbergen): 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 3 beds, 1 bathroom. Modern detached chalet in the forest.
- Tiny Cube (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem / Schaarsbergen): 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 4 beds, 1 bathroom. Tiny house with a sleeping loft.
- Forest Cube (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem / Schaarsbergen): 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 4 beds, 1 bathroom. Tiny house with a sleeping loft; the same concept as Tiny Cube.
- Wellness (Resort De Hooge Veluwe, Arnhem / Schaarsbergen): 2 guests, 1 bedroom, 1 bed, 1 bathroom. A couples suite, so not suited to travelling with grandchildren.
For a larger family group, Family L-Cube offers the most bedrooms and bathrooms. Family Wellness is a strong second, with space for five and a single-level layout. Note that five of these homes (Ayla, Family L-Cube, Tiny Cube, Forest Cube and Wellness) are at Resort De Hooge Veluwe on Koningsweg 14 in Arnhem / Schaarsbergen, so they share the same location; only Family Wellness sits separately in Hattemerbroek near Zwolle.
Step-free access and stairs
If anyone in the group prefers to avoid stairs, this is the most important factor. Family Wellness and Wellness are the only two single-level homes; Family Wellness is also explicitly step-free (threshold-free). The others are not single-level. Tiny Cube and Forest Cube in particular have a sleeping loft reached by stairs, which is worth keeping in mind for older guests or very young children.
- Single-level: Family Wellness and Wellness.
- Step-free (threshold-free): Family Wellness.
- Loft bedroom reached by stairs: Tiny Cube and Forest Cube.
Facilities for young children
High chairs and cots or travel cots make a real difference when grandchildren are small. Availability per home is:
- Ayla: no high chair and no cot listed.
- Family L-Cube: high chair and travel cot available.
- Family Wellness: high chair and travel cot available.
- Tiny Cube: high chair, cot and travel cot available.
- Forest Cube: high chair and travel cot available.
- Wellness: high chair, cot and travel cot available (a two-guest suite, so best for a couple).
If a high chair or cot is essential, Family Wellness, Family L-Cube, Tiny Cube and Forest Cube all list one. Confirm the exact bed setup and how many children the layout comfortably sleeps on the accommodation page before you book.
Wellness, pool and outdoor space
All six of these homes have a garden. Because five of them sit at Resort De Hooge Veluwe, they also share access to the resort swimming pool, which is popular with children. Extras vary by home:
- Resort swimming pool: Ayla, Family L-Cube, Tiny Cube, Forest Cube and Wellness (all at Resort De Hooge Veluwe), plus Family Wellness, which has its own pool.
- Hot tub: Ayla, Family Wellness, Tiny Cube, Forest Cube and Wellness. Tiny Cube and Forest Cube share a wood-fired hot tub. Not available at Family L-Cube.
- Sauna: Family L-Cube, Family Wellness and Wellness. Not available at Ayla, Tiny Cube or Forest Cube.
- Fire pit: Tiny Cube, Forest Cube and Wellness. Not available at Ayla, Family L-Cube or Family Wellness.
