The main differences are size, location and check-in. Wellness is a couples’ chalet for 2 guests at Resort De Hooge Veluwe (Arnhem/Schaarsbergen, Veluwe), while Family Wellness sleeps up to 5 in Hattemerbroek near Zwolle and is the only Maridu home with contactless self check-in. Both have a sauna, a hot tub, a private garden and a swimming pool, and both are single-floor. Pets are welcome at both (with a fee and prior written consent).
Capacity and layout
The clearest distinction is how many people each home suits.
- Wellness: 2 guests, 1 bedroom, 1 bed, 1 bathroom. A stylish wellness chalet (built in 2021) set up as a hotel-style suite for two.
- Family Wellness: 5 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 beds, 1 bathroom. A wellness chalet with room for a small family or group.
If you are travelling as a couple, Wellness is built around two people. For a family or a few friends, Family Wellness offers the extra bedroom and higher capacity. Both homes are single-floor, and Family Wellness is also step-free, which helps if anyone in your party has limited mobility.
Localisation
The two homes sit in different parts of the Netherlands.
- Wellness: Arnhem, at Resort De Hooge Veluwe (Koningsweg 14, Schaarsbergen entrance), in the Veluwe region.
- Family Wellness: Hattemerbroek (Vogelzangveldweg 23), near Zwolle.
Both are in the Netherlands but not in the same area, so your choice also depends on where you want to stay. Wellness places you on the Veluwe, while Family Wellness is closer to Zwolle.
Enregistrement
Check-in and check-out times are the same at both homes: arrival between 15:00 and 23:00, departure by 10:00, with a minimum stay of 2 nights. The difference is how you get in.
