A business meeting, a group dinner or a party with family or colleagues. At d'Olde Smidse we arrange everything from start to finish, with the personal attention of a family business.
Whether you are coming for a day of meetings, planning a group dinner or staying overnight with the whole team: d'Olde Smidse has everything in one central location in the heart of Giethoorn. No juggling multiple venues, just one point of contact who thinks along with you.
We are a true family business. You will notice that in the personal attention, the short lines of communication and the flexibility. We are happy to tailor everything to your needs, from the room layout to the menu, so your event is exactly as you envision it.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will create a great programme together.
A quiet location for a meeting, training or team day, within walking distance of the water. We provide coffee, tea and refreshments, a simple lunch and, if the day runs longer, dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel. Combine work and relaxation in a laid-back way.
A group dinner out in Giethoorn. From a birthday or anniversary to dinner with colleagues or a club. We help put together a suitable menu, from a set multi-course menu to a relaxed buffet, tailored to your group and wishes.
Is your group staying for a night or a weekend? We will put together a group arrangement including overnight stay, breakfast and dinner, optionally supplemented with a canal tour or bike ride through the National Park. A complete programme, without you having to puzzle it all out.
A party, reception or family gathering. We are happy to discuss the options for your group: the space, the decor, snacks and drinks and the timing. All in the relaxed, warm atmosphere that belongs to d'Olde Smidse.
Spacious, free parking on our own grounds. Your guests arrive relaxed, without searching or paid parking.
In the heart of Giethoorn, right on the water. Easy to reach, with the most beautiful spots in the village within walking distance.
Meetings, dining and overnight stays in one place. No juggling multiple venues, one point of contact for everything.
As a family business we think along with you and handle the custom work. Short lines, flexible and genuinely hospitable.
