Do you live with different housemates under one roof, but hardly see them due to your busy schedules?! 

Come on, toss those busy schedules aside and make time for each other! Get out of the city together and create memories that will last a lifetime! A house weekend is more than just a getaway; it’s an experience that strengthens bonds, creates stories to laugh about years later, and offers moments that you will often relive.

House weekend; why?! 

In the daily hustle of college, work, or other commitments, it sometimes feels like everyone rushes from one appointment to the next and has no time for anything. This can lead to housemates living (unintentionally) side by side. And that’s why it’s important to set aside some time for each other! 

A house weekend provides the opportunity to relax together, laugh, and experience new adventures. A house weekend is an investment in the relationships within your home. Moreover, a house weekend brings new stories and experiences that form the basis for a closer bond. Whether it’s getting lost together in the forests of the Veluwe, enjoying your best beer ever in historic Prague, going mudflat hiking, dancing and surfing together, or constantly falling over while skiing, these moments become the building blocks of your shared history.

The best destinations selected for you!

Let yourself be enchanted by the Veluwe

The scent of the forest, the sound of rustling leaves, and a clear blue sky above your head (if the weather cooperates, of course). The Veluwe, an expansive nature reserve in Gelderland, provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable house weekend. Rent a cozy forest cabin and wake up in the middle of the forest. During the day, you can cycle through endless woods, spot wildlife, and enjoy picnics in the middle of nature.

In the evenings, after a day full of adventure, everyone gathers around the campfire. The crackling wood, the smell of roasted marshmallows, and stories that become stronger with each round create an intimate atmosphere. Here, in the quiet of the Veluwe, the worries of everyday life disappear, and there is space for genuine conversations and deep connections.

The historic Prague

Surrounded by beautiful architecture and rich history, your exploration begins at Prague Castle. Walk across the famous Charles Bridge to the old town and find yourself in deep conversations as you stroll. Explore the old underground tunnels and then taste the local culture with a beer tasting at one of the many traditional Czech pubs. With its often cheap last-minute flights, Prague provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable house weekend! 

In the evenings, Prague transforms into a vibrant city with a bustling nightlife. Dance the night away together in one of the famous nightclubs or enjoy a relaxing evening in a jazz club and get to know each other even better over a cocktail. 

Blow away on the Dutch Islands

You really don't have to travel far from home to experience a true holiday feeling! The expansive beaches, dunes, and forests on the Dutch islands provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature together! From cycling, walking, and water sports to visiting various cafés and restaurants. A friendly atmosphere with activities for everyone. Stay in a holiday home, apartment, or go camping! Cooking together, playing board games, or playing tennis on the beach - you will really get to know each other this way! Don’t forget to bring your camera!

Surfing and so much more at the best surf festival in the Netherlands 

Dancing together with a beer in your hand, then grabbing your surfboards and diving into the sea to catch the best waves? A combination of surfing, music, and camping. Who wouldn’t want that? Stay with your housemates in Bloemendaal aan zee from September 6th to 8th for the best (and only) surf festival in the Netherlands; Surfana! 

Surf-minded people from all over the world come to this festival for a unique blend of music, workshops, art, love, and of course, surfing. It’s a weekend full of different bands, tasty food, and camping in a beautiful dune-rich environment. 

Did you know that with Potje you can already start saving for this festival? This is an incredibly handy way to easily make this house weekend a reality with your housemates; it gives you immediate support. By saving together, you also take away the pressure of the financial burden, and the amount will feel less significant. 

A weekend of skiing or snowboarding in Willingen

Load the car, download some great beats, and off you go! After a fun drive full of deep conversations, sing-alongs, and tasty snacks, you arrive at your destination.

You are greeted by the fresh mountain air, a winter paradise, a cozy vacation home perfectly located close to the slopes. A weekend of skiing, snowboarding, and hiking in the beautiful nature of Germany is on the agenda. A break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, an evening beer at the après-ski, and then cooking together and ending the evening with board games. Creating memories for a lifetime.
