About

De Helleborus is a gentle gem on the outskirts of Groningen, located in the village of Engelbert. As an eco-hostel and permaculture centre, we are passionate about sustainability, green living and a connection with nature. Our food forest bursts with different colours, changing with the seasons, while cats roam freely among the trees. In low-season, we offer beds in our shared dorm room inside the house, while in summer you can stay in a ready made tent, caravan or yurt, peacefully nestled in the forest! We have a few lovely spaces to sit by a campfire and play your guitar, as well as a wood fired hot tub, bicycle rentals and a beautiful outside kitchen in the forest.

Honestly a super cute little hostel slightly out of town but easy to get to/from town with a bus. Went during off season so got to stay in the house. It was warm, the guy working was super friendly. They had capacity to make simple meals. Would stay again
