Welcome

You are at the website of ‘het Pelikaantje’, a comfortable semi-detached holiday cottage for two in a quiet Dutch village in the Utrecht region.

Werkhoven is at the crossroads of two major tourist areas: ‘de Utrechtse Heuvelrug’ and ‘de Krommerijnstreek’. The village also belongs to the so-called backyard of the historical city of Utrecht. Viking town Wijk bij Duurstede, the ‘Langbroekerdijk’ with its monumental farmhouses, and the fruit orchards in spring invite you to make delightful tours on your bike. And let us not forget about all the other sights in the most beautiful region of the Netherlands!

Because of its central location in the Netherlands you are only a short distance away by car or public transport from cities such as Amsterdam, The Hague, Delft or ‘s Hertogenbosch.

‘Het Pelikaantje’ is an ideal base for hikers and bikers, easily reachable by public transport and it has its own parking space for one car. You may stay for a couple of days or a few weeks the whole year round.
