Welcome to Holiday Homes Maridu
Holiday Homes Maridu was born from family, memories and a deep love for places where you can truly unwind. The name Maridu is no coincidence. It is derived from our mother’s name Marianne and our family name Duifhuizen. In this way, every home carries a piece of our origin and our story.
Our family adventure began in 1999 with a single holiday home in the Czech Republic. What started as a place for our own holidays soon became a home where others felt welcome too. Over the years, beautiful memories were made, guests returned and a strong bond with the surroundings grew. Not only for our family, but for everyone who stayed there.
Between 2021 and 2023, we Tim and Dominique took over the management. With respect for what was built and with an eye on the future, we shaped Holiday Homes Maridu into what it is today. Our homes stand for atmosphere, comfort and personal attention. No anonymous accommodation, but places where you can slow down and where every day feels like a relaxed Sunday.
Our connection with the Czech Republic spans more than twenty years. We know the country, its culture and its landscapes well. On site, you will be welcomed by Karolina, our dedicated and multilingual host. Together with our digital team, she ensures a smooth experience from booking to departure.
In the Netherlands, we also offer holiday homes in Arnhem and Hattemerbroek. Both locations are set in green surroundings and form an ideal base for nature lovers, peace seekers and guests wishing to explore the Veluwe region.
Each Holiday Homes Maridu property is personally curated and carefully maintained by us. With attention to detail, feeling and experience. You are not just renting a house, but a place to create memories.
You are very welcome.
Kind holiday regards
Dominique and Tim Duifhuizen

Neighborhood info
Step straight from the accommodation into the landscape of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. This unique nature reserve invites you to explore on foot or by using the famous White Bicycles, which are freely available. You can effortlessly cycle through heathlands, forests and drifting sand areas where space and tranquillity dominate. In the heart of the park lies the Kröller Müller Museum, home to a world renowned Van Gogh collection and an impressive sculpture garden where art and nature blend seamlessly.
Families will also find plenty to enjoy nearby. Burgers’ Zoo is a favourite for all ages, offering immersive areas such as Ocean, Bush and Desert. The Netherlands Open Air Museum provides a relaxed and educational day out, bringing history to life in a green setting.
For those interested in history, the Airborne Museum Hartenstein tells the story of the Battle of Arnhem in a powerful and accessible way. A walk along the Rhine leads towards the iconic John Frost Bridge, known from the story A Bridge Too Far.
Arnhem itself offers a surprising amount of green space. Park Sonsbeek and Park Zypendaal together form a beautiful urban landscape with elevation changes, water features, scenic views and inviting picnic spots or pavilions.
In the evening, there are many options for entertainment and relaxation. Visit a concert or event at the GelreDome or enjoy a drink along the Rhine quay in Arnhem city centre. For dining, there are several pleasant restaurants nearby, such as Brasserie De Boerderij in Sonsbeek or eateries in Otterlo and Oosterbeek, easily combined with a scenic route through the park.
Everything is within cycling distance or a short drive, making it easy to combine nature, culture and conviviality during your stay.
We always provide a digital travel guide before and during your stay, filled with even more tips and inspiration from the surrounding area.
