Mission, vision and goals

About EIGENTIJDSERF

EIGENTIJDSERF is a sustainable meeting and event venue in Westelbeers, Brabant, surrounded by nature and centrally located between Den Bosch, Tilburg, and Eindhoven. We offer space to organizations that consciously wish to slow down, deepen their understanding, and connect. Our location is designed for meetings, training sessions, workshops, team-building days, and multi-day gatherings. The combination of comfortable facilities, personal attention, and a natural environment fosters focus, reflection, and new insights. With various meeting and breakout rooms, a restaurant, 69 bedrooms, and ample opportunities for outdoor activities, we create a place where people can truly disconnect from the daily grind. At EIGENTIJDSERF, everything revolves around attention—for each other, for the process, and for the environment.

our vision

Support young people in Brabant with your stay

Did you know that your stay with us means more than just enjoying peace and nature? Thanks to all our guests and the guests of Landgoed Huize Bergen, we are able to support various causes annually through the Joannes Bosco Foundation. The foundation deliberately chooses projects aimed at the development of young people in Brabant who could use 'a helping hand'. In this way, you contribute to valuable projects for young people under 25 in Brabant, ranging from talent development to social initiatives.

Our journey shapes our vision

Our history

EIGENTIJDSERF has a unique history. What once began as a small-scale initiative in the Brabant countryside grew into the versatile meeting and training venue it is today. The DNA of EIGENTIJDSERF is still at this core: attention to people, processes, and the environment, in a natural, calming setting.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

  • What dinner options are there, and are dietary requirements and allergies taken into account?

    An intensive training day calls for good food. Our chef and his team lovingly take care of the culinary side of your programme. A lot is possible: from an extensive, healthy breakfast buffet, sports meals and vegetarian and vegan options to dinner or lunch in our tipi tent, a delicious barbecue in nature or shared dining. We are happy to arrange a personal, tailor-made dinner for you. We work with fresh, seasonal produce from our own garden. Of course, we take dietary requirements, allergies and sports or training goals into account.

  • Are pets welcome at Eigentijdserf?

    Although we love every four-legged friend, pets are unfortunately not allowed at our venue. Certified assistance and guide dogs are the exception, provided this has been arranged with us at least 48 hours in advance.

  • What is our quiet policy?

    Because we are located in the green backyard of Tilburg, we have decided together with the region not to make loud noise outdoors after 10 pm. This way, we protect nature and the animals that make this place so special.
