Het Demerhuys – a peaceful vacation home for 6, near Bokrijk and Hasselt

The Demerhuys is located in Diepenbeek, centrally situated between Hasselt, Genk, and Bilzen—right where Haspengouw and De Wijers meet. You’ll be staying on a quiet residential street, yet you can reach the centre of Hasselt or the gates of Bokrijk in just ten minutes. If you’re coming by train, get off at Diepenbeek Station, which has direct connections from Brussels, Liège, and Tongeren.

The house accommodates 6 people, spread across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area make cooking together and lingering over a meal the natural highlight of the day. Outside, you’ll find a cosy patio and a sunny terrace where you can wind down with a Limburg beer. Free Wi-Fi, a separate workspace, and a private parking spot on the driveway round out your stay—even if you’re here for work.

Cyclists will love it here: junction 100 is just 1 kilometre away, and from there you can easily cycle to “Fietsen door het Water” in Bokrijk, “Fietsen door de Bomen” in Bosland, or the blossoms of Haspengouw. On foot, you can explore Demerstrand and the Dauteweyers-Dorpsbemden nature reserve, the southernmost part of De Wijers, the land of 1,001 ponds. For a day of culture, you can quickly reach the Bokrijk Open-Air Museum, the Alden Biesen Commandery, or even Maastricht. The Hoge Kempen National Park is just under a half-hour drive away.
