My name is Wilma. I live since 1994 in Kiel Windeweer. I live there with my dog Lucky and the chikens Snip, Snap and Hansje. Ever since 2007 I have been renting canoes a whisper boat and a motorboat, bicycles and now also the Tiny House Hakuna Matata located in Kielwindeweer. The idea originated at a time when the canal of Kieldiep, right in front of Hakuna Matata, was reopened for boats to navigate through. This resulted in entertainment in the village and a growing demand for canoe and boat trips and overnight stays. I run my Tiny House next to my regular job. Beside this all I love traveling in nature, gardening, Wellness, Yoga, spending time on the water and hiking with mij dog Lucky. I experience a lot of fun entertaining my guests and sharing the beautiful environment where I live. It is lovely to meet different people who visit for various reasons and to see how they get to relax and really be away from it all. Each and every one with his or her own story. As recent as 2018, Hakuna Matata has gone through a full renovation and I have to say I am really proud to see the result. I could personally live there en in my spare time when I have no guests I really do.:)
