The Centre is in a forest between Driebergen and Zeist and about a 20 - 30 minute car drive away from the city of Utrecht. The centre is in 45 hectares of countryside.
The main building dates back to 1932 when it was used by a Christian student organisation called the NCSV.
Since then the main building has been renovated and extended to offer a very comfortable and spacious conference centre.
We will be using the Pavillion for our conference, this building is set apart from the main building, near to the entrance of the complex.
The Pavillion was constructed in 1953 as a convalescent home for the victims of the Walcheren floods. Originally a prefabricated building it has stood the test of time and has been completely renovated, so that it is now "tasteful, functional, inviting, and intimate".
Here we will have our own meeting space, dining room, bar, pool table and bedrooms.
The Pavillion has about 30 ensuite double bedroom, in order to offer as many single rooms as possible we have booked 60 single rooms in all - some people will have to sleep in the main building, a short walk away. The pavilion as well as the main building offer computer access and wifi.
