I left some of my belongings behind at CODE49. How do I contact Lost & Found?

Please e-mail hd@venwoude.nl or phone *31-(0)35 666 8447. Let us know what you’re missing, where you think you may have left it and in which training you were participating. You will be informed whether or not the object has been found and where you can pick it up. Unclaimed found objects are safeguarded for about a month and then taken to a second-hand store.

Are bed linen and/or towels included when I booked a room?

When you booked accommodation at Venwoude, bed linen and towels are included. 

Is it possible to arrive the night before my training or stay another night afterwards?

That is only possible for people coming from abroad, depending on the availability of beds and at an extra charge. For more information, please e-mail us at bookings@venwoude.nl.

Can I pay for my consumptions in the Pyramid by bank card?

Yes, in the Pyramid you can pay with most types of debit cards and credit cards, including contactless (up to 25 euros, through NFC technology).

I am on a strict diet; should I bring my own food?

Venwoude employs professional cooks who can cater for special diets. We aim to provide delicious meals that support the deep inner process during retreats.
For most common diets, such as lactose-free or gluten-free, standard alternatives are available (special bread, spelt products, vegan milk, goatcheese /-yogurt etc). Don’t hesitate to ask for possibilities. In case of doubt about your specific diet, please let us know on your training registration form or e-mail us at keuken@venwoude.nl

Is there a hair dryer available?

Yes there are hairdryers available that you can borrow. Please ask at the reception.

Can I wash my clothes during my stay?

That depends on the arrangements made with the trainer. In general, for short stays of less than 6 days, washing is only possible in exceptional cases. For retreats of 6 days or more, this can be done in consultation with the trainer and the group. The cost for washing and drying is 10 euro.

Is there an iron?

Yes there is. Please ask at the reception.

Are the rooms equipped with a sink?

Some rooms are, but not all. It depends on which room you are assigned to. The arrangement of the rooms depends on which group room the event/retreat takes place in. However, there are sanitary facilities – with sinks – on each hallway.

I come with my camper/tent, is there a bathroom I can use?

Yes, you can! The group building/sanitary is close to the tent/camper spot and you can use this at all times.

I arrive a day in advance and can check in from 18:00, but my flight/transportation is much earlier. Can I go to CODE49 then?

In general you can, but you might not be able to check in for your room yet. You can take a seat in the lounge or take a walk around the grounds. We ask you to keep your distance from the halls, in order to protect the privacy of the groups that are present there.

I will arrive after the check-in time. Can I still check in?

Please send an email to bookings@venwoude.nl no later than one week in advance. We will then send you the necessary details and an explanation of how to get to your room. Please check in at the reception the next day.

Is it possible to stay overnight at CODE49 outside of retreats?

This is not possible. Staying overnight at Venwoude is only possible within a retreat that is organized there.

Can I book room number X in building Y?

You can specify your preference when booking, under ‘remarks’. We always try to accommodate as much as possible when we make the room allocation, but we cannot guarantee anything.

Is there an agenda and overview of the retreats that are organized at CODE49?

This can be found on Venwoude’s website: https://www.venwoude.nl/agenda/
