Klein-Brabant

A region that breathes.

Vakantiehuis Stroom sits in Sint-Amands, in the heart of Klein-Brabant. Here the water sets the pace: morning mist over the polders, sunsets that turn the dyke gold, and village streets where you still have time to linger.

The Scheldt

Where the water sets the rhythm

The dyke, the jetties, the quiet between two passing boats — the Scheldt isn’t a backdrop, it’s daily company. Walk with the wind in your face, or simply watch how the light shifts.

  • Dyke and towpaths within walking distance
  • Sunsets you won’t forget
  • Space to slow down — with or without a plan

The Scheldt

Here the light dances on the water.
