Discover more about us
We’ve spend 10 years building the lodge and transforming a concrete plate into a lush tropical garden with lots of different plant species. The building is still in progress and we keep on improving our little paradise as time moves on. We just can't help ourselves and keep building new features as we see it as an ever lasting, ongoing process.
​
​We are hosting monthly workshops and seminars and next to that our terrace is open for parties on most weekends. If you are interested in our upcoming events, just click here for more info or you can book a room to stay in our lodge.
For private functions, please contact us to explore options.
​
The Bamboo Lodge is the place to be if you’d like to stay in a semi tropical lodge and enjoy a slightly alternative way of living during your stay. Most of our facilities are built using recycled materials that we collect during the year. Our aim is to recycle and upcycle as much as possible.
You can expect a western town meets a tropical garden, meets an alternative hippie/ bohemian lifestyle environment. ​
During your stay we encourage you to feel at home as much as possible in all our facilities.
Social Participation and Sustainable Social Entrepreneurship
​
​The lodge operates as a social enterprise that contributes to municipal objectives in the areas of social participation, reintegration, and sustainability. It provides accessible, low-threshold daytime activities for individuals who experience barriers to participation in the labour market or in society. Within a safe, structured, and supportive environment, participants are able to engage at their own pace and according to their abilities, fostering social inclusion, routine, and meaningful community involvement.
​
Participation is flexible and may involve several days
per week or per month. Activities primarily take place
outdoors and include building and maintenance projects,
gardening, site management, and support during events.
Through these activities, the lodge supports activation,
wellbeing, and the strengthening of social networks,
thereby contributing to sustained social participation
and reintegration.
​
In parallel, the lodge functions as a sustainable social
enterprise aligned with circular economy principles and
municipal climate policy goals. The organisation actively
minimises its environmental footprint by prioritising
the reuse of materials and resources. Approximately 85%
of the lodge’s buildings and facilities are constructed using
reclaimed, second-hand, recycled, or upcycled
materials that are sourced and collected throughout the
year. This approach contributes to waste reduction,
resource efficiency, and the extension of material lifecycles.
​
Where safety regulations, quality standards, or legal requirements apply, certain materials must be purchased new, including fire extinguishers, paint, and fastening materials such as screws.
​
This integrated approach is reflected in the many practical measures implemented on a daily basis. Rainwater is collected and reused to irrigate plants during the summer months, reducing reliance on mains water. A significant portion of the lodge’s energy consumption is supplied through solar power, supporting the transition to renewable energy sources. All organic food waste is composted and returned to the soil, contributing to circular nutrient use. In addition, all plants in the lodge’s garden have been recovered from disposal and are carefully restored and maintained. Together, these measures demonstrate how small-scale, everyday actions collectively contribute to climate resilience, resource efficiency, and sustainable land use.
