Congratulations to the following travelettes who have won one of yesterday’s great giveaways! The pillows go to Kristin, Jules and Kate. The prints go to Anna-Marie, Sofie and Daniela.
29 more sleep until Christmas, but you’ll be sleeping like a baby if you can get your hands on today’s give-away. It’s amazing the wonderful Strandhaus Spreewald isn’t fully booked for the next three years, because everyone who comes here L.O.V.E.S it! I mean how often do you see a 9.3 rating for customer satisfaction on Booking.com? I am all the more excited to announce that in today’s calendar door we have 2 nights for 2 people at this wonderful boutique resort & spa.
The Strandhaus is located in a stunning natural setting, overlooking the beautiful green shore of the river Spree. This is one of those destinations that is amazing all year-round. Swimming, biking and canoeing in summer or long walks through the snowy forest in winter followed by hot chocolates in front of the fireplace. Sound good yet? Well, what if we told you that on op of the 2 nights at this gorgeous place you get breakfast and dinner as well as free spa usage AND a rowboat rental for a relaxing float through the Spreewald (a UNESCO reserve consisting of about 200 small canals).. BLISS.
With it’s gorgeous terrace views and state-of-the-art facilities, this is the place to kick back and put your feet up. Not much sounds better than lazily floating along a peaceful canal being surrounded by pristine nature. Well, that is unless you mention a day of relaxation at the spa (that might sound a teensy bit better). But luckily, guests of the Strandhaus Spreewald won’t have to choose since they can do both!
The Strandhaus Spreewald is part of GreenPearls, a portfolio of hand-selected, sustainable and unique places in the world, a selection of hotels with a greener vision and consequently a progressive outlook into a more environmentally friendly future. If you like your ecological footprint to remain extra small, this is your place.

why i want to stay at the strandhaus spreewald?
i'm in love. it's great!
perfect for a litlle retreat with or without my baby boy - and as the grandparents live in Berlin, its just around the corner!
Why ? Because I never been to Germany, and as a traveler. I just wanna travel every corner of the world to see the rhis world through my eyes.
I am yearning for a little retreat before or when starting the new year; spa and relaxing just sounds great right now!
woowwwwww this place looks super amazing!
winning this would be too good to be true. who wouldnt want to stay here and relaxxxxxxxx?
This place looks incredible, everytime me and my boyfriend travel anywhere it has to be somewhere with surf although i reckon this may change him and realise there are many more hidden gems inland (especially Europe)!
This would be perfect for a break from PhD writing!
Aww it looks heavenly! I wonder could you still go down the canals in the winter ? Would be so cool x
It looks absolutely beautiful and I'd love to stay there! :)
Look at the images! Do I really need to tell you, why I have to go there!? :)
I've never been to Germany but it's on my bucket list! This place looks gorgeous, I'd love to go! xxx
I would love to stay there!! i really want to visit Germany!!
I'd love to share this with my friend who has just moved over from New Zealand. She's missing home so a pampering weekend away would be the perfect distraction and way to start showing her the many beautiful areas of Europe!
This looks like a wonderfully relaxing place to stay. I would enjoy the spa and rowboat. I'm planning to visit Germany in September and would love to stay here.
I could come up with a couple of reasons why I would want to stay here but for one I love travelling but am also ecoconscious so I always feel a bit bad about my faraway travels (but it's the one thing I cannot compromise on). A stay in this sustainable hotel that is not too far away from my home would thus be absolutely perfect. Travelling without guilt!
I'd love to check out Strandhaus! I've been to Spreewald for a kayaking & camping trip before (also very sustainable ;)!), but I'd love to go there to relax a bit and get myself pampered. If I get the chance to go back on the river once again, even better :)!
Hi, I've never been to Germany and this hotel looks amazing, who wouldn't want to stay here?!! :)
I would start out day 1 by using the rowboat to check out all of the canals there are to explore! Then maybe some time at the spa before a little hot chocolate by the fireplace. Then dinner - yum! On Day 2, after breakfast, I would take a hike in the forest to explore the surroundings on foot before taking advantage of the spa again! It sounds like the perfect way to relax with nature!
This is amazing!I live so close to Germany..just across the border! Would love to visit this place and spend a relaxing weekend there!
I have never been to Germany before and I think that this is the greatest chance for me!!! Vasiliki from Greece
I would love to win this to spoilmy sister who is pregnant. She could use some pampering.
Why? Well I could do with a break and I know a friend of mine who does too. She hardly goes on holiday so would be great to go together. :)
Okay, I should have thought of a witty or at least clever lie, something interesting and way out of left field, about why I want to stay, but the odds aren't in my favor anyway so maybe just the intensity of my want, even though I didn't use cap lock, will be just as lucky as the other comments of merit. I'm a teacher of 520 first and second graders in China who is headed to Europe next month on a skin-tight budget. Why WOULDN'T I covet this???
I'd love a weekend full of peace and quiet with my SO.
I have got German roots and have always wanted to go visit! This looks absolutely amazing and would give me that "push" to go!!!
It looks so relaxing and beautiful! I so want to go there!
Well, I would love to stay in this wonderful hotel to combine some relaxing moments in the spa and along the canals with a visit to the city of Dresden that is located just an hour from the hotel!
Spreewald is for us "Berliners" THE place to go for an awesome and relaxing time - i'd love to go there!!
There is one question buzzing around in the head of a german child. Do Sprewaldgurken truly come form the Spreewald??
To answer that question, I want to stay at Strandhaus Spreewald with my financée.
I would love to win this because i love this place and it looks so amazing! Germany has many beautiful places and i want to see them...thank you for showing us all this interesting places in Germany!!
life's been incredibly busy/stressful lately. A getaway to the beautiful German countryside would be just perfect to clear my head, fill my lungs with fresh air and recharge my batteries!
This place looks gorgeous! It looks perfect for a relaxing, romantic getaway weekend with my husband. The toughest decision will be deciding between summer sunshine or a magical, snowy winter trip!
Such a georgous place, who would like to stay there!!! I definitely would love to explore this area of Germany which I haven't been yet and relax from my tours in this amazing resort
After spending 12 years in Asia I'm rediscovering new little gems in Europe .. reconnecting to the nature / local delicacies / fresh blue clean air :-) This place looks like a bright star ... happy vibe feeling :-)
This looks beautiful! Since I am writing up my PhD thesis about tourism at the moment, I wouldn't mind having a relaxing break sometime in-between.
I would love to share this with my sister who has had an awful time writing her thesis lately. This also meant that we never really had the Chance to catch up with each others lifes. So I would love to win this weekend. Starting with spa time or maybe at first a little rowing and then spa and endless chatting with her :)
I would love to go here as it looks absolutely beautiful!
This place looks awesome!!! Why would i like to go there? definitely to spend some quality time with my boyfriend, we have been in a long distance relationship for a years and an half cause we like travelling too much. it would be great to meet up in this awesome place after months apart and spend some time together and pan our next adventures!
This looks absolutely divine. Would love to go, would be a great graduation present.
Why?! The country, the scenery, the room ,the beds, the food, the experience, the luxury, the relaxation.. I could go on and on about why.. ;-)
I'm in love with spreewald! ;)
Why? To get to know a new part of my homecountry!
Woow!! it looks amazing. Why I want to stay there? the relaxation, the scenery, the food..... who wouldn't want to?
love it!!! I want to go there after I finish my exams and relaaaaaax
This looks so nice, and the possibility to get a rowboat is definitely a big plus. My current base is in Berlin and I have not had a chance to go to Spreewald yet so this would be such a unique opportunity. Even if I don´t win, thank you for making me discover this place, I´m definitely taking my boyfriend there, I´m a tree hugger and I love the energy of the forest, combine it with the spa and I´ll get back to my busy Berlin life totally relaxed and with my batteries fully reloaded, just what I need right now.
Travelettes ! I'm your best french fan...and this places simply looks awesome... ::=)
This package is the definition of luxury, which is so out of reach for me. Also, I haven't been to Germany, this would be a great first time.
Is there anything more perfect than to take this time to reflect on the goodness of the world and the blessings of the people and events in my life, and to reflect on the tragedies as well.... How beautiful!
The perfect reward for my masters thesis!
Because I would love to visit Germany for the first time and it looks like an incredibly relaxing hotel.
