About us
The 4-star hotel Moeke Mooren is located in Appeltern, a pleasant village in Gelderland. This hotel is located directly on the Maas, in the De Gouden Ham recreational and nature reserve. It is an ideal starting point for explorations through nature.
Discover Gelderland's Rivierenland region with its rivers, dykes, country lanes and tranquil villages on foot, by bike or by boat. For an afternoon of retro-style disco bowling, a game of traditional Dutch XL games or solving puzzles in one of our escape rooms, you don't have to go anywhere. Hotel Moeke Mooren has it all!

Facilities
You won't be bored for a minute at Moeke Mooren.
Moeke Mooren is the place to be for a delicious breakfast, a tasty lunch or a cosy drink. The restaurant has several atmospheric spots where you can relax with a cup of coffee during the day and enjoy an extensive dinner in the evening. In the open kitchen, the chef and his team prepare the most delicious dishes from French-Dutch cuisine. They take the season into account and like to use local delicacies.
When the weather is nice, you can enjoy not only delicious food on the panoramic terrace, but also spectacular views of the lively water and nature reserve. Moeke Mooren is child-friendly and offers plenty of entertainment for young and old: from a children's playground to a cosy bowling alley. Want to enjoy yourself with the whole family? You can, of course, at Moeke Mooren!
You can hire bicycles at the hotel and, from spring onwards, tenders and boats, which are ideal for exploring the De Gouden Ham recreation and nature area from the water. And right next to Moeke Mooren is Strand Goud, our latest addition: an atmospheric spot by the water where you can relax with a drink, your feet in the sand and the most beautiful view. Here you can also rent SUPs, perfect for a sporty and refreshing outing on the water.

At Moeke Mooren, you are in the heart of the Land van Maas en Waal, right on the Meuse. For a long time, the Gelderland Rivierenland was a forgotten part of the Netherlands. Not so long ago, almost no one knew how beautifully the dykes meander through the landscape here, or how impressively the blue skies contrast with the peaceful villages. Villages where people earned their living in the brick factories for decades and life passed by at a leisurely pace.
Thanks to Boudewijn de Groot and his famous song, the rest of the Netherlands finally discovered what had remained hidden here all this time: the beautiful Land of Maas and Waal.
To explore this beautiful area, you can choose from various walking, cycling and sailing routes. Feel free to ask about them at the Moeke Mooren reception. You can also reach the charming town of Tiel in no time. And when you're surrounded by so much water, it makes sense to get out and explore! At Moeke Mooren, you have that opportunity: rent a bicycle, tender or boat and discover the Gouden Ham from the water.
Right next to Moeke Mooren, you will find Strand Goud, a charming spot on the water where you can relax with a drink, enjoy the view or get active on the water with a SUP board. The perfect end to a day full of outdoor fun!

We do this by increasingly integrating sustainability into our business processes, services and products.

- We inform our guests, employees and suppliers about how we conduct our corporate social responsibility.
- We make transparent agreements with the parties involved about the quality of our product and how we monitor quality.
In addition to the financial impact, we also determine the social and environmental impact of our product and limit any negative impact as much as possible. - We voluntarily contribute to social causes through donations and sponsorship and/or through volunteer work.
- Where possible, we try to inform our guests and customers and facilitate them in reducing their environmental impact.
- We continuously work to reduce the environmental impact and increase the sustainable character of our company. By actively striving to reduce waste flows and our consumption of gas, water, electricity and fossil fuels.
