Country house Daniel

Landhuis Daniel is a historic monument where history, nature, gastronomy and art come together.

Landhuis Daniel, is part of the Dutch colonial heritage and was built around 1700 by Daniel Ellis, an English captain of a Dutch WIC ship. The headquarters of the West India Company was for a considerable part of its existence in Middelburg, the city where the current owner spent most of his Dutch period:
“When I took over the plantation house, behind an old cupboard I found a yellowed pencil drawing of the windmill on the Molenwater in Middelburg, the same windmill that I would see if I looked out of my bedroom window from my house in Middelburg! Was it coincidence or predestination that I arrived at Landhuis Daniel, I think the latter. It felt like coming home. The circle was complete ”, says Jan Francke (stage name Jakke), who has owned Landhuis Daniel since 1997.

Since then, Landhuis Daniel has become a popular restaurant -with some guest rooms- where tourists and locals mingle in a laid-back Caribbean ambiance, enjoying exquisite food from the eclectic menu.
