Our all-inclusive premium package begins on the day of arrival with coffee and cake from 3 pm and ends on the day of departure with breakfast at 10 am. As soon as you arrive, we will show you around the farm and have a short arrival talk with you to address your individual wishes - for a maximum relaxing family time.

In order to have enough time for a thorough cleaning for the next families, we would like to ask you to vacate your apartment by 10 am.

You would like to arrive earlier or stay a little longer with us? For this you have the following time slots, which you can request at our reception:

Arrival from 11 am / Departure until 2 pm:
€ 22 per adult, € 14 per child up to 16 years.
These packages include food & beverages in the restaurant, the use of the beverage stations in the farmhouse and paddock, as well as all facilities of our family offer on the farm. Room use is excluded from this.

We offer a varied childcare programme for children from the first week of life. Depending on the age, your loved ones will be looked after from 0 to 3 and from 4 years of age.

Our handicraft and play programme is designed according to the age and, if possible, the wishes of the children. Our childminders lovingly look after your loved ones seven days a week for over 58 hours (i.e. from Sunday to Sunday) for different lengths of time.

Every day we offer supervised lunch and twice also a supervised dinner. The content of the children's programme varies according to the season and the age structure of the children. You will always find the current programme in our digital guest folder.

In our baby area with crèche, nappy-changing room and relaxation room, even the smallest children are in good hands.

During the holidays, we offer teen programmes. Children up to the age of 12 feel very comfortable in our house.

As in many other Familotel establishments, it is also possible for us to accommodate children with physical or mental handicaps in our care.

For the sake of completeness, but to prevent disappointment, we would like to go into more detail about our possibilities:

Like most family hotels, our house is not barrier-free. (More on this under the point Accessibility.) Our child carers are also not qualified carers.

If neither of these is necessary or not so important for you, then there is the possibility of integrating a child with special needs into the care. However, if excursions are planned, e.g. to the forest, to the animals or sports activities, or activities that require age-appropriate development, then there are often inevitably restrictions and we can therefore give no guarantee that full integration will be possible.

We ask for your understanding that in such cases it may be that either care has to be provided in a younger age group or - if this is not offered at the same time - care is temporarily not possible for the child concerned.

If integration cannot take place, individual care can be arranged, but this is only possible for a separate fee.
The care of children with special needs can be refused in individual cases if we cannot guarantee sufficient care or our carers simply do not feel up to the task. For example, because it turns out on site that the child's handicap is more severe than previously assumed, or because special attention to the child is not possible due to the total number of children to be cared for.

Therefore, please be sure to contact us by phone before booking so that the requirements can be discussed in detail in advance and can be guaranteed during your stay.

Your well-being is important to us and we want you to be completely satisfied and in good hands when you choose a family time at Averbeck. Please bear in mind that we are not specialists in this field, but we will do everything possible to ensure that you have a wonderful holiday. you a wonderful holiday.

We offer you an extensive wellness and massage offer directly on our farm as well as physiotherapeutic treatments in cooperation with a selected practice 5 minutes by car from us. Enjoy yourselves while your little ones are lovingly cared for in our childcare center.

Our tip: Reserve your treatment with the desired date and time directly at the time of booking or well in advance of your arrival.

We always ask you to wear underwear during the treatment. Thank you very much.

With our digital guest folder you are ideally prepared before and during your stay with us. There you will find everything you need to know about your stay, such as our weekly programme, excursion destinations and what you can look forward to. It's best to save it on your home screen for direct access.

Our main focus is on the children and they should be able to move freely with us. Therefore, bringing dogs in our house is no longer possible.

There are several golf courses not far from us. If you need help, please contact our colleagues at reception, who will be happy to help you.

The location of our farm in the middle of the Lüneburger Südheide is fantastic for a relaxing family time. However, we are a blank spot on the map when it comes to WLAN. We offer you free internet access via satellite on the entire hotel grounds. This is not comparable to wifi access in the (home) office, but a great solution for rural areas. Perfect for a relaxing time with the family instead of working on holiday.

We will gladly take care of the washing or dryer service for you for € 5.

Our car park can be used free of charge. You are welcome to drive your car to our courtyard to unload your luggage. Alternatively, we can bring your luggage directly to your room or from there back to your car. Please let us know at reception if we can help you.
