Milch und Limonade Quartier Westküste
In a charming cobblestone alley in the village of Garding, very close to the popular North Sea resort of St. Peter-Ording, stands a small historic townhouse. It looks pretty and neat—with its warm red bricks and pastel-colored windows and doors. The name of the house? “Milch & Limonade ”. The endearing name, which fits the picture book character so wonderfully, is intended to take guests back to bygone times. There was a store here once upon a time for exactly that—milk and lemonade—to take home. The house dates back to 1780, but only the outer brick shell has been preserved. Inside, it’s practically a new building with modern standards and the latest technology. The interior is reminiscent of an English cottage, mixed with pared back Scandinavian design and a sprinkle of northern German details—so beautiful and so special that you can’t help but be immediately enraptured by it. With its open floor plan, white wood and concrete floors and many natural materials such as wood and rattan, the house looks very bright and modern while exuding a cozy feel-good atmosphere. Many lovely and well-considered details like the window seat in the beautiful English Shaker-style kitchen, the back-to-back children’s beds, the choice of pictures and the perfectly chosen color accents are simply stunning, creating an exceptionally cheerful atmosphere. The urban-look, small dreamy courtyard becomes a second living room, especially in summer, where it’s a wonderful place to drink a glass of lemonade or milk (or maybe a glass of wine?) in honor of the house. But what else is on offer? The Eiderstedt peninsula is waiting to be discovered—endless green expanses, wide sandy beaches, the wild west coast, a wind that wonderfully tousles your hair, blowing through your mind, and clearing your head. This mixture of abundant sea air, nature and the exquisite design is tremendously relaxing.
WHAT WE LIKE MOST:
- The consistent color concept with white and gray and natural tones making the house look much brighter and bigger.
- The beautiful English cottage style kitchen—you’ll love staying and will no doubt leave with grand plans for your own kitchen at home!
- The urban courtyard—a great place to sit down at the pretty table by the beautiful brick wall
- Many quintessential details have been retained or reinterpreted, e.g. the windows opening outwards.
- Eye-catching sights with a tongue-in-cheek humor (who can find the kitchen clock?)
- The selected wooden and vintage toys in the children’s room
- The collection of old paintings just goes so well with the modern, pared back furnishings.
- In case it rains, Hunter rubber boots in different sizes are available for the guests (this makes you feel even more like you’re in an English cottage in the countryside).
- The idyllic location near the church, surrounded (literally) by pretty old houses.
GOOD TO KNOW:
- Children are explicitly welcome and will feel right at home in the chic children's room (and siblings will probably find it funny that they can sleep head to head - the beds are arranged one behind the other).
- There’s deliberately no TV.
- A utility room with a full-size washing machine is available.
- There are plenty of restaurants, especially in St.Peter-Ording, but you can also find some restaurants in the village itself. In Tönning and Tating you can also stop for a bite to eat, and there are numerous courtyard cafés on Eiderstedt.
- Shopping facilities are within walking distance.
- A good starting point to explore the Eiderstedt peninsula—many pretty villages (e.g. Tönning, Tetenbüll, Tating), beautiful nature, the lighthouse of Westerhever and, of course, the wide 12-kilometer-long sandy beaches at St. Peter-Ording (approx. 12 kilometers away), including the extraordinary pile dwellings and the beautiful dune landscape
