De Smockelaer (The Smuggler) near Sleanaken, is a beautifully restored Dutch farm complex set in the rolling hills of South Limburg at the most southern point of The Netherlands near to Maastricht.


Only 250 meters to the Belgian border and a few miles from Germany it is perfectly situated for a visit to continental Europe. The name of the auberge was inspired by the romantic idea of the many smuggling activities which took place in years gone by in this border region. But all too often it was a real cat and mouse game where smugglers and border guards alternately pulled the short straw. During your stay in Auberge De Smockelaer it's worth the trouble to find out about some of the smuggling tales that still circulate in these parts.
De Smockelaer is an ideal place to come to during your stay in South Limburg: Sunny terrace, cozy pub-restaurant (with open fire) and a wonderful choice of local dishes.
Children also feel at home at the Smockelaer

If the children are happy then so are you ! The Smockelaer has spared no effort to make this a place where children can happily amuse themselves whilst parents can enjoy a quiet drink at the bar or on the terrace. For example, Outside: A sports field, an adventure play-ground with various climbing frames, swings etc. Inside: A table 'just for the kids', a childrens 'smugglers-library', a collection of games, a humorous 'for children only' toilet section, and a kitchen staff that understands the 'culinary' desires of kids.
