Arrival & departure
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00 on most days. Arriving early or leaving late? Just ask — we'll do our best to work around the other guests and your travel plans.
Contact & Booking
Tell us your dates and we'll reply personally. Tamara and Sven answer every enquiry themselves — no call centre, no bots, just a warm welcome in the heart of Antwerp.
Direct contact
The quickest way to secure your stay is to call or email us directly. Booking direct means you speak to the people who actually run Koto — we'll look after the details from your arrival time to your breakfast preferences, and answer any question honestly.
Enquiry form
This is an enquiry, not a live booking engine — we don't run real-time availability. Send us your dates and we'll check the calendar by hand and come back to you with availability, rates and a personal welcome.
Practical info
A few things worth knowing before you book. We'd rather tell you upfront than surprise you on arrival.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00 on most days. Arriving early or leaving late? Just ask — we'll do our best to work around the other guests and your travel plans.
A free private parking space is included with your stay, right by the house. There's a Tesla charging point on site too, so you can arrive on an empty battery and leave topped up.
The outdoor pool is heated and sits in our large tropical garden. It's a seasonal pleasure — typically open from spring through early autumn — and shared with us and the other guests. A cocktail by the water is the best way to end a day in the city.
Breakfast is included and served wherever you like best: in your room, or — weather permitting — in the garden by the pool. Tamara's speciality is an egg coddler, a gently poached egg served the traditional English way.
Children are very welcome. The Afrika garden suite connects by a bamboo bridge to a treehouse where kids can play — or even spend the night. Rooms sleep up to two adults and two children, with a third child possible on request.
Koto is a characterful heritage house, so expect original staircases and a few steps between levels; the treehouse is reached by a bamboo bridge and isn't suitable for reduced mobility. Tell us what you need and we'll advise honestly on which room suits you best.
From our home to yours
Whether you book through the website or simply pick up the phone, we'll be on the other end with a coffee ready and the garden gate open.
Warmly,
Tamara & Sven
