Beyond the gate

Step through the gate and leave the outside world behind

More is possible behind this door than you might think. Every lady works in her own way: one will take her time over a long massage or tantra, another goes further into role play, soft SM or SM. And that is nowhere near all of it.

Whatever you arrange, you discuss it inside with the lady herself. She knows what she offers and what she asks for it, you say what you are in the mood for, and between you it falls into place. No go-between, no fixed packages, no rush.

Let yourself be surprised by a stylish atmosphere, beautiful women and an experience you will not forget in a hurry. Whether you are looking for relaxation, for excitement or for a special moment to yourself, you have come to the right place.

The courtyard sits in the old Begijnhof quarter around the Bakenes, in the historic centre of Haarlem. No window on a main road, no queue on the street: a gate in a façade, and a courtyard behind it. You do not check in and you show nothing.

    Clean rooms, every day

    Every room is cleaned between visits and has fresh linen and warm light. Hygiene is not an afterthought here.

Safety

Someone is always there

The courtyard is closed off and there is management on site. That is there for the women who work here, and it makes things a good deal more comfortable for visitors too: everyone knows where they stand and there is always someone to talk to.

The house rules are published on this site, so you know in advance what is expected of you and what you can fall back on yourself.
