Free Parking Perks: How Hotel Tatenhove Simplifies Island Travel
If you're planning a Texel getaway by car, free parking can make all the difference. At Hotel Tatenhove in De Koog, free private parking—plus on-site EV charging and an e‑bike charging point—removes the hassle from island travel so you can focus on dunes, beaches, and time well spent.
In this guide, you'll learn exactly how our parking and mobility perks streamline your arrival, what to expect on-site, and easy ways to explore Texel without juggling keys and car parks.
Why Free Parking Matters on an Island
Many visitors reach Texel by ferry and continue their trip by car. That first hour after arrival often sets the tone: where to park, how far to walk with luggage, and whether you'll need to move the car again for dinner or a beach stroll.
At Hotel Tatenhove, you can park on-site and relax. We're set in a quiet natural location in De Koog—about a 5‑minute walk to the village centre, 15 minutes to the beach, and 400 metres from National Park "De Duinen van Texel"—so you can explore on foot or bike while your car stays comfortably in place.
What You Get: On‑Site Parking and Charging, Seamlessly
