Henblas
Ten themed rooms in a stonebuilt farmhouse
About this hotel
Henblas is a three-star inn set in a genuine stonebuilt farmhouse, with ten individually themed rooms that give it far more character than the standard countryside guesthouses nearby. Breakfast and a bar-restaurant are available on-site, useful for a family who does not want to drive for every meal after a day at AquaMagis or out on the nearby Airlebnisweg Amecke trail. Free parking is essential here, since the farmhouse setting sits a drive from both the water park and the trail, and pet-friendly rooms mean the family dog fits naturally into a stay already built around countryside walking. The themed rooms make this a genuinely different overnight experience from the more functional Sauerland hotels closer to Plettenberg's centre, worth booking for families who want the stay itself to feel like part of the trip.

Our take
Henblas suits a family who wants a characterful, themed countryside stay alongside AquaMagis and the nearby Airlebnisweg Amecke trail, and who values a genuine farmhouse setting over a standard hotel room. It suits less well a family wanting to walk to the water park, since this rural inn assumes a drive in both directions.
- ✓Ask about the specific room themes when booking, since each of the ten rooms at Henblas is furnished differently.
- ✓Pack for a walk on the Airlebnisweg Amecke trail nearby, a genuine countryside option alongside AquaMagis pool days.
- ✓Book the on-site bar-restaurant for evenings, given how rural this farmhouse setting is compared to central Plettenberg.
Why we love it

- Genuine stonebuilt farmhouse setting

Why guests love itWe picked Henblas mainly for the themed rooms, and our kids loved having a genuinely different room to talk about rather than a standard hotel double. We walked part of the Airlebnisweg Amecke trail on our day away from AquaMagis, and the on-site bar-restaurant covered dinner most nights without a drive back into Plettenberg after a tiring day either way.
