I know of a small B&B in Rozenburg (http://www.hoteleetcafehetcentrum.nl/) but still a fair way from the Maasmond. There is also the Hotel De Beer (http://www.hoteldebeer.nl/) but also a way from where you want to be. The water taxi from Hoek van Holland to the Maasvlakte which could be an option for hotel in Hoek van Holland (easy to get to via train) and the Mrs can then get the train to Rotterdam for shopping while you're shipping  ;) - might be a bit of a walk though.

Slag Maasmond is a remote location and there is no public transportation. I guess Hoek van Holland is your best option. From the Berghaven in HvH you can get by boat to the centre of the Maasvlakte with the "Nieuwe prins" from there it's a 10 minute bikeride. You can hire a bike in HvH and take it with you on the boat. With the rulerfunction in Google maps you can easily calculate the distances on and around the Maasvlakte and in streetview you can even see a smal part of Slag Maasmond. The boat from Hvh drops you at the end of the Antarcticaweg next to the DFDS terminal.

Cheers Fred
