lit: Ons huis is jullie/uw huis
Explanation:
But you might as well say: 'Beschouw ons huis maar als jullie (eigen) huis'
(consider our home to be your (own) home).

If you want to be very polite (and use correct Dutch/Flemish), you'd have to use 'uw' instead of 'jullie'

No references needed. Native speaker.
