Prachtig gelegen locatie met uitstekende flexibele service

Onze verenigingsnieuwjaarsbijeenkomst had veel meer aanwezigen dan gebruikelijk. Het team is flexibel en denkt mee. Voor de schermen heeft men niets gemerkt van alle aanpassingen. Over Down Under: de combinatie van sfeer en aandacht voor details maakt deze locatie bijzonder. Bijkomende voordelen: Centraal in Nederland gelegen, goede bereikbaarheid, prima parkeergelegenheid.

Fijne, Sfeervolle locaties met goede service

Wij maken al een aantal jaar gebruik van deze locatie en dat doen we omdat de locatie prachtig erbij ligt. De service en en het eten is goed. De kleine puntjes die bijvoorbeeld even tegen zitten worden altijd goed opgelost en ze denken graag met je mee. Al met Al zijn wij erg tevreden met Down-Under en wij hopen dan nog vele jaren te mogen samenwerken.
