Sustainability and innovation
Het Houtse Meer is proudly GREEN KEY GOLD certified – the highest accolade for sustainable businesses in the hospitality sector. This certificate recognizes our efforts to put sustainable entrepreneurship at the heart of everything we do! We use triple glazing and a heat pump with 400% efficiency. We work with several local suppliers and with ecological and organic products such as organic wines, dairy, vegetables, and ecological cleaning agents.

At Het Houtse Meer, enjoying sustainably and responsible entrepreneurship go hand in hand!

Versatile event location
We never stand still, and 2025 is another year full of expansions and innovations! In addition to our 3 rooms with terraces by the water, we now also have a chic indoor lounge, a 500m2 pavilion on the outdoor site, and the airstream caravan by the water is now bookable for management meetings. The beach has received a significant upgrade with much more sand, palm trees, and a swing over the water. A new outdoor kitchen with a terrace, umbrellas, and a very large grill is also coming.

For activities in between, we have 3 pétanque courts on our grounds, and our restaurant inside the building has recently been completely renovated.

In short, a range of possibilities!

From an inspiration session or staff day to a complete corporate event, theme party, or walking dinner: we arrange everything from A to Z, and our experienced team ensures an unforgettable experience.

Unique experience by the water
The serene view over the water and the tranquility of nature create a unique atmosphere that never gets boring. Thanks to the flexibility of our rooms, terraces, and event area, we can tailor any event to your wishes. Het Houtse Meer is the place where you can truly relax or find inspiration.

Geweldig

Ons 25 jarig huwelijksfeest was mede door het personeel en locatie fantastisch! Desiree die ons vanaf het eerste moment goed heeft geholpen en alles van te voren heeft afgestemd! Ook op de dag zelf ging alles prima! Hele aardige bediening, eten was perfect en echt een top locatie🤍 Bedankt Jacco en Marieke en kids

Een absolute parel die je maar zelden treft in horeca land.

We hadden een.. bruiloftslunch.. het was in alle opzichten een fantastische ervaring. Al onze gasten waren vol lof over de keuken de bediening en de locatie. Ook was de voorbereiding van het feest heel professioneel en warm persoonlijk. Kortom een feest bij de Houtse Meren is een echte aanrader.
