About

Welcome to Het Houtse Meer, a breathtaking location nestled in an oasis of green with a stunning view over a vast lake. Conveniently located for Benelux companies and easily accessible via the A27 and A59, between Breda and Oosterhout, our venue also offers ample parking for about 225 cars.

Sustainability and innovation
Het Houtse Meer is proud to be GREEN KEY GOLD certified – the highest rating for sustainable businesses in the hospitality sector. This certificate recognizes our efforts to make sustainable entrepreneurship central to everything we do! We use triple glazing and a heat pump with 400% efficiency. We work with multiple 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 venue
We never stand still, and 2025 is another year filled with 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 area, and the airstream caravan by the water is now available for booking for management meetings. The beach has received a major upgrade with much more sand, palm trees, and a swing over the water. Additionally, a new outdoor kitchen with terrace, parasols, and a very large grill will be added.

For activities in between, there are 3 pétanque courts on our grounds, and our restaurant inside the building has also been completely renovated.

In short, a range of possibilities!

From an inspiration session or staff day to a complete company event, themed party, or walking dinner: we take care of 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.
