Welcome to Waterkant !

Alternative to the crowds of seaside boulevards, try nearby ‘Waterkant’ -Water’s Edge-. Our little ponton ferries you across as you enter the most beautiful grass terrace of The Hague. Due to the south facing secluded setting, the temperature is often several degrees higher than the rest of town. You can also enter through the park. Waterkant is situated in the middle of the Rose Garden in the Westbroekpark.

Opening hours

We are open daily from King’s Day to Prinsjesdag to the third Tuesday in September (= opening Dutch parliamentary year) from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Weather permitting our terrace might open sooner in April and we also like to enjoy late summer as long as possible.

Besides rowing boats, picnics, lunches, drinks and dinners, supping (stand up paddle) and bunker exhibitions, this oasis just outside the city is also an ideal place for your wedding ceremony, outdoor meeting or birthdayparty. Our floating terrace makes every company outing an amazing experience!

Terrace

It’s always wonderful just to be on our lawn enjoying a pot of tea with or without a delicious piece of cake. You are welcome every day for breakfast in the morning sun, lunch under a parasol, a drink with snacks or for a simple to extensive dinner. Order something from the regular menu or from the daily specials announced on the chalkboard. Compose your own 1, 2 or 3 course dinner and choose from fish or vegetarian dishes from the changing menu. For larger groups we set up long festive tables for an extensive lunch, laid back drinks or festive dinner buffet.

For those who like to be on a terrace and sail at the same time, it is possible to book our floating terrace.

Picnic

A rowing picnic for two is great fun. You can also order extra (children’s) picnic baskets and combine them with an hour and a half of rowing or enjoy the picnic in the park. Of course you can also order sandwiches from the lunch menu or a bottle of wine and take it with you. The contents of the picnic and the reservation form can be found in the menus.

Bunker

There is an old bunker on our site (Type V192 and once a machine bunker). In this unique environment we organize exhibitions by young artists all summer. The bunker is open daily and admission is free. Every Wednesday afternoon, the World of The Hague Foundation organizes a free cultural program WoMiBo in and around the bunker in collaboration with these young talents .
