    I don’t understand why people so generous to this place? For 4 euro you’ll get: - one toilet (only 2 cabins for both sex!) - no dressing rooms - no umbrellas(try to find shadow under the tree) - no food after 5 o’clock! So we wanted to reserve table at the restaurant by phone - we were told it’s impossible, please come to spot. We came in 5-7 mins - it was full! On top of this, restaurant isn’t connected to beach at all. And keep in mind that shore line is really narrow and water is dirty because of mud! So far - it’s the worst place I have visited in Holland!

    (Translated by Google) The Henschotermeer is a swimming lake near Woudenberg, the lake was created in an excavation for the A12 in the 1930s. The lake is beautifully situated in nature, with alternating beach and grass plus some more sheltered spots between the trees. For € 2.95 p.p. you can enter for a whole day, bicycles can be stored for free, a day ticket for a car costs € 7.00. There are several entrances that are easily accessible. Due to corona measures, it is now necessary to book and pay in advance. It can also be fully booked on busy days, but this makes it a good and safe place to stay. I don't recognize myself in previous reviews about overcrowding, I went on a sold out day and was amazed by the space, provided you don't sit on the most crowded parts. There are plenty of clean and free toilets on the site, which are cleaned extra due to corona. There are various catering options, from ice creams to fries to smoothies. But you can also bring your own food, provided no glassware, fire or BBQ. In short, a must! (Original) Het Henschotermeer is een zwemplas bij Woudenberg, de plas is ontstaan in een afgraving voor de A12 in de jaren '30. De plas is prachtig gelegen in de natuur, met afwisselend strand en gras plus wat meer beschutte plekjes tussen de bomen. Voor €2,95 p.p. mag je naar binnen voor een hele dag, fietsen kun je gratis stallen, een dagkaart voor een auto kost €7,00. Er zijn diverse ingangen die goed te bereiken zijn. Door coronamaatregelen is het nu nodig vooraf te reserveren en te betalen. Met drukke dagen kan het ook volgeboekt zijn, maar hierdoor is het goed en veilig vertoeven. In eerdere reviews over te grote drukte herken ik me niet, ik ging op een uitverkochte dag en verbaasde me over de ruimte, mits je niet op de meest drukke stukjes gaat zitten. Op het terrein zijn voldoende schone en gratis WC's, die vanwege corona nog extra gereinigd worden. Er zijn diverse horeca opties, van ijsjes tot frietjes tot smoothies. Maar je mag ook je eigen eten meenemen, mits geen glaswerk, vuur of BBQ. Kortom, een aanrader!

    Great place to eat, drink, chill and practice some water sports. Water skiing was great, one of the instructors was very helpful with tips to improve the pulling start and the balance. It can get pretty busy though!

    You can drive without notice inside for free and then you are trapped to pay otherwise you can't leave. Signs are not clear and everything is online no paybooths or anything

    (Translated by Google) The catering industry is open on sunny days from 11 am to 7 pm, you can read on the website. It is now 25 degrees and sunny, you don't get much better in the Netherlands! Simply put on your website that you are closing the catering industry today in connection with the low numbers of visitors on the day, which is now easy to gauge because you have to buy tickets online in advance. Now I have paid 12.90 online and what was supposed to be a very nice afternoon is totally gone! NEVER AGAIN!!!! (Original) Horeca is op zonnige dagen open vanaf 11 tot 19 uur staat op de website te lezen. Het is nu 25 graden en zonnig, veel beter krijg je het niet in Nederland! Zet dan gewoon op je website dat je de horeca dicht houdt vandaag in verband met de lage aantallen bezoekers op de dag, nu goed te peilen omdat je vooraf online kaarten moet kopen. Nu heb ik online 12,90 betaald en is wat een hele leuke middag moest worden finaal naar de knoppen! NOOIT MEER!!!!

    Surely a beautiful restaurant in an amazing location . The stuff is friendly but no service at all and super expensive . We arrived around 21, we didn't receive a particular welcome, just young people running around and the guy that looks like the manager just standing there in one side. We asked if was possible to have dinner, they answer yes . We sitted down and we noticed that after we scanned the menu' QR code just bites and drinks where available on their App/Website . So we asked for the dinner menu? The waitress said I bring you the menu'for the food. Ok finally with the menu'in our hands, to read them you need the phone lights because the outside terrace is completely dark, finally we ordered the food . 5 minutes the lady back sorry the kitchen is close ! She didn't know that the kitchen was close, apparently it closed before that evening . On Google map is written open until 22, but eventually the kitchen could close at 21,21:15,21:30,21:45 etc. When you order the beers if you want a large beer say that otherwise they are bringing you the small one, again the service should be important but I know for my experience that unfortunately often around Utrecht the price to go out is really high and the service received is under the average . The prices are like a find dining restaurant but the Down Under has a Pub menu', people maybe get excited for the wakeboard park and beach they have on the lake so the prices go up . Small details are important and make always the difference ! For sure a place like that could be better managed !

    Had a nice group dinner. The restaurant felt nice and even a bit premium. But you do experience some more low-end party vibe, toilets where you can be drunk if you want. Sure it relates to the activities you can do over at Down Under.

    Great and clean. 4 Euros per person is fair price to get in. Only thing is that there is k lu one restaurant to eat. So bring your own food and drinks.

    Mooi uitzicht met goede bediening in het restaurant en op het terras. Menukaart is interessant en divers. Fijne plek om een avond lekker wat te drinken of een hapje te eten. Voor de sportievelingen is er ook een wakepark en een indoor wavesurfer.

    In tegenstelling tot andere recensies, was het eten prima in orde. Maar de prijzen zijn exorbitant. Een simpele uitsmijter kaas kost 10,50 euro. Bieren van de tap liggen rond de 5 euro. Goed eten, vriendelijke bediening, maar overrated prijzen.

  • 2/5 Sander de G. 3 years ago on Google
    Wisselende ervaringen. Eten meestal prima, sommig personeel professioneel en vriendelijk maar vandaag bijzonder matige ervaring met service terwijl het dit keer nauwelijks druk was. Vooral onvriendelijke en niet persoonlijke behandeling, tot aan snibbig reageren op de vraag over hoe het zit met het strand. Ook bizar hoeveel geld ze vragen voor het gebruik van een beach volleybal veld.

    (Translated by Google) Today (06 August 2020) went to the beach Down Under. People don't keep their distance. Extremely busy after 1pm. Many groups of young people who did not keep their distance. Apparently the staff does not keep an eye on the amount of guests arriving at the beach. I'm not coming back. (Original) Vandaag (06 augustus 2020) bij het strand Down Under geweest. Mensen houden geen afstand. Ontzettend druk na 13.00u. Veel groepen van jongeren die geen afstand hielden. Blijkbaar houdt het personeel niet in de gaten de hoeveelheid gasten die bij het strand komen. Ik kom niet meer terug.

    (Translated by Google) We were only allowed to sit outside and there it was quite cold and a lot of wind. Later on there were suddenly people inside. Have to wait 20 minutes for a drink. Chicken satay was undercooked. Carpaccio salad was 1 bowl with a lot of rucolla lettuce and little meat. The DJ lived in his own world. We only heard the bass drone and no melody. Maybe do something about the installation. 1 x but not again. (Original) We mochten alleen buiten zitten en daar was het behoorlijk koud en veel wind. Later zaten er toch ineens mensen binnen. 20 minuten moeten wachten op een drankje. Kip sate was niet gaar. Carpaccio salade was 1 bak met heel erg veel rucolla sla en weinig vlees. De dj leefde in zijn eigen wereldje. We hoorde alleen gedreun van de bass en geen melodie. Misschien iets aan de installatie doen. 1 x maar niet nog een keer.

    (Translated by Google) Nice location, friendly staff and I like that the team is just nice and human and not so made in their actions. The week before we had an appointment to look at the location for our wedding, we went to lunch at Down Under. My expectant had the carpaccio and I had the soup of the day. (onion) We both loved it and many reviews here call it expensive but for the amount you get, we think it is worth the price. We look forward to celebrating our wedding here next year. (Original) Mooie locatie, vriendelijk personeel en ik vind het fijn dat het team gewoon lekker menselijk is en niet zo gemaakt in hun doen en laten. De week voor dat wij een afspraak hadden om op de locatie te kijken voor ons huwelijk zijn we bij Down Under gaan lunchen. Mijn aanstaande had de carpaccio en ik had de soep van de dag. (ui) Wij vonden het beide heerlijk en veel reviews hier noemen het duur maar voor de hoeveelheid wat je krijgt vinden wij het zeker de prijs waard. Wij verheugen ons erop om hier volgend jaar onze bruiloft te vieren.

    They could do more for controlling the douchebags that park so bad you cannot use the next parking slot or even using 2, which are surprisingly many. Otherwise is a nice place.

  • 5/5 Natalia P. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful recreational place. Nice big beach and round lake that goes gradually deep. Pretty good for kids to play in the low water. The forest around is pretty nice and big and it allows for some nice walks or bike rides. It can be pretty busy during summer holiday season though

    Lovely little place to hang out both in summer and winter. It's surrounded by forrest. And the little lake itself is surrounded by beach. So in the summer it's great for getting a tan. Sometimes in the winter you can iceskate.

  • 5/5 Cem K. 4 years ago on Google
    An absolute oasis! Great place to spend a day with the family. The temperature of the water is warmer than a usual recreation pond. Sandy beach is huge and there is also a grass area if you don't like sand. Facilities include toilets, showers (only cold), snacks and ice cream. Parking is very easy, as they have installed a new system last year, you don't need a parking ticket. On warm days it is a hassle to find a parking spot though. As per June 2018 the entrance is free, but it seems like it is not going to stay this way.

Beach is toll-free out of season ... on weekends there is an opportunity to order mulled wine pea soup, hot chocolate with rum !. Surprisingly good shop. And what a view when you walk there. Watch out before dark, the park is closed. (Original) Wondermooi stukje. Hagelwit strand met een mooi wandelpad eromheen. Voor honden fietsers verboden. Alleen parkeren s nogal prijzig. 10,- per dag of 7,- bij reservering. Strand is buiten het seizoen tolvrij... in het weekend is er gelegenheid voor het bestellen van glühwein erwtensoep warme chocolademelk met rum!. Verrassend goede toko. En wat een uitzicht als je daar wandelt. Oppassen voor het donker wordt het park afgesloten.

    (Translated by Google) Much smoke and odor nuisance from smokers. There are dirty butts everywhere in the sand. A beach where so many people and especially children come should be completely smoke-free. (Original) Veel rook- en stankoverlast door rokers. Overal in het zand liggen vieze peuken. Een strand waar zoveel mensen en vooral kinderen komen hoort helemaal rookvrij te zijn.

    (Translated by Google) Lovely place to swim. It's okay that you have to pay for it. What I think is a shame are the 2 possibilities to enter. Could have been more. The checks on tickets bought online were checked by employees. Fortunately, that goes much faster than through the entrance gates. Great action. (Original) Heerlijke plek om te zwemmen. Dat je er voor moet betalen is niet erg. Wat ik wel jammer vind zijn de 2 mogelijkheden om binnen te komen. Hadden er meer mogen zijn. De controle op kaartjes die online gekocht waren werden gecontroleerd door medewerkers. Dat gaat gelukkig veel sneller dan door de toegangspoortjes. Prima actie.

    (Translated by Google) Nice lake, but the province of Utrecht has sold it to a commercial company that will completely ruin it with high entrance fees. I doubt it will work. The lake is poorly maintained. You cannot swim in the middle because of all the weeds that grow to the surface of the water. (Original) Mooi meer, maar de provincie Utrecht heeft het verkocht aan een commercieel bedrijf die het helemaal gaat verpesten met hoge entreeprijzen. Ik betwijfel of het gaat werken. Het meer wordt slecht onderhouden. In het midden kun je niet zwemmen door al het wier dat tot aan het wateroppervlak groeit.

    (Translated by Google) The beach and bathing water are fine. Lots of space except for toilet cubicles, but certainly too little space in the parking lot. Almost impossible to drive off without damage. Also a lot of wrongly parked cars so that one direction made no sense .... (Original) Het strand en zwemwater prima. Veel ruimte behalve bij wc hokjes maar zeker veeeeel te weinig ruimte op parkeerterrein. Bijna niet zonder schade weg te rijden. Ook veel fout geparkeerde auto's waardoor 1 richting geen zin had....

    Despite the Covid19 epidemic this place is full of people. The website says there is a limited number of available tickets. I just can't imagine how crowded it would be without the limits. Nevertheless a nice place to spend a summer day with children. The water is relatively shallow (up to 2,2m) and the sand really soft and clean.

    I am going there almost every day. Quite good food and perfect service! Thank you! Recommended 👍

    33 EUR = 1 hour of wakeboarding (including renting gear) = 4 attempts and 55 minutes standing in line. Surely if you know how to do it you might worth for your money, but all beginner in my group didn't manage to get a full round (and most didn't get further than 2/3 meters). Both for wake boarding and water skiiing. Would not recommend

    A perfect place to have a cafe/drink or something to eat by the lake! A nice addition to the already beautiful scenery of Utrecht. Nice variety of beers and decent choices of food!

    Went Supping there and it was amazing. Great guys who helped us and gave us beginngers instructions, great eyperience.5 stars for them! The restaurant on the otherhand was very dissapointing. Had to wait 45 until a waitress came to ask if we were helped already. In the meanwhile we had to get ourselves the menus because we were completely ignored. We saw our neighbour table getting served, having food and leaving before anyone came to us. Even though we did tell them that we were waiting for 30 minutes already it took then another 15mins to actually show up at our table. Not even cutlery was brought to us. Food was average.

    Lovely place, friendly personnel, and great food. We ate there with the family and enjoyed fish, burger and a saté dish. My wife loved the vegetables with the fish and my son loved his first kangaroo steak. (That was indeed a really nice dish!). Highly recommended!

    Location is nice for a sunny day, but the food is best case average. Farmer’s omelet was very bad.

    Excellent place , less public on weekend but a good picnic spot . Waiting to go there again in summer .

    On average, nice place for a swim. But life guards are a bit lazy, they closed down the place on a sunday when it was nice weather for a swim but they considered there were too few people at the beach. Sometimes even at 25 degrees, the beach is closed. Softdrinks and ice cream are slighly over priced. Cleaning at the end of the day is okay.

    5 euros for entrance to the beach. Dirty toilets and unfortunately crazy expensive ice-cream as well. I'd rather take a dive in the canals of Utrecht for free.

    We went here for dinner. I digged the atmosphere in the building and my daughter liked the design and the shark heads on the wall. Over the evening we were helped by a lot of different staff, and although ordering went quickly and smooth, the impressions they gave was as if they all started this week: Didn't remember the monthly specials, one spilled a drink over my wife, another one dropped glasses in the bar area.. came very clumsy across. The main dishes were nice, the desserts a bit underwhelming. The kids menu had a large salad on the side which didn't look very appetising. I also found it weird they gave one small fries and one small side salad for 4 people. All in all a decent evening but wouldn't drag my family here again probably.

    The food was ok, however for my taste a lil bit bland and portions were really small but that's a common thing in the Netherlands. Service and dishes presentation were totally fine, also the surroundings.

    Passed by on a very rainy biking day and found a warm and friendly atmosphere with good coffee. Service well organized and friendly staff. Mixed menu with snack type sandwiches and dishes from the east and west. Vegan and vegetarian choices, so that was great. The restaurant belongs to a larger outdoor sport centre which we unfortunately could not try due to the heavy rain. There are a beach and water ski options, but probably also bootcamp type outdoor activities. We ate two vegan croquettes on bread. Got a bit of salad with it and went back into the rain.

    I enjoyed wakeboarding in Down Under. Employees were very friendly, kindly explained me in English the rules and gave me advices how to start waterboarding. I went there without reservation and were able to find a free spot for wakeboarding and bodysurfing.

    Ok good, but the menu is not special. Also overpriced. 20 euro for a hamburger without fries.
