In 2006 the site of Dordrecht's former drinking water company has been transformed into 1.5 hectares of (kitchen) gardens. The former pumping station (1942) now is a restaurant and the monumental water tower (1882) has become a hotel.

The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner in which predominantly organic products are used; right from the garden onto your plate! There is a bakery as well where sourdough bread, cakes and biscuits are made.

The informal atmosphere of the hotel makes you feel completely at home; as if you are staying with friends!
