How the Watertoren online booking calendar works
Step 1: Open the calendar
Head to the official website and open the booking section for Watertoren Duin & Bosch. You’ll see a monthly calendar where you can select your preferred dates.
Step 2: Read the legend
The calendar uses a simple legend to clarify what each date means. You may see:
- Aankomstdag (Arrival Day): Indicates valid start dates for your stay.
- Geselecteerd (Selected): Shows the dates you have actively picked.
- Niet beschikbaar (Not available): Dates that can’t be booked.
Tip: If your first choice is not available, try nearby dates or consider weekday stays to enjoy the Doordeweeks Weekend vibe—peaceful nature, quieter restaurants, and the same breathtaking views.
Step 3: Choose your dates
Click your arrival date, then your departure date. The calendar will highlight your selected range. Because the suite is designed for a single couple with a kingsize bed on a floating mezzanine, there’s no complex room selection—this is your private design hotel, just for you.
Step 4: Look for available offers
When a promotion applies, you’ll see a note like “Book your 2nd night with 50% off.” Consider adding a second night to savour sunsets and sunrises from 33 metres up.
Step 5: Confirm your reservation
Proceed to confirm your booking. After reserving, you’ll receive instructions for reception-less check-in so you can arrive smoothly from 15:00 and enjoy a late check-out until 12:00.
Understanding availability at a glance
To help you scan faster, here’s a concise reference:
- Arrival Day (Aankomstdag): Valid starting dates.
- Selected (Geselecteerd): Your chosen dates.
- Not available (Niet beschikbaar): Unbookable dates.
If your preferred weekend is not available, try a weekday stay. The Doordeweeks Weekend concept lets you enjoy panoramic calm while the world works—ideal for relaxed breakfasts, unhurried walks, and a quiet suite all to yourselves.
Plan the perfect dates: practical tips
- Chase the calm: Weekdays amplify the suite’s serenity and make nearby restaurants and trails even more relaxed.
- Time it with seasonal perks (April–October): If you love wellness or racket sports, visit Camping Bakkum for the sauna, gym, padel, and tennis—all free of charge during camping season with advance reservation via reception.
- Celebrate special mornings: Breakfasts get extra festive touches on Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Christmas—a lovely reason to align your dates.
- Explore right from the door: Step into the Noordhollands Duinreservaat for extensive walking and cycling routes; beaches are close by. Use the two included bikes to roam the dunes and coastline.
- Dine within walking distance: Stroll to several nearby restaurants, including Grand Café De Oude Keuken (DOK) directly behind the tower. A one‑star Michelin restaurant is also located a short distance away.
- Make it a gift: If you’re booking for someone else, consider the Gift Card—it arrives in a beautiful package with a video of the tower and suite and can include a personalised video message.
What to expect after you book
