At Wongema , you can not only work but also stay overnight. Wongema was created for groups of workers, but also has a soft spot for day-trippers. A weekend away with friends? A family day out? Everyone is welcome. And Wongema is also a village pub with its own programme of events: music, films, food and parties. All this in the Groningen countryside, close to the Wadden Sea. At Wongema , anything is possible; ‘can’t’ doesn’t exist.
