/ Location, location, location // The Henleykaai is located in a very nice location right on the Blijlokesite and the Leie and within cycling distance of city centre and the station Gent Sint-Pieters. The water, the wide cycling and hiking trails and the open views make this a pleasant place to live.
From the Henleykaai walk or bike to the center of Ghent and the Tation Gent-Sint-Pieters. Nearby tram and bus stops ensure that you move effortlessly through Ghent without a car. In addition, the location of the Henleykaai is particularly strategic. Via the R4, E17 and E40 you can quickly reach the main highways towards Brussels, Antwerp and the coast.
Also for daily shopping you never have to go far. In the immediate vicinity you will find Delhaze Water Sports Course, Carrefour Market, local bakers and local shops. In addition, the shops and catering shops around the Sint-Pietersstation and the Kortrijksesteenweg provide a wide range of nearby houses. For students, the proximity to Ghent University and the various colleges makes this an extremely interesting location.
And like every neighborhood, this neighborhood has its own must-do hotspots. For a coffee, lunch or aperitif we like to send you to the STAM Café, located on the beautiful Bijlokesite. With its sunny terrace and unique historical setting, this is one of those places where Gentenaars like to hang out. Whether you meet friends, come to work or enjoy a quiet afternoon, here you can taste the special atmosphere that characterises this neighborhood. The Bijlokesite itself is one of the most beautiful pieces of Ghent. This historical site brings heritage, culture and relaxation together in one place. Between the centuries-old buildings, green courtyards and cozy squares you will find the STAM, concert hall De Bijloke and various cultural initiatives. It is a place where history and city life flow together nicely. Within walking distance you can still find Cozette The place for delicious, recognizable and simple dishes. And the coffee is really good!
