Nestled around several lakes and wooded areas sits a series of log cabin style accommodations. No cars are allowed on site so we attempt to compartmentalise our luggage for the month and bring only what we need for these three days! Multiple trips back to the car to collect forgotten items follow!
Kids View Part I
Our favourite part is having our own bedroom upstairs and our own private terrace with deck chairs with no adults allowed!
The site is clean, spacious and quiet (we can’t quite work out where all the people staying here are?!) The kids absolutely love bombing it around on the paths on their bikes, narrowly avoiding golf carts! They also love the tree house style accommodation and have 1st night excitement about sharing a bed (not sure I’ll be saying that on day 28!)
There’s a central area with a large pool, table tennis, padel courts and playground. There’s also a trattoria selling cakes, pizzas and eye wateringly expensive groceries…€16 euros for a charcuterie packet!
Weather is borderline apocalyptic on day 1 but we don our wet weather gear and enjoy the bikes and the pool. Day 2 the weather improves and we get in some tennis, a round of mini golf and lots more cycling.
Kids View Part II
We love going to the pool and doing the inflatable obstacle course and the slides!
The pool was enjoyed by the kids but having to push them on to the giant inflatable takeshis castle style course became a little tedious. A personal highlight was trying to ask the group of lifeguards for a net to fish the sinky out of the deep end which resulted in them thinking we wanted them to jump in and get it (of which they did)!
We took a sunset ride around the canal but turns out it was quite long so we dived back into the resort and biked back through the woods much to the pleasure of the kids who had voted for a woodland bike anyway!
Overall it’s a lovely chilled start to our adventure. The resort is a step up from centre parcs in terms of accommodation but with less activities on site. Seems to also be staffed solely by teenagers and the whole resort could do with some management oversight….if only to change a few lightbulbs!
Packing up coincided with a torrential rain storm making the start of the journey feel like a gentle summer sprinkle. Turns out it rains a lot in Belgium. All successfully packed up we were on our way.
Right kids that’s your fun had for a few days, next stop Epernay where it’s the grown ups turn!
Our roadtrip across Europe with kids!
