About this property
FULLY EQUIPPED SAFARI LODGE TENT IN LUSH FOREST
Our Safari Lodge tent is nestled in the heart of one of our wild forests on our 15 hectare estate. With a surface area of 1 hectare of lush greenery, this forest will be all yours and you will feel as if you are alone in the world as everything here is calm and delightful. In the morning you will be awakened by the singing of the birds and in the evening you will surely be surprised to see the roe deer whose curiosity has led them to you.
A LARGE BELL TENT The tent is 20 square metres in size and is firmly harnessed to a 45 square metre terrace overlooking the landscape. The tensioners have been kept to a minimum to leave more space around the tent but also to avoid the ropes which often prove to be an obstacle. The tent consists of a main room with a large comfortable sofa bed and two single beds. There is a large chest for your belongings and a coffee table for tea. The tent can accommodate 4 PEOPLE plus a baby. A cot is provided on request.
ADVENTURE WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON COMFORT The tent is ELECTRICATED by solar energy with Lithium batteries for a long duration even if the sun is not shining. The canvas is 300mg/m2 and is waterproof. The floor is entirely covered with Sisal for maximum comfort and better insulation. For autumn and winter, the tent has a WOOD STOVE.
KITCHEN, BATHROOM and TOILET AT THE TERRACE Outside on the terrace you will find a fully equipped kitchen area with fridge, gas hob, sink with hot water and plenty of storage space for crockery, pots and pans and kitchen utensils. For your meals, you will have at your disposal a beautiful table and chairs made with love by the master of the house who also built entirely with his hands all this accommodation and this with recycled materials. The very original shower has HOT WATER with a nomadic water heater. In order to preserve nature and save water, we have opted for dry toilets, the particularity of which is that they produce compost which is then reused in our vegetable garden. Contrary to what one might think, there is no smell and hygiene is optimal given the sawdust used for this purpose.
A LARGE TERRACE OVERLOOKING THE LANDSCAPE. The tent is placed on a wooden terrace of 45 square metres. You will find a coffee table with armchairs for your aperitifs and your long summer evenings in which you will be able to admire the billions of stars that punctuate the night sky. For the night, you will have the pleasure of being illuminated by pretty garlands with solar energy.
EVERYTHING IS PROVIDED FOR YOU No need to bring your own sheets and towels. You will find cosy sleeping bags under the sofa's trunk. A sleeping bag for two is provided for mum and dad. Towels are also provided. Extra blankets are also available for cooler nights.
100% biodegradable TOILET PRODUCTS. We have also chosen to provide you with your own toiletries. As is often the case in the countryside, we are not connected to the waste water network and therefore have a septic tank. The shampoos and shower gels as well as the washing-up liquid are 100% biodegradable in order to respect the surrounding nature.
IDEAL FOR A FAMILY HOLIDAY - A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE IN THE WILDERNESS. Whether it's for a holiday or a nature break, this 20 square metre tent will accommodate your family and provide you with all the comfort you need while being in the middle of the forest. It has a small fully equipped kitchen adjoining the terrace, with a fridge and freezer, a gas cooker and plenty of storage space, as well as a table and chairs for your meals. The shower will delight you, as its semi-transparent partition is open to a landscape of trees. You will have the impression of washing in the middle of nature, but still respecting your privacy. You will also find on the terrace a relaxation area with a bench and seats for your aperitifs or to observe with the naked eye the vaporous arms of our beautiful Milky Way galaxy at night. A breathtaking spectacle!
THE PLUS And why not treat yourself to a 100% fresh breakfast during your stay, including homemade butter? Your hosts Marie and Bernard will be happy to bring it to you in a copious basket. Breakfast from 15 euro - Free for children under 6 years old.
There are no neighbours. You will feel as if you are alone in the world in the middle of the trees, with only the birds or the curious deer as your companions.

Deuxième séjour dans cette magnifique tente et moment toujours aussi magique. On a l'impression d'être seuls au monde avec tout le confort. Les lits sont confortables et les hôtes sont adorables et disponibles, merci encore pour l'accueil !
Superbe endroit au milieu de la forêt. Nous avons été accueilli par le maître des lieux très sympathique et à l’écoute. Nous avons super bien dormi avec l’orage et la pluie. Nous sommes ravis de cette expérience

Merci Monique et Patrice, je suis ravi que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour dans notre tente isolée en pleine forêt. Par temps d'orage en plus, ça réveille le côté 'animal' en nous. Frôler le danger, en avoir l'illusion du moins puisqu'on sait que l'on ne risque rien finalement ( On est tout de même assez loin du niveau de danger de la jungle africaine ou amazonienne. Tous les animaux sauvages ayant élu domicile dans notre forêt sont à l'unanimité 100% vegetariens). Voilà des émotions qui remettent sur les rails un Homme (et une femme par conséquent aussi puisque j'ai utilisé une majuscule ici.) , en ces temps où beaucoup d'entre nous sont endormis dans leur confort, dans leur (non) aventure sans aucun risque. Je garde un excellent souvenir de vous deux et vous souhaite tous deux une belle aventure dans la vie.
Nous avons passé deux jours merveilleux dans ce petit coin de paradis en pleine nature. Les enfants ont adoré écouter le chant des oiseaux, observer les étoiles et la voie lactée. Les hôtes ont été adorables. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir !
