You will stay in a cottage in the middle of fields and the forest. The cottage is for maximum 3 workawayers. So if you come alone, you will probably live a nice experience with other workawayers. There is a wood-burning stove, to keep the cottage warm and relaxing. It's often the opportunity to perform the "fire-making-skills" or to learn it 😉
There is no water in the cottage. You can take showers at our place and we provide water bottles for the cottage. There is also no electricity. We will furnish lights ans candles. You can charge your smartphone at our place, but we don't have enough electricity to charge your computer. Staying at our place is the right place to switch of internet and to reconnect yourself with mother earth.
From June - September it doesn't freeze anymore in Belgium. Than you can also come with your tent or we can give you one.
If you come, please take ecological soap with you to respect the area and biodiversity in our place. You will need waterproof shoes and old working clothes.
We cook and eat vegetarian and organic together, it's always a pleasure.
From home, many trails would bring you to marvellous area, such as the Millennium tower (234 steps for a great view) or the beaver pound.
By car or bycicle, you could also visit the local brewery, a hawkfarm, a bison ranch, middle-aged castle, the Hans cave,...
You are 10 minutes walking (1-2km) from a little shop, a bakery, a pharmacy, a butchery and a bar. The next little town (Gedinne) is 6 km far away. There is a library, a tourist information center and free WiFi.
