AquaLodge is a fantastic, unusual 3* hotel located in the Molignée valley, south of Namur in Wallonia, Belgium. It's a natural estate with 8 luxurious chalets built around a private pond. It's a little gem for those who love an original couple's getaway. Take a look at our on-site video to immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

Mention Let's Go My Love during booking on our partner's official website to receive a welcome gift left for you in your lodge. Look at this image to see where to mention us. It also works by phone or Whatsapp, no problem.

We have visited AquaLodge on 2 occasions and have been lucky enough to spend the night each time. It's always a particularly pleasant experience. Our lodge was perfectly clean, well located and even better than on the photos. The management is very professional and the online reviews are unanimous.

You arrive on site via a small country road. There is a private parking lot. The team (often Elien) is on hand every day from 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm to welcome you and show you around your chalet. Communication is fluent in French, Dutch (Elien is a Dutch speaker!) and English. If you arrive later, there's a secure box so you can enter your chalet on your own.

When you reach your chalet, you'll discover a large natural pond around which 8 stilted lodges have been built. Each lodge has its own unique name. The cottages are well separated, and your privacy is perfectly preserved. The last lodge, a roulotte, is located a little further back, on dry land.

Here are the 9 lodges:

1 - Le Frisson d'Eau - 2 private terraces, bath, south-east facing - From 225€/night - Photo - 🌊
2 - Le Songe des Étangs - Small chalet annex, shower, south-west facing - From 250€/night - Photo - 🍃
3 - Le Rêve du Nénuphar - Bathtub, southwest facing - From 190€/night - Photo - 🌿
4 - Le Secret de la Libellule - Small cottage annex, southwest facing - From 250€/night - Photo - 🦋
5 - Le Murmure de l'Écrevisse - Wooden bathtub, northwest facing - From 190€/night - Photo - 🦞
6 - La Balade du Cygne - Wooden bathtub, northwest facing - From 250€/night - Photo - 🦢
7 - Le Sourire de la Grenouille - Shower, northwest facing - From 225€/night - Photo - 🐸
8 - Le Nid de la Sarcelle - Wooden bathtub, northwest facing - From 225€/night - Photo - 🦆
9 - La RouLodge du Veilleur - Breathtaking view of the sunset - From 149€/night - Photo - 🌻

With the exception of the roulotte, the lodges are broadly similar. So don't worry too much when choosing. The main difference is whether you have a shower or a bathtub. It's up to you. They all have private terraces and are oriented to admire the sunset, with the exception of the Frisson d'Eau, which is oriented to admire the sunrise.

Depending on your choice, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, comfortable armchairs, toilet, small private kitchen, wooden shower or bathtub, TV, wifi and a glass floor that lets you see the water and the fish. Wood and fur are used throughout, creating a warm, cocooning atmosphere.

Tip: don't overfill the bathtub, as the quantity of hot water is limited to around 100 liters, enough to fill the bathtub to capacity. But during our stay, we made the mistake of filling the tub almost completely, and the water became cold after a while.

When it rains or snows, the atmosphere in the lodge is very pleasant. All lodges have a wood-burning stove with everything you need to start a fire: kindling, firelighters and logs. There are also plaids, umbrellas, a Dyson electric heater, an electric kettle with tea provided, a coffee machine with coffee provided and a TV with Proximus TV provided and Netflix via your own subscription.

All cottages have a covered outdoor terrace where you can enjoy an aperitif or breakfast in the morning with the calm of the water and the singing of the birds. There are no mosquitoes that can get inside your cottage because they are chased away by other insects that live on the pond.

There are extras:

- Le Prince de l'Étang" breakfast with pastries, bread, jam, fruit juice, dairy products and fruit (34€ for 2 people)
- Reine Libellule" breakfast with, in addition to the Prince de l'Étang, eggs, bacon, dream pastries and even... bubbles! (€50 for 2 people)
- Aperitif basket with delicious local produce, good local beers and delicious Maredsous cheese (24€ for 2 people)
- Festin des Lucioles" meal tray with several hot and cold culinary creations, such as smoked salmon or foie gras. A dessert is also included (70€ for 2 people).
- Selection of wines and bubbles in your minibar: take what you like and pay as you go.
- Massage session: 30 min or 60 min massage directly in your chalet, only 1 person at a time, not possible in the roulotte, to be booked at least 48 hours in advance (from 75€)

The area is full of activities to do and impressive places to see. It is possible to rent a bicycle to go for a walk. We advise you to visit the Abbey of Maredsous at only 10 minutes by car. It is the second most visited place in Wallonia after Pairi Daiza. Exceptional setting, beautiful terrace and great serenity. Beer and cheese at the top!
