Koru Hôtel & Private Wellness is a charming 3* boutique hotel located between Namur, Hannut and Jodoigne, in Wallonia, Belgium. It's a marvellous place for families and the senses. Don't miss the Japanese garden, unique in Belgium (where you can eat in summer!) and the private spa. Watch our immersive on-site video.

Mention Let's Go My Love when booking on our partner's official website and enjoy a double benefit: -5% on your stay and an extra 30 minutes free in the spa if your session takes place from Tuesday to Thursday. Look at this picture to see where to mention us. The -5% is deducted at check-out.

We had the opportunity to spend an almost perfect night at Koru. The experience totally exceeded our already high expectations... Wow. What we liked best: everything. This really is the kind of hotel we could talk about for hours, because the owners understand what makes guests happy.

Tip: take an all-inclusive package. It's cheaper and you don't have to worry about how your stay is going to go. Everything is organized in advance, and you'll receive your hour-by-hour program as soon as you arrive: breakfast, a session in the whirlpool bath, a stroll in the garden, a private spa, a duo massage and a restaurant in the evening, for example. It's so relaxing to let yourself go.

The common thread running through the hotel is an extensive trip made between 2009 and 2010 by Bernadette (the Dutch-born owner) to Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The "Koru" project took 5 years to complete, from the architect's first pencil strokes, to location research, building construction and choice of materials.

Bernadette was born in the South of France, in the Cévennes region. After moving to Belgium in 1999, she fell under the spell of Brabant's Hesbaye region, in particular the village of Autre-Église. Stéphane, on the other hand, is originally from Tienen and grew up in the hotel and catering industry. He joined Koru in 2016. The great complicity of the early days quickly turned into lasting love.

Today, the couple welcomes you in French, Dutch, English or German. We love this mix: a certain Germanic rigor combined with true Latin warmth. The best of 2 worlds?

There are 7 bedrooms:

Depending on the room you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: comfortable king-size bed, private bathroom, welcome products from Thémaé, Nespresso coffee machine, private terrace, air conditioning, Smart TV, mini-bar, bathrobes, slippers, flip-flops and a switch to turn off all the lights at once.

The hotel spa can be reserved for 1.5-hour periods. It's included if you book a package. If you book a single room or come from outside, the price is €50 for 1h30. You'll enjoy the following facilities: Finnish sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi out of sight, steam room, ice waterfall, aromatic shower and lounge area. We tried it out and it's really very pleasant and well-maintained, nothing to say.

Looking for an even more premium experience? Add a 60-minute duo massage, a 45-minute session in the private XXL whirlpool bath, or even a formula we love: appetizer/dinner in the restaurant at 6:45pm, followed by an evening session in the spa from 8:30-10pm and... desserts served in the spa at 10pm. Just perfect.

From Tuesday to Saturday evenings, the restaurant invites you to savor refined cuisine featuring local, seasonal produce. In an elegant, subdued setting, enjoy a delicious 3-course menu. Everything is so fresh and lovingly prepared. Be sure to try the herb-crusted lamb fillet. And as for the wine: we really liked the "Terre Ronde".

From Wednesday to Sunday, à la carte breakfast is served (reservation required) in the dining room from 8:30am to 10:30am. On the menu: eggs of your choice, crêpes, delicious viennoiseries, a selection of rolls, a fine selection of charcuterie, cheeses, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, homemade jams, spreads and garden honey.

But the real wonder of the hotel is its garden. It's worth the detour both during the day and at nightfall, when the garden is illuminated. The Japanese section, with its waterfalls and rare plants, is a real gem. This is by far the most beautiful garden on Let's Go My Love.

When the weather's fine, opt for an exclusive dinner in the garden. There are 7 tables available. But they're not all in one place - they're scattered all over the garden, for total privacy. Here's a photo of the experience. Each area has its own seating area for aperitifs and a gas fire near the table. An incredibly romantic atmosphere, especially at sunset.

Koru Hotel & Private Wellness is located in the village of Autre Eglise, in Brabant Wallon, Belgium. There are many walking trails in the area, including the "Promenade des Glaneurs", which loops around the village for almost 10 kilometers. For those who enjoy cycling, the hotel has a convenient, secure bicycle garage.
