A love room that truly breaks from the hotel routine
Looking for an affordable love room near Bordeaux or in Gironde? Dahu Wake Park, in Sablons, offers an alternative far more memorable than a hotel room: a private, romantic floating chalet, resting on a private 3-hectare lake, with no facing neighbours, 45 minutes from Bordeaux. A cheap love room, yes — but above all a genuine experience for two.
It is not a love room in the classic sense — no Jacuzzi under coloured spotlights, no red carpet. It is better: a whole chalet just for the two of you, with a terrace above the water, a sunset over the lake, and the absolute silence of nature.
Our entry price: €110/night in low season for the Boat Couple chalet. For the price of a hotel love room in Bordeaux, you get an unusual, intimate and natural stay — far more refreshing than a standard room.
The interior of the Premium Duo chalet: four-poster bed, warm wood and a cosy lounge — the love room spirit, nature edition.
Why it beats a classic love room
Total privacy, no facing neighbours
Unlike a hotel love room where you hear the neighbours, here your chalet stands alone on its spot. No noise, no prying eyes.
The luxury few love rooms offer: nature
You open the door in the morning and your feet are above the water. Herons, dragonflies, sunset over the lake. Far more refreshing than carpet.
From €110/night (in low season)
A classic love room in Bordeaux often costs €130 to €250 a night. Here, we start at €110/night for the Boat Couple — private chalet included.
45 minutes from Bordeaux
Sablons, in Gironde, 45 min from Bordeaux and 30 min from Saint-Émilion. Far enough to switch off, close enough for an evening.
Not a hotel — a whole chalet just for you
No reception hall, no corridors, no shared breakfast. You are the masters of the place from check-in to check-out.
Surprise options available
Champagne, flowers, birthday decoration — tell us when you book and we prepare everything before you arrive.

Frequently asked questions about our love room alternative
Is it really a love room?
No, not literally — our chalets have no private Jacuzzi or themed decor. What we offer is better: an unusual, private stay, on the water, with no facing neighbours. A more authentic, more refreshing and often cheaper experience than a hotel love room in Bordeaux.
How much does it cost exactly?
The Boat Couple chalet starts at €110/night on a weekday in low season. The Premium Duo, larger and more comfortable, at €135/night. Rates vary by season — see the 2026 / 2027 calendar.
Can we come for just one night?
The minimum stay is 2 nights for most of the year (3 nights in the summer peak season). Contact us to check availability for your dates.
Can you arrange a surprise (bouquet, champagne, decoration)?
Yes — let us know your request when booking. We can prepare the chalet before you arrive: flowers, a chilled bottle of champagne, birthday decoration, a personalised message. That is what makes the experience unforgettable.
Is it open all year round?
Yes. Every chalet is heated. The low season (November to March) is particularly intimate and attractively priced. Nature is calmer and the sunsets are striking.
Are there other affordable love rooms near Bordeaux?
For the price (€110/night for a private chalet on a lake), few comparable offers exist in south-west France. We sit at the crossroads of romantic, unusual and affordable — a rare combination for a romantic getaway in Gironde.
The perfect Valentine's Day combo
A night in a floating chalet + a day in Saint-Émilion (tasting grands crus, medieval streets). The gift idea that hits the mark, from €110/night.
