“Absolutely fabulous place to stay. Great location near the centre of town, very easy to park (for free) close to the accomodation. Super communication with the host prior to the stay and a lovely warm welcome on arrival. "Room" does not describe...”

Originally from Ghent, I am an avid traveler, always keen to discover very different and wonderful places around the globe. Taking in the varied cultures, sights and food. The experience of being Booking host and meeting so many lovely people along the way, is really something I particularly enjoy. My main aim is to create a comfortable, relaxing and "home away from home" experience for guests. Responsible and respectful guests, who and how you are, are welcomed with open arms. My priority is to always be readily available and provide as much info and assistance as possible. All the things I value when traveling to somewhere new myself. I hope to welcoming you soon! :-)
Zele is a small town, centrally located between the 3 big cities Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. The surrounding green area is known for cycling and walking routes.
