What if you spent your next weekend on a lake?
Forget classic hotels, standardised bed & breakfasts and impersonal rentals. In Gironde, in Sablons, Dahu Wake Park offers an experience you will remember for a long time: sleeping in a floating chalet on a private 3-hectare lake.
Picture this: you arrive on Friday evening, you drop your bags in a chalet resting on the water, you settle on the terrace with a glass of Saint-Émilion, and you watch the sun set over the lake. The weekend has barely begun, and it is already unforgettable.
Our floating chalets are a rarity in south-west France. Sleeping on the water, without moving, without engine noise — it is an experience that few unusual stays in France can offer with this level of privacy. Here, no facing neighbours: each chalet is your private bubble on the lake.
Whether you are looking for an unusual room near Bordeaux, an unusual stay in Gironde or simply a getaway to escape the everyday, the concept is the same: a whole chalet just for you, no neighbours next door, no hotel lobby. As a couple, also discover our unusual love room alternative in Gironde.
What makes this weekend unusual?
Sleep on the water
It is not a metaphor. Your bed literally rests on the lake. You are rocked by the lapping of the water. In the morning, you open the door and your feet are right at water level.
No facing neighbours
Each chalet is positioned so that you cannot see any other accommodation from your terrace. Just you, the lake and the forest.
A night under the stars
Lying on the terrace of your floating chalet, far from any light pollution, the starry sky is strikingly clear. Shooting stars guaranteed in August.
Wake up among the birds
Herons, kingfishers, moorhens... The lake is a refuge for birdlife. You wake up to a concert of birdsong.
Who is it for?
As a couple
A birthday, Valentine's Day, or simply the wish to reconnect in a magical setting.
As a family
Stars in the children's eyes. An adventure they will tell their friends about.
With friends
A fishing weekend, an original birthday, or a group to privatise the estate.

Frequently asked questions about our unusual weekends
Does the chalet really move?
Very slightly, like a moored boat. The movement is gentle and imperceptible for most people — it rocks, it does not shake.
Is the chalet heated?
Yes, all our chalets have heating. Unusual weekends can be enjoyed all year round, even in autumn or winter for a cosy atmosphere.
Are there private bathrooms?
Absolutely. Each chalet has its own shower room with a toilet. No shared facilities.
Can we enjoy the lake?
Swimming is not allowed, but you can enjoy the lake by paddleboard, float tube or inflatable canoe with a life jacket provided. The lake is clean, fed by natural springs.
