About Golden Lakes Village

Would you like a family holiday where the lake is practically on your doorstep? Golden Lakes Village occupies a superb lakeside position at Plate Taille Lake, part of the Eau d’Heure Lakes, Belgium’s largest lake complex. The village is surrounded by woodland and green countryside, creating a peaceful setting while still offering plenty to do. The accommodation is particularly well suited to families and groups who appreciate space. The village has around 200 fully equipped holiday villas, with options accommodating up to 12 people, making it especially attractive for families travelling with children, grandparents or friends. What can you do here? Quite a lot! The lakes provide opportunities for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, fishing and other watersports, while nearby Natura Parc offers treetop adventures and zip lines. There are also extensive walking and cycling routes around the lakes. For younger children, the combination of playgrounds, the lakeside beach and seasonal children's activities is particularly appealing. During summer, Golden Lakes organises Mini Club activities, family events and lakeside entertainment, with programmes updated through its app. And where do you eat? La Brasserie des Lacs offers a lakeside restaurant and terrace, with seasonal dishes, children's menus and vegetarian choices. Its kitchen currently operates daily for lunch and dinner. Recent Booking.com feedback particularly highlights the attractive location, spacious accommodation, cleanliness, lake access and suitability for active family holidays.

Surroundings

Golden Lakes Village sits beside Plate Taille Lake within the extensive Eau d’Heure Lakes complex. The surrounding landscape combines wooded hills, open meadows, lakeshores, gentle valleys and the bocage countryside of the Fagne. Walking and cycling routes wind through forests and around the water, while beaches, wetlands and protected natural areas provide excellent opportunities for outdoor family adventures.

“My advice is to choose Golden Lakes Village primarily for its location and outdoor lifestyle. This is a destination where the surrounding landscape is as important as the accommodation itself. Several recent guests have particularly appreciated the spacious villas, attractive setting, cleanliness and easy access to the lake, while families have highlighted how much there is to do nearby. If you are travelling with children, we would make the lake area a priority. The supervised bathing area at Plate Taille is only around 200 metres from Golden Lakes Village, and the combination of beach, water and outdoor activities makes it an easy choice for summer days. For active families, bring or hire bicycles if possible. The Eau d’Heure Lakes have extensive cycling opportunities, including routes around the lakes, while walkers can follow trails through the surrounding woodland and countryside. We also recommend booking popular activities ahead during the summer. Natura Parc, watersports and other attractions can become busy during school holidays, so planning one or two activities before arrival makes the holiday much easier. For meals, reserve La Brasserie des Lacs rather than simply turning up, particularly during July and August. The restaurant operates daily, but reservations are recommended. One practical point worth remembering: there is no full supermarket inside the village, so we advise doing your main grocery shopping before settling into your villa. The nearest larger supermarket is in Cerfontaine. Finally, check the Golden Lakes app during your stay for the latest children's activities, Mini Club events and lakeside entertainment. Summer programming changes, so the app is the best way to see what is happening during your particular week.”
