THE ROOMS
The Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles room
View pictures
This room brings you back to the time when 'The British Empire' controlled the oceans and still celebrated class, style and civilization.
The world oceans you will not find here. However, all the other beauties as well as the wonderful beautiful ‘Zwalm’ river valley are awaiting your arrival.
The Marco Polo room

Forget all the effort and time to book and take the Transsiberian express.
You just as easily arrive in mysterious Eastern spheres on foot, by bicyle, by car or by bus (from Zottegem). And the most beautiful landscape of Flanders you get for free.
The Sheherazade room
View pictures
The entire fragile beauty of a thousand and one night is unveiled for you, but with a local beer and dish instead of swords and daggers.
The Sir Thomas Raffles Room is located on the ground floor.
The Marco Polo Room and Sheherazade's Room are located on the first floor.
What does Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove and surroundings offer?
For those who want busy amusement parks, nightclubs, water slides, souvenir shops full of rubbish and questionable catering: NOTHING. Don't bother.
However, for those who want authentic village life, winding paths, wide views and challenging slopes: WELCOME.
Add to that an earthy meal prepared from local products, a locally brewed beer or our own wine, and you're in the right place with us.
Time runs slower and friendlier here in line with the village itself.
Welcome to Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove, not by the sea.
But of course there is a lot more:
- Obviously cycling and walking
- There are plenty of cycling races (for those who want to be fast) or you can test your own stamina on the nearby ‘Berendries’, a famous Flemish cycling ‘mountain’
- Local Pubs, some with folk games from times gone by
- The 1st carnival of the year starts in Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove, Rio De Janeiro is nothing like it
- Farmers, farmer's wives, farmer's sons, farmer's daughters, farmhands, farmer's grandchildren, etc. And their animals.
- Museum of Romans, Gauls and other weirdos, with occasional real gladiators beating each other or the Romans. Asterix, eat your heart out.
- Markets, old and new, and anything in between for what you may not need.
- Sing Epiphany, so beautiful that it brings tears to your eyes
- Culinary: from a slice of bread to heavenly refinement
- We also have a bunch of beautiful castles in Zottegem, Rock, Jazz and Blues festivals and if you're lucky there might be something on at the movie theatre.
- We have vineyards, frogs, salamanders, trees, streams, lovely people (and one grumpy one) and above all we have a "warm welcome, have a seat, have a drink and enjoy Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove not by the sea, we are happy that you are here"
