Burgemeestershof

Private wellness with an overnight stay

Private wellness with an overnight stay, 15 minutes from Ghent

No shared sauna, no strangers shuffling past in bathrobes. You book the entire wellness complex for the two of you, for 2.5 hours, and sleep afterwards in one of the six rooms of the Burgemeestershof in Massemen near Wetteren.

What you are actually booking

Our wellness is not a facility you share with the other guests. Each session, the entire complex is assigned to one party: you close the door behind you and nobody else joins. That lasts 2.5 hours, from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.

In practice that means walking from the heated indoor pool to the sauna, and from the jacuzzi to the massage chairs, without waiting anywhere or running into anyone. Guests used to wellness hotels notice the silence most.

The session is for guests aged 16 and over. Towels are provided — two per person; bring your own slippers and bathrobe, or add bathrobe hire to your booking.

Why the wellness is booked separately

Because the complex is reserved exclusively for one party at a time, it cannot simultaneously stand open to every guest staying the night. The wellness is therefore not included in the room rate and is not freely accessible during your stay — you reserve a time slot, much as you would book a table at a restaurant.

That is also exactly why it works: you are paying for privacy, not for access. If you are staying with us, you pay €179 instead of €199.

Where you end up

The Burgemeestershof stands in Massemen, a village belonging to Wetteren, among the meadows at the edge of the Scheldt water meadows. By car you are in Ghent in fifteen minutes and in Brussels in half an hour; the E40 motorway is close by.

The entrance to the B&B is around the corner, on the Kortenbosstraat. The mansion on the Kriephoekstraat is our private home. Parking is free on our own grounds, with a charging point for electric cars (bring your own charging card) and one for e-bikes.

FAQ

Can I use the wellness without reserving?

No. The complex is assigned to one party per session, so a time slot is always needed. Without a reservation the wellness is either taken by someone else or closed.

How many people can join?

The price covers two people. Extra guests are €40 per person, up to the capacity of the space. Guests are welcome from the age of 16.

When can I come?

There are sessions from morning to evening, on weekdays too. Available slots appear in the calendar on the booking page — the popular Friday and Saturday hours go first.

What should I bring?

We provide towels, two per person. Bring your own slippers and a bathrobe, or add bathrobe hire while booking. Swimwear is not required — you are on your own.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. A voucher for a wellness session, an overnight stay or both can be ordered online; the recipient picks their own date.
