Rent a whole estate near Bordeaux, just for you
Looking for an estate to rent near Bordeaux for an event, a group weekend or a family reunion? Domaine du Dahu, in Sablons in the Gironde, is rented exclusively: a private 3-hectare lake among the trees, a gîte, five floating chalets, and nobody else but you.
No neighbours, no imposed schedules, no hotel to find for your guests: everyone sleeps on site. Birthday, hen party or seminar, this exclusive-hire venue in the Gironde adapts to your plans — all the details on the private hire page.
What can you rent the estate for?
Family reunion
Several generations together for a weekend: everyone has their own bed, everyone gathers for meals and walks around the lake.
Birthday & event
A 30th, 40th or 50th, a christening or another family celebration, in peace, with no time limits and no neighbours.
Weekend with friends, hen & stag parties
Get-togethers, a hen or stag party: the place all to yourselves, from Friday evening to Sunday.
Corporate seminar
A meeting, a study day or a seminar in the green: an equipped room, nature all around and on-site accommodation to bring your teams together.
What the estate rental includes
A little hamlet by the water: five floating chalets resting on the lake, the charming 170 m² gîte and an outdoor chalet with kitchenette. Up to 18 people sleep here in double beds (11 in single beds), each in their own space.
To get together, the 75 m² room, bright and equipped, hosts the meal, the drinks reception or the games. Right next to it, the covered terrace facing the lake shelters the aperitif when the weather hesitates. The accommodation is detailed on the floating chalets and gîte pages.
For meals, the kitchen is equipped and no supplier is imposed: you cook, or the caterer of your choice delivers. That is the whole spirit of an exclusive hire.
An estate to rent ideally located in the Gironde

Just as practical for a weekend with loved ones as for a corporate seminar.
