Common areas and services

The central heart and hearth of “Les Bois de l’Espérance” is the roundhouse which serves as a gathering place around the fire for meals or activities. Built with love using only materials from the surrounding woods, this natural green roofed structure creates a sense of a magical other world.

Adjacent is a fully equipped kitchen area with cedar benches and gas cooker, a dining pavilion with banqueting table and benches to seat twenty people, a nature museum to inspire you to explore, and rain water fed washing up and hand washing areas. There is a grill for cooking on the central fire or a barbecue. There are two sets of compost toilets and cabins for solar showers.

The fire circle

Underneath Grandfather Oak – the oldest tree in the woods – we have created another sheltered area for gathering around a fire. Ideal for story telling, songs, spiritual ceremonies, rites of passage or bush craft activities, the parachute brings a cosy ambiance and the majestic presence of the ancient oak tree holds the space.
