Parking

There is room for one car in the driveway. No problem if you come with two cars, in the street there is almost always the possibility of free parking (which is quite unique in Ghent).


Access to the house
You can enter the house thanks to the code you received. This code is only valid during your stay. Make sure you have everything with you when you check out. The code keyboard is located on the left side of the entrance door. Just enter your 6 digits, you may not press the arrow after entering your 6 digits as this will lock the door again.
We are passionate hosts and, while we're typically abroad during your stay, we're always available to help, and we stay in touch digitally. We've created a comprehensive digital guidebook for the house and our local recommendations, and we're always ready to assist with any specific requests or needs you may have. If required, our co-host Iris, who lives nearby, can also reach out or take over communications. Check-in is entirely self-managed, and we generally check in with you shortly after your arrival to ensure everything is fine. For longer stays, we may get in touch to arrange maintenance tasks such as hot tub upkeep, watering plants, or changing beds. We're here to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.


Minut decibel sensor
In our commitment to ensure your stay is both safe and comfortable, we've equipped our property with a Minut security device. This Airbnb-approved, privacy-focused device helps us maintain a serene environment. It monitors noise levels, temperature, and humidity to optimize your stay. Rest assured, it doesn't record conversations. If your celebrations take a joyful turn, the device might just send you a friendly reminder to keep the noise down. Safety, comfort, and fun - that's what we aim for!


Security Cameras
Your peace of mind is our priority. We've installed two security cameras on the premises, one on the driveway for added safety, and another in the garage. The latter is there to check up on our furry friends - the cats - who have unrestricted access to the garage. No need to worry, this is the only indoor area with a camera, and your privacy in the rest of the house is undisturbed.


Safety for Kids
Our property is family-friendly and offers several amenities designed for younger guests. However, we kindly ask that children are supervised at all times, particularly when enjoying the upstairs hardwood terrace, hot tub, and sauna area. The upstairs terrace is a delightful spot to take in the surroundings, but please note it's kept open without railings on the garden side to maintain an open feel. As we always say - safety first, then relaxation! With adult supervision, we ensure that all our guests, big and small, have a safe and enjoyable stay.

Fantastic Belgian Hideaway
Review for Shantay Hideaway in Ghent Our stay at Shantay Hideaway in Ghent was fabulous. This charming and quirky accommodation is a true gem, offering a perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the unique and creative decor that gives the space so much character. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making this hideaway both stylish and welcoming. The facilities are top-notch, with standout features including a luxurious hot tub and a soothing sauna. These were perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. The attention to detail in providing everything you might need during your stay is impressive. The location is another major plus. Being close to the tram line made it incredibly easy to get around Ghent and explore all the wonderful sights the city has to offer. Despite being so well-connected, the hideaway itself remains a peaceful retreat, giving us the best of both worlds. Finally, the hosts were fantastic. Communication was seamless from start to finish. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great stay. Their local tips and recommendations added a special touch to my visit. Overall, Shantay Hideaway is a delightful place to stay. Whether you’re in Ghent for a short visit or a longer stay, we highly recommend it. We can’t wait to return!

About the host

Host profile image
We are Esteban and Jeroen, an adventurous couple who share a passion for traveling and offering unique experiences to our fellow humans. Our home is the heart of our lives and exudes a wanderlust atmosphere. We have a deep love for the golden sixties, which is also reflected in our interior and record collection!

Why they chose this property

We chose Ghent because, in our opinion, it is the best city in Belgium. Both of us studied here, and despite coming from the countryside, Ghent has an irresistible magnetic charm that draws people in. It's a city that not only captivates students who come to study but also leaves a lasting impression on them, making them want to stay. Ghent is remarkable for its breathtaking beauty and a rich tapestry of experiences it offers. This city has everything one could desire from an urban center, and it's celebrated for its open-minded and welcoming atmosphere

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is the personal touch and passion we infuse into it. This is not just an investment property with generic IKEA furniture, but rather our own beloved home, filled with the treasures we've collected from our adventures around the world. We have a deep fascination with all things Asian, Oriental and vintage. We've strived to recreate that captivating atmosphere within our house.

While our property may not be the most modern, it is brimming with character, love, and charm. We've carefully considered every detail, making it a space that stands out from the rest. Our home reflects our personalities and the rich experiences we've gathered over the years, providing guests with a unique and memorable stay that goes beyond the ordinary.
