Who’s Oscar?
Oscar's story began in the 1950s.
Back then, it was the name of a well-known and leading oldtimer garage in the Begijnhoflaan in Ghent. It was run by Mr Ernst, a former aircraft engine technician.
Garage Oscar grew and also took on the Volkswagen car brand. The garage remained open until Mr Ernst died in the 1990s.
In the year 2004, the old mansion with its adjoining warehouse/garage was rebuild to a beautifull oasis of calm in the middle of the city.. The location is fantastic:
Walk out the door and you are merely steps away from the beating heart of Ghent's historical city centre. Stroll through the charming and authentic little streets of Ghent's Begijnhof (Beguinage) as you make your way to the Gravensteen (Castle of the Counts).
Oscar’s transformation.
The authentic building was partly demolished to create a garden between the mansion and the garage.
The once bustling garage received an impressive make-over.
The three walls and a roof was transformed into rooms/studios. They are the perfect base from which to explore the city and to enjoy and relax carefree after a city visit. They are equipped with their own kitchen, a sitting and dining area, a bedroom and a bathroom. The warm decoration adds a touch of Malaga to your stay in Ghent. Each room/studio has a terrace and garden to enjoy.
Oscar's garage had a fantastic transistion. The conversion of the authentic building transformed it into a beautiful, practical and luxurious place to stay.
A true home away from home, with a little extra splash of Spain sunshine!
Finally, Oscar, the old garage was reborn, given a new life as a tourist, not a car hotspot in the breathtakingly beautiful city of Ghent.
In 2024 I had the luck to come across this pearl.
With enthusiasm en dedication I will welcome you so you will relax and enjoy in this fantastic make-over of Oscar's garage.
Oscar will guide you.
Oscar has been reborn and wants to give you the chance to feel reborn too.
