Stories from visitors to Taevaskoja Holiday Centre

“Everything was very nice, the administrator was friendly and accommodating, and exploring Taevaskoja’s nature on kick scooters was great fun. In short – we really enjoyed staying with you. All the best to your holiday centre!”

Ain Mets · From Tartu

“I recommend the conference room at Taevaskoja Holiday Centre as a venue for further training, in-house training and information days. A spacious, roomy conference room with natural light in the middle of an old-growth forest. Tables and chairs can be arranged to suit the nature of the event. Service that makes you want to work together again.”

Arens Mööbel

“When you arrive at Taevaskoja Holiday Centre, you feel like a welcome guest. The staff are, without exception, bright-eyed, friendly and accommodating people. And the cooks are probably the best in South Estonia.”
