A holiday with friends at Taevaskoja

Looking for a place to spend a weekend with friends, celebrate something or simply break out of the everyday routine? Taevaskoja is a great fit for a group of friends who want to be surrounded by nature, take time to be together and, if they wish, add a sauna, activities or a shared meal to their holiday.

Here, a holiday doesn't have to be just about staying the night. You can start the day with a hike, spend the evening in the sauna or by the campfire, and wake up together at a leisurely pace the next morning. Everything you need can be planned as one complete package — accommodation, catering, activities and a good time with your people.

What kind of group of friends is it suitable for?

Taevaskoja suits groups of friends looking for a relaxed place close to nature to spend time together.

It works well for:

  • a weekend with friends
  • a smaller reunion
  • celebrating a birthday or special occasion
  • an active holiday in nature
  • a sauna and campfire evening
  • a joint holiday for several families
  • a more relaxed time with your own group
  • a holiday-like event where you don't have to rush home right away

The exact arrangement depends on the size of the group, the desired privacy, the season and how active a holiday you want.

Accommodation for groups of friends

When coming with a group of friends, it's important to have enough space to be together, but also the chance to rest in peace. At Taevaskoja you can choose accommodation based on the size of your group and whether you want more privacy, a sauna or simpler overnight accommodation.

Small Holiday House

The Small Holiday House is well suited to a group of friends who want a place to themselves, a shared kitchen, a sauna and a hot tub. The house has two spacious apartments and is well suited to a group of up to 12 people.

It is a good choice for a weekend, a birthday celebration or a holiday where you want to spend time with your people in one place.

Well suited for: groups of friends, a joint holiday for several families, a weekend with a sauna and hot tub, smaller celebrations.

Guest apartment

The guest apartment suits a smaller group of friends looking for simple and more private accommodation surrounded by Taevaskoja nature. The apartment has a living room and kitchen, two bedrooms and a private bathroom.

It works well for a shorter holiday, an active weekend or a group that wants to spend the day in nature and the evening quietly together.

Well suited for: a smaller group of friends, a quieter weekend, as part of an active holiday, a group that doesn't need an entire holiday house.

What people have said about Taevaskoja

“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.”
