You can walk freely around the territory, finding small lagoons to swim, hammocks, places to sunbathe, meditate, and read a book. It is a place to explore yourself. Our team is also happy to show you around — we give a tour around the property to every guest

Village House
Our community has 4 village houses in Kveda Pona village, two of which used for team and community members to live and two are being renovated right now to host guests who want to experience village rural life. Each house has a big garden with lots of fruit and nut trees that we also use for our cooking or just eat them raw. Each house has around 1 acre of land.
Guests houses in the village will have 3-4 separate rooms to live, each having shower and toilet and separate entrance. One of the houses will have a hostel dorm for 8 people. Each house will have communal kitchen and living room in which our guests will be able to cook, organise smaller events. These houses are perfect for groups to stay in, especially if they need their own space to gather. Also it will be more economically accessible for long term rentals for those guests who want to stay near the project for a month or more. We have a lot of people asking for it.
People can also find a house to buy in our village.
