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.

Dafna
We converted an old guard post into a little house with a veranda. Though it stands near the entrance and there are some cars and people passing by, it is a cosy little cabin close to everything -- community house and showers. Veranda is a great place to work in silence yet enjoying greenery from the window.

As a result we’ve received Spaceships that had an emergency stop in the magical forest. It is 6 metres tall cabins with a cosy living room with a big window and working desk, attic bed with panoramic view, small bedroom for a child or a friend that will soon be converted into a wc/shower room.

Each tent has a wooden platform, two mattresses that can be put together, electricity and a lamp. It is cheap and comfortable for sleeping - but could be hot under the scorching Georgian sun.
A-Frame
We have 5 A-frame cabins, each of them is a super tiny and simple cabin to have a connection with nature. It has an open terrace with a view over mountains and Kabali river. One part of the A-frame roof can be lifted up transforming a tiny A-frame into one open space together with a terrace. Each A-frame cabin has electricity, two beds that can be joined together or separated. Public toilets and showers are within 30-70 metres range from the A-frame cabins.

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.

The founder, Vanya Mitin, is an Israeli entrepreneur who is working with communities and community spaces around the world. He created the concept of “anticafe" or “pay-per-minute cafe" or “time-cafe" that was copied more than 5000 times around the world. He was a founder of the international chain of pay-per-minute cafes called Ziferblat that had more than 30 places from UK to Mongolia, including Ukraine, Slovenia and Russia. Also he is co-founder and concept creator of Bolotov.Dacha — a cozy hotel in nature 100 km away from Moscow and Bolotov.Village with more than 70 houses built for the community. He left Russia in 2018 to Israel because of disagreement with the political situation in Russia.
