We have been to Abkhazia many times, but this place can be safely called solitude with nature, the beach is closed by natural rocks, people are only those who rest in camping, the water is clean, the owner Mikhail is responsive, likes to share the history of this place, small shops nearby (booze, honey, pastries) prices are cheaper than in Gagra), you can order meat, it will be delivered the next day. There are horse riding, local business), lovers of discos and bohemian parties will be bored here, for people with children it's the best!. There are bungalows for those who cannot live without a bed). We slept in tents, there is a shower, sockets too
Everything was comfortable, we stayed with a tent for four days, there was water and an outlet in our place, a wooden table. The car is nearby. There are campgrounds and shops nearby. I was worried that the strange philosophy of "Ra" would greatly affect, I found videos of strange creative events and some kind of walking with torches, a drum and howling at night, but the guests said that this was no longer there and ordinary people were resting 🙃
The place is amazing by nature. It's worth stopping by for a day or two. The temple is interesting, the views are created for beautiful photos. The mountain river Ambara is good, you can walk along it right on the water.
Beach- for three/3+
Large pebbles- cripples the legs, it will be especially difficult for elderly and obese people.
The water is muddy, the mud settles, but frequent (daily in August 2023) rains and the geography itself (the bay) do not allow it to clear.
For clean water, you need to swim to a depth - not everyone can do it.
The coastline is long and free, but 2/3 of the bay at the foot of a steep crumbling cliff is dangerous. A 20cm stone fell out on us from under the roots of a pine tree - it scared us. It is best to walk under the pines in the depths of the bay, not far for 10 minutes, but the pines quickly "sort out"
The beach in a small river valley, surrounded by mountains and rocks - it is not blown through. There is wind only on the shore and in a clearing by the sea.
The humidity is terrible, like in a greenhouse, we sweated all 24 hours all 7 days nonstop.
There are no shops there, the prices in the shop are 3 tails: tomatoes 200₽, zucchini 100₽ and so on
But there is a very good cafe near the beach. Beer is cheaper there and the cuisine is excellent at normal prices.
There are 3 campsites here:
A Vantastic patch near the beach on the left side of the bay, along the river in the forest
A-kukumber - glade and river bank at the very entrance
The Barn estate is the right part of the bay right next to the mountain.
We lived for 7 days in the manor. A place near the mountain with a gazebo.
It's HELL!!!
Stuffy, humid, hot despite the shade, cramped, stinks of sewage.
In 2 of the three toilets, barrels are constantly broken and shit is floating "downhill". The bathroom floor is lined with pebbles in cement, sewage is washed off with water, all this flows down the slope to the exit and remains on the floor. Chemicals and disinfectants are not used because they are crazy for the whole head. Washing dishes with your own chemicals is also prohibited, otherwise a fine!!
Smoking is a fine!
Alcohol is a fine
Garbage is a fine, you can throw out the garbage by paying an additional fee.money
And there are instructions all around.. and reminders of fines. There are detailed instructions on how to use the toilet🤦🏼♀️
Cows and their manure are on the territory. Some people are unlucky in the dark... they get into trouble.
There is a restaurant called Wildwood. Prices are 1.5 times higher than in Moscow. Khachapur 700rubles, pie 150rubles.
But having learned the position of the owners regarding the cleanliness and use of detergents, I would not risk it. Everything is washed with household soap and homemade lye.
The festival!
They tore off 1000rubles from each additional fee (to 500rubles / person + 300rubles for a gazebo + 200rubles for a car) those 7 days = 29 thousand
The Festival is complete BULLSHIT!
We hooked up for 5 days - every day the same songs to the psaltery, shout cheers to the owner 20 times and sing "many summers" to him several times in chorus. I liked only the merry dances on the shore.
Promised Master classes:
The raw cheese was led by the owner Mikhail. an hour-long lecture from the hackneyed horror stories of the Internet, absolutely absurd. He got confused in terms, concepts, distorted the history of cheese making in ancient Russia (there was no cheese, cheese appeared under Peter 1, and was fixed by Vereshchagin) referred to the stories of an aunt who worked (once) at the Ostankino dairy. Instead of cheese, samokvas from 3L cans of raw milk was weighed into cheesecloth, and this "curd" was called Raw Cheese.
The Khachapuri master class was canceled altogether, but what? Well, it was more convenient for them.
What was the money taken for???
In 3 weeks of Abkhazia, this is the worst place, but with hot water. Which is not needed at all in this heat.
It is unrealistic to catch the promised wifi.
Of the advantages, there are 2 more hammocks on the shore.
I do not advise anyone to use this Barn Manor!!!
Spoil your vacation.
All other camping sites in Abkhazia were much better in all respects.
A heavenly place! I want to spend every weekend there, rather invent a teleport) clean sea, rocks, a comfortable beach and friendly people! All travelers must visit!
We were there last year. The prices for the House of Creativity were two times lower. I was thinking of going this year. No, thanks. On the website 7000 - for a room in the "House of Creativity", a room without amenities, only a bed with a wooden mattress stuffed with buckwheat, even the children refused to sleep on it. The facilities are shared, you need to go to the shared shower and toilet. And it's over 7000 - isn't it strange? + for parking, + for bed linen, etc. A good place to relax with a tent. Renting a room is a dubious pleasure, the price-quality does not match.
Yes, the restaurant is also not a restaurant, but a raw food and vegetarian cafe. You won't get enough. Of + beautiful nature, even with cows on the beach.
We liked it. In June, there were few people and no one bothered me, everyone had their own allocated places behind a bamboo fence. We were in the car and took a place closer to the road, the car was standing next to it, it was very convenient. The sea view from the tent was present. The trees around the camp provide shade, the sun was not hot in our place after lunch. Each such place under the tent has its own outlet and a water tap, which is very convenient. The shower is spacious, the water is hot. The toilets are clean.
The cafe wasn't open yet, but we didn't need to, we were with our provisions. The host, Mikhail, is friendly and friendly. I read the last negative review before my arrival, but I chose 1 of the 3 campsites already in place, and everything turned out fine.
Good location, the road is normal - asphalt, but beware of local Schumachers (and non-local ones) a lot of blind turns. Quite quiet, clean beach, houses on the level. There is a local infrastructure - cafes and mini-stalls. The camping staff is friendly, the vegan dining room is an amateur cafe (plantain), delicious pea soup, good khachapuri, sour milk in the morning is the best. Prices are +- metropolitan. A good option is to stay outdoors, swim, walk.
An entourage place.
The administrator is smart, he will help if anything with everything.
You have to pay for everything! A place for a tent, a place for a tea party, a place for a car, and for your garbage separately!!! It is strange that this is paid separately.
Cows walk on the beach.
The kitchen in the restaurant - I do not recommend it, 10 dumplings 400₽
There is a cafe 100 m away, for three.
Next to the campsites, it is not clear at all what they want money for.
Great camping! Everything you need is there, everything is thought out!
This is the second time we have come here and obviously not the last))
I also like the sea here and the fact that there are not very many people ☝🏻
Saps for 500 rubles/hour👍🏻
It's a cool place, the nature is beautiful, but the policy of charging guests for each "sneeze" is annoying, it's better to include all additional services at once in the general receipt than to count separately for the stay, refrigerator, dishes rental, etc
Well, the lack of a common kitchen for cooking is annoying (the presence of tiles and a sink is not considered a kitchen)
The place is good. Very secluded and peaceful. There are not many people, compared to tourist places like Gagra. Very clean. It is convenient that everyone has their own small territory and has an individual cold shower. If you take a place with a gazebo, then you will also have an outlet with electricity ⚡️There are also comfortable toilets and a shower room with warm water!
The only thing that upset me was that no one warned me that the cafe was not working, the website says the opposite. We planned to eat there and did not buy any food, and there are no shops nearby, only a small counter with "beer and tomatoes". Therefore, if you go, keep in mind that after the turn at the traffic police post, from the main road, you will not find any more shops (this is about 20 km), so buy in advance 🙃
After visiting a lovely lawn with swings by the sea in the summer, without spending the night, I wanted to rent a house here.
On September 1, we arrived on motorcycles with friends, having booked two rooms in advance.
And to book and pay, it was another quest) a week before that, they called, wrote no one answered, I had to call the Moscow branch to get my bearings.
After payment, by some personal number, a bunch of visiting rules and prohibitions came.
As a result, in addition to paying for the room, 4500 rubles, you will have to pay for each step) parking-200 rubles, garbage collection-500 rubles and if you ask for a mug / plate from the "restaurant", then you will also have to pay for this, as well as for guests, if you want to invite someone to visit the territory.
The restaurant is closed, as well as the Internet)
In the restaurant, you can rent a basket for a separate price, in which you can put your own products.
They poured water from the filter for free, since there is no drinking water on the territory, there are no shops nearby either.
The beautiful picture that attracted me turned into a nightmare for me)
It was just a hell of a night, which I will never want to repeat)
An authentic room, with large panoramic windows, no ventilation, because the windows do not open. But there is a small hole in the ceiling on the roof, where you can see the tiles. Needless to say, on a hot summer night and morning, it's just an oven?)
I had to open the door at night, because there was simply nothing to breathe with.
The room itself is pleasant, simple, a beautiful wall made of sawn wood, a bed with a buckwheat mattress and the same pillows and all this in linen bedding.
If the bed linen, of course, is for an amateur, then the mattress, this is a crime against a person, I think) made in the shape of waves, strongly smelling like pillows, buckwheat (and what about insects?), will simply destroy your back overnight. My neck and lower back were pinched, and from all this, combined with the stuffiness, my head ached and shot violently.
That's half the trouble of the night.
The other half is bark beetles in the wood of the house. Wooden dust is falling all over the room, on things, helmets, and the floor from them and a crunching sound is heard. Besides the fact that these beetles "crunched" all night from all sides, in the middle of the night, something came to crunch these beetles. Some kind of animal, either a mouse, a bat, or someone else, that picked them out of the ceiling and chewed them. And it's all over your head. Under the roof. Let me remind you that there is a hole in the ceiling for ventilation)))
Here you are lying, spinning, everything hurts, there is nothing to breathe, stuffy, hot (of course there is no air conditioner), your head hurts from all this, mosquitoes are spinning, and then the background sound of crunching beetles is complemented by unknown animal sounds and your friend's snoring from the next room (soundproofing fire)
I only dreamed that the morning would come as soon as possible and leave this room…
And also, a few words should be said about the bathroom. The curtain is made of linen , covered in black mold. The stones at the bottom of the shower are sliding and it seems like you're about to twist your leg. There is almost no water in the toilet tank. And hello, a bunch of spiders and cobwebs and dust from bark beetles. There are not even cups for toothbrushes. In general, the room is not for clean people)))
By the way, the guys don't have a first aid kit. If you cut yourself like me, you won't even be offered a plantain😅
The bottom line is, if you come here, you need to take everything with you! As much as possible)
It's beautiful, cute, quiet, authentic....of the advantages, this is probably all)
Of the cons....Well, you 've already figured it out 😅
The place is beautiful, quiet, the road passes through a mountain serpentine, very beautiful. The air is amazing. The nature is beautiful. There is a restaurant, in the next bathroom there is a cafe right on the shore. It's a thrill with tents.
The camping is excellent, fenced area, warm shower, one toilet, two toilet holes. We only took places for the camp, perhaps there are separate facilities in the cabins. Picturesque views, you can take pictures on swings, ride horses. There is a bar in the nearby campsite, and because of this bar, I am lowering my rating. We were driving for peace and quiet, music was playing in the bar until 12 at night. Locals can come and turn on music in the car, and no one can forbid them anything. In general, for those who are light sleepers, I recommend to stock up on earplugs.
A holy place, an ancient ruined temple. There is a parking lot nearby for 100 rubles. A little closer to the sea there is a phyto cafe, everything on the grass is shorter for an amateur. There are campsites nearby.It's possible to eat normally there. The shore of crushed stone. You should have rubber slippers with you everywhere. You can visit it once.
It was September 1st. In short, I strongly advise against it. If you need details, then here:
The place is beautiful and the Admin Julia is friendly and friendly - that's where the advantages end.
Under the guise of environmental friendliness, there is a simple reluctance to do something worthwhile and customer-oriented. Now for the facts:
- we lived in a house with panoramic windows (4500r/night). It's beautiful outside, in fact it's terribly stuffy, the windows don't open, there's nothing to breathe. You open the door and insects fly in (a lot of flies are poking cattle nearby and tortillas from it everywhere).👎
- sleeping is not comfortable and unpleasant. It's tough and not the fact that it's all being treated against parasites. To the stuffiness, insects and rustling of bark beetles (the whole house is covered in wood dust from it) in the middle of the night and into the morning, something loudly scratching (bat or ordinary mouse) was added. The admin was aware of this problem, but she still settled in this particular house if there were others available. We didn't sleep at all.👎
- There is no place in front of the house where you can sit, the barbecue is also not on the territory of the house and is shared. There is no table or bench next to the barbecue - everything is very uncomfortable. 👎
- Eating outside was also not very pleasant. Due to the presence of livestock, flies cling to all dishes.
- In the house in the bathroom, everything is so eco-friendly that even the black mold on the shower curtain glitters. The toilet bowl is filled in 30 minutes. Well, of course there is no soap or dental kits, and there are not even cups for a brush 👎
- My leg was cut - there is no first - aid kit on site 👎
- For dishes, skewers, coal, parking, garbage collection ... there is a surcharge for everything (4500r + 1400r).
- the restaurant is closed, so you need to take everything with you. Drinking water too.👎
- Wi-fi - does not work. From the word at all.👎
As a result: we will not return there anymore, and the review was written in order to show potential visitors what they may encounter.
Quiet camping, in August-23 for two people with a car 1500 / day. The sections of the second line are separated by a bamboo fence, each has water and electricity. And a canopy under the tiles, which is just a salvation from the midday heat. The refrigerator in the cafe is paid, you should not count on the menu - we cook everything ourselves. There is a hot shower as many as two cabins and three toilets. Everything is very clean. I've never seen better campsites. True, you can't fry a barbecue on the territory, like smoking and drinking) but there is a wild beach nearby, which solves))
For me, as an omnivore and an all-drinker, this place is not suitable. Here the emphasis is on, as it is true to say, natural and biological, whether coffee is not made from coffee, I'm talking about a cafe. I don't know about camping with overnight accommodation, I haven't lived, but the place is nice and beautiful.
The people there are wonderful, Belarusians.
The best camping in Abkhazia. The owner Mikhail makes camping for a really comfortable stay. Well-maintained territory, clean toilets with running water, hot water showers, places for tents are fenced with bamboo fences, each has its own territory with running water. Stunning sea views, and the beach is very free, as the place is wild and not many people get here. Only cows with their experiments are confusing, but they are everywhere in Abkhazia.
Very good camping, the place is gorgeous. There is a shower, toilet, outlet. The sea is warm +27 +28 were in early August. You can get there using the navigator, the road is excellent.
They settled out of hopelessness. The prices are horse. Internet 400 rubles / person. Half of the camp was watered. They asked for a refrigerator - so they froze them for us. Cheeses were thrown out for 2000. Of course, we made a discount, which is nice, but compared to other places, of course...not justified. The place is, yes, beautiful. But it's beautiful everywhere in Abkhazia.
The best place in Abkhazia, period.. We've been to a lot of places, it's a very beautiful place with a cinematic picture. Silence, music does not rattle, tents, gazebos, cabins, campers, everyone is friendly, yoga classes in the morning, friendly dogs guard the camp. Yes, everything is here.. and there is no noise..
Disgusting. They charge money for any sneeze. Prices are changing up literally before our eyes. The Internet is crashing all the time. There are problems with the water and with the shower, the tank is barely filling. The audibility in the houses is disgusting, as if there are no walls. Of the advantages, the sea is not far away and an ancient temple with amazing energy. The houses are full of ants, which naturally got into the suitcases and had to shake everything up upon arrival at another location.
There's nothing to do there at all. The beaches nearby are no worse. In addition, enterprising residents extort money for allegedly paid guarded parking.
We had a rest in June, there were very few people. Therefore, it was comfortable, wonderful nature, in a wonderful place! I hope that nothing will change, but it will only improve!
