Klaara-Manni Puhkemaja

Timber runs through every room here, cut and joined by hand, with windows built to open onto forest air and birdsong. Klaara-Manni sits in the village of Randivälja, near Tori, at the edge of Soomaa National Park, and splits its 25 rooms across three separate holiday houses plus a handful of apartments with kitchen corners. Klaara and Väike-Manni pair their rooms in twos, each pair sharing a private entrance from the garden. It sleeps up to 99 for larger gatherings. Eight rooms are fitted for guests with reduced mobility, with ramps and adapted fittings throughout. The main house holds a hall, a billiard room by the fireplace, a sauna and a meeting room, and can be booked whole for up to 25 guests. Two saunas operate depending on season: a wood-fired outdoor Senni sauna from May to October, and the fireplace sauna in the main house through winter. A forest path runs out from behind the buildings. You can walk to the Pärnu River in ten minutes, 600 metres along the track, for a swim in warm weather. Meals come from local farms and the property's own kitchen garden, cooked to recipes passed down from grandmothers. Free parking and bed linen are included throughout the stay.
