Such a cosy place in nature with a small lake. Amazing vegetarian kitchen and helpful staff! We enjoyed the chill atmosphere there and we'll be back.

We stayed almost overnight when we were traveling in Belarus. I didn't want to leave, but to continue my vacation on the territory - it was so cozy. The energy of the place is great. Beautiful, clean, delicious breakfast and teas, coffee; the philosophy of cleanliness of the exterior and interior is very noticeable. We went to Minsk for a walk in the evening - just half an hour from sunwhale. We stayed in a hotel room - the cabins were occupied. Everything is comfortable, good mattresses and extra space. Thank you! We'll come back as soon as we decide to go to Minsk.

I have been to the Sun Whale eco-complex twice in the last year, including the celebration of the 9th anniversary of the complex on 06/22/2025. I have never seen a more sincere and warm attitude from the top officials of the company (wonderful people Gennady and Tatiana) and staff in Belarus in my entire life. Amazing treats and cuisine, nature, technical thoughtfulness, warmth and warmth with blankets for each guest, an incredible concert of live classical music in the amphitheater - everything was amazing! Anyone who is still thinking of coming here, do not think: come. I'll come back here myself more than once. They're just beautiful! Thank you!

We were passing through. Take a walk for about an hour for free, if more than 15 rubles per person. There is a lot of entertainment - rope town, sapboards, catamarans, bungee. Beautiful nature. On the downside: the roadway is audible

It's a very atmospheric place. Beautiful nature. Pond with fish. Bathhouse. It's really small, but it's there. There is entertainment and a playground for children. The food is delicious. You can rent a tent for a day with a barbecue. I recommend.

It's a very atmospheric place. We are glad to come here again and again, and now we have celebrated the New Year here. Comfortable, beautiful, delicious. There is a creative approach to everything and attracts the same visitors. We met very interesting, athletic people. The concept of "without alcohol and tobacco" perfectly gathers and unites people. I wish you development in all areas.

The hand does not rise to spoil the rating, so instead of 4 stars, I put 5. After all, the place is very atmospheric and you can see that it was made with love. There were pros and cons during the rest. Positive: - it is possible with small dogs, it was very important for us, because we did not want to leave the dog with strangers - not far from Minsk, you can get there without your own car; taxis/minibuses/buses - there is entertainment on site. We really liked the bungee jump; we could have taken the saps/bikes for a couple of hours. - you can bring and cook meat, there is no complete ban. Of the cons: - I really didn't like the kitchen. Although we gave vegetarian cuisine a chance and believed in the positive reviews, it turned out to be completely not for us. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the second day, we started running to a nearby place to eat. You won't be satisfied with three lean pieces of eggplant (Especially since it doesn't taste good at all) Plus there is a place to go in the neighborhood. - Wi-Fi is only available on the veranda for lunch. It doesn't catch in the rooms, it just doesn't exist in the cabins. - there's some kind of trash crisis in the territory. You're walking around and there's nowhere to throw your trash, which surprised us a lot, because it's an eco-friendly place! Moreover, there is a big shortage of garbage cans on one side and on the other. There is one street gate at the entrance, and there is also a smoking area. I had to walk for a long time with dog poo in a bag :( - the presence of outsiders on the territory, it is unclear how they are allowed to fish, it seemed strange to us, especially since they are very littering with all sorts of seeds / pistachios and trampling the grass, which looks very contradictory to the theme of the place. Among the people who relax, there are fans of astrology / meditation / natal charts / fortune-telling and so on. That is, the place is quite niche. I know that there are people who view this negatively, so I decided to clarify this point. We enjoyed our stay, the administration was responsive, and we could always contact them for various questions. The territory is well maintained and beautiful. It's quiet, cozy, and the room service is good. We were not disturbed. By the way, the audibility in the hotel is sooooo good, you can hear absolutely everything that the neighbors are doing. But it didn't bother us. I highly recommend this place to visit. Houses are generally a bomb 😍

The territory is very large and picturesque. The rooms are clearly designed, as is the hotel itself - quite stylish. But when booking, you need to take into account the nuances: vegetarian cuisine, smoking and alcohol are strictly prohibited. The hotel has its own policy and it will not be close to everyone, rather a place for yogis and people who practice. We also booked a sauna, we really liked the font, it was especially beautiful in the evening. We will not return the second time only because of strict rules, but again, this is the policy of the hotel, you either accept and share it, or not. We're not close.

We decided to go out to have a rest with a young man, celebrate on February 14, in the end we were very unhappy, we didn't sleep at night, things were ruined, all because there was a running mouse in the house on the water, the administrator Alexey offered to let a cat into the house, adding that at the moment he can't do anything more, such indifference We haven't met the visitors yet, as a result, we wanted to spend a vacation together, but we spent it together.

Positive 1. Delicious vegan food. But it's expensive. Dinner 30 rubles, tea and coffee for an additional fee ) 2. Friendly staff 3. The area is smoke-free 4. Small number of mosquitoes Minuses 1. There is a road nearby. 100 meters from the house on the water, the noise of cars can be heard even in the house 2. The house itself is very stuffy and small, the air conditioner does not solve the problem. Sleeping on a bed is comfortable with a height of up to 180 cm)). The pillows are very small)) 4. There are a lot of algae in the water near the house, they do not clean it, it resembles a toadstool))) 5. The presence of outsiders on the territory - you leave the house, and a local man with a cigarette in his mouth is fishing next to you)))) 6. The administration drowns for an ECO-style vacation, but at the same time their worker offers to listen to the Bulgarian singing)), and the presence of a piano attracts young talents to drive their skills into your ears (((. Such a silence plus the noise of the road))) 7. Eco hotel. This is an old 2-storey brick admin building with a very cheap renovation inside the ala loft))). Such an eco-friendly hotel Conclusion - I can say with 100% certainty that the rest is not worth the money, there is something to compare it with!! There are many contradictions, guests cannot fish and smoke, outsiders can). I'm not a smoker!!) A lot of extraneous noise.

An amazing place to relax in nature! Quiet, cozy atmosphere. Very tasty cuisine, wonderful hosts and staff. We lived in glamping. Everything is done neatly, there are all the amenities. There is a choice of activities. We tried both the sap boards and the catamaran, and bought them. Definitely worth a visit to this place! We will be happy to return!

An interesting place. Unusual. The area is free of tobacco and alcohol. Vegetarian cuisine. We were there in early January. We rested in a house on the water. The lake has already frozen over. But that doesn't make the place any less interesting.) It's amazing how everything is thought out there! A full-length window with a view of the lake, underfloor heating, a wood-burning stove under it, a sauna with a shower, a canopy near the house, a fire pit, paths illuminated at night. And the impression is made up of small things: chairs decorated with New Year's capes, Christmas wreaths on the doors, glowing garlands on fir branches in the houses on the tables. Near the cafe there is a box with sliced apples and the inscription: "We can feed the ponies."  It's so emotional!  The cafe has a very cozy atmosphere. You should take off your shoes at the entrance. You walk into the gym in your socks. There are shelves with toys on the walls. Very soft lighting. The staff is polite and attentive. The food is delicious. But in the end, I'll give you four stars, since all these impressions from exploring a new place and exploring the territory will last for a couple of days, and then there's nothing to do in winter. Just relaxation and informational detox.))) Therefore, I advise you to visit this place for new experiences, but not for a long time in winter.

My wife and I really liked the place. We lived there for 6 nights. Nature is very beautiful, especially in October, when the red-orange trees are reflected on the water. We often met interesting birds. One was recognized as a kingfisher. The cook cooks incredibly delicious. As an avid meat eater, I was skeptical, but for all the time I ate food with both cheeks, I liked it so much. I took a lot for my diet for the future. The terrain is large. A morning jog in the woods is quite an interesting activity. And on walks you can notice a lot of mushrooms, soft moss, enjoy the view of tall pines. There is a sauna/steam room in the lake house, which can be used at least every day. I took a dip in the lake, which to my surprise was very clean, and after it I went to the bath. Tempered pleasantly. Firewood is provided for all days of stay. There is a grill there. We cooked on it, and sometimes we just sat around the campfire. We were lucky that there were no insects near the water at that time, so we enjoyed the views, tea, fire.

A very cozy place! For those who love silence, unity with nature, a feeling of comfort and warmth, will appreciate this place. But for outdoor enthusiasts there is also something to do here: a rope town, trolls, saps and bicycles. A large and well-maintained territory, a homemade cafe, gazebos and houses, as well as beautiful, cozy rooms in a modern eco-friendly hotel. The first time I came with my friends for a picnic, to spend time in a beautiful place, but I definitely want to return with an overnight stay in a house on the water. In my opinion, this place can meet any demand.

We liked the rest, but it's still dangerous with small children (there are steep slopes, stairs and it's easy to fall into the water). For the soul, the most important thing is that you can enjoy the silence here (of course, the track is a little audible, but not critical). And most importantly, all this is not far from the city. Of the minuses, neighbors sometimes celebrate with loud music, but the owners themselves smooth out the sharp corners. If you choose between home and a house, take a house, it will be more interesting and warmer. The food is vegatarian, delicious and interesting. Of the minuses, there are no drinks, you can pour from the cooler into your glass only (but I think this will be fixed) or order coffee for 6p. There is a horse on the territory, a sauna and entertainment from a catamaran to a waveboard. To catch Zen is a great place. I recommend it!

I was there for a few days in August. I got, as they say, out of season))) or rather, in the season of oatmeal porridge with milk, salt and jam for detlager…In general, I make allowances for the efforts of the administration to smooth out the shoals that climb like cockroaches from all the cracks and take my hat off to the project as a whole, which does not exist without difficulties in our soulless world!) but the organization of the process, in my opinion, should not be at the level of the soul, but at the level of reflex. Maybe next year something will change, because the place is good and with proper management it can be convenient not only in terms of relaxation, but also in terms of comfort, as we are now used to understand it.

A great place for a family vacation. It is very sincere, fresh and beautiful. Cozy glamps and delicious food. There is even a rope town. Pleasant service from sincere people. Of the cons, the toilet and shower are on the other side, but it's even romantic. The lake captures its view, there is a large area for walking. Hammocks, benches. It is quite close to Minsk and at the same time secluded in nature. I'm thrilled 😍

A good place for a family holiday, for those who like silence, and PP! ECO-friendly hotel, the owners live right on the territory, there is a rope town, a children's playground, a football field, trampolines, swings, a sauna with a Jacuzzi, two islands, gazebos, there is where to walk, but it is inconvenient to go down to the water with a stroller. The owners forbid loud music, it is also forbidden to "drink" on the territory of the hotel, the food is exclusively vegan and very tasty!! Yes, there is no meat and it is prohibited on the territory along with alcohol, the prices are pleasant, the rooms are clean. We spent a couple of days there with our family, everything is fine, we will come back again.

In glamp we were met by a frog, which had to be evicted. The glamp itself is dirty. The blankets are stained. The manager said we can't wash it. There is a path a meter from the glamp. When they constantly go to the toilet and to other houses right next to the head, what kind of relaxation is there? Dinner is meager, the vegetables are tasteless and poorly washed. There were 2 cheap tea bags in the teapot. Definitely it was not worth the 260r spent. There are a lot of shoals, and the place is beautiful.
