REMOTEWORK: aCCOMMODATION & InspiratioN

Haani Creative Hut

Remotework has recently become a common and widespread working arrangement for many people and organisations. We ourselves have been working remotely for years, and drawing on our own experience, we have set up the Haani Creative Hut to provide an inspiring remotework place for anyone looking for a change to their routine business or home office and wishing to combine work with relaxation.

Designed for solo workers, small teams and families

The Haani Creative Hut is a pleasant and cosy remote workplace located in the domed landscape of Haanja Nature Park. We welcome solo workers and people working in pairs as well as families or even small teams. You can work remotely and stay here for both shorter and longer periods, supported by various technical means and other possibilities. In addition to the creative working environment and the distinctive features of the area, we are also willing to offer our professional know-how, in case you need a fresh eye or a creative impulse (in content creation, communication and media, creative therapy, etc.).

Are you looking to take time off to recharge your batteries or need to focus on an important project that needs to be completed? Are you searching for new ideas with your small team or wish to brainstorm in a different environment? Would you like to explore new fragments of culture and visions of life, learn new skills, gain new experiences or meet new people? Everyone’s desires and needs are different, so are the solutions we offer.

Productivity by effective slowdown

Peace and silence, freedom and creativity, focus and productivity – working in the middle of nature in your own rhythm allows to experience effective slowdown. It brings a new perspective to your work and topics you deal with, helping to find clever and innovative approaches. But more importantly, far from your usual working and living environment, you will have a fresh view on life and the surrounding world. This will recharge you with new energy and strength to move mountains, and change gear the way you like. Haanja Upland undoubtedly has its invisible impact - the warm life energy that influences your new worldview in its special way!

The Haani Creative Hut is a convenient and practical remote workspace heated by stove and equipped with a kitchenette that includes everything you need for cooking just the way you are used to. If you wish, you can dine at the nearby Suur Muna Café, which is famous for its exciting tastes and high-quality food made of local ingredients. You can also order catering for you or your team, to have delicious food support your effective remote work. Coffee and tea – also local herbal tea – are included in the price of accommodation.

Cosy living with exciting options

The Creative Hut can accommodate up to seven people: there is a large double bed in the main bedroom on the upper floor and twin beds in the smaller bedroom, as well as a double sofa bed on the lower floor (see images in the gallery). If necessary, an extra bed/mattress can be placed both downstairs and the upper floor. Extra mattresses would accommodate a couple of more sleepers if needed, but then there would be less privacy. The washroom (toilet and shower) is spacious and cosy. Also available for you are numerous additional options, including a sauna, massage sessions, thematic workshops, hiking, sports, introduction to traditional culture and many other activities (see further information below).

The hut is equipped with all technical amenities needed for comfortable working: we have over-the-air internet connection (speed up to 40/10Mbps) and WiFi (the quality of the connection depends on weather conditions and service quality of the internet provider, Telia). The desktop is well lit and speakers can be paired with any device with Bluetooth connectivity. Additional options include extra desktop screen, data projector, printer, flipchart and marker whiteboard, sitting ball etc. We will help provide anything you need but is not there yet.
