VODENA DRAGA, KARLOVAC
Wake up to the sound of birdsong, breathe in the fresh forest air, and feel the calmth of the Croatian countryside. At Meraki nature stay & workshops, your stay is more than just a holiday — it’s a journey into nature, simplicity and connection. From untouched landscapes and clean blue rivers to local traditions, this region invites you to slow down and explore with all your senses.
NATURE UNTOUCHED
Hike to waterfalls, swim in clear rivers, explore hidden caves, and drink from fresh mountain springs. Nature here is still quiet and full of wonder.
REAL LIVING
Pick wild plants or mushrooms, get honey or herbs from local farmers. Walk barefoot. Watch the fire. Drink spring water. Let the days move at their own pace.
LOCAL TIPS & NEIGHBOURHOOD
Even though we’re surrounded by nature, you’re never far from what you need. Every morning between 7:00 and 8:00, a small white bread van passes through the village. Wave it down, and you can buy Croatian bread right on the main road.
Prefer a breakfast or dinner ready for you? We can prepare it fresh with local, organic ingredients.
A mini-market is 5 minutes away by car. For bigger supermarkets, head to Duga Resa or Karlovac — both 10- 30 minutes away.
You can visit old castles, mountain villages, or the Friday flea market. Or simply stay here, where the real magic happens.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Stay in a cozy glamping tent or a handmade wooden cabin.
Everything is thoughtfully placed—with soft mattresses, open air and nature all around. The accommodations are placed with big distance to a neighbour, so that you have a sense of space and privacy.
BREAKFAST
Start your day with a fresh, seasonal vegan or vegetarian breakfast — brought to you. Expect home-baked bread, smoothie bowls and warm drinks. The ingredients are mostly home grown, local and organic. Dietary wishes can be requested.
