Nothing can be more fun than doing a BBQ party at a countryside resort in my opinion. People like me who live in a small apartment, enjoy such kind of party always because we don't have our own place. Many people here in Kharkiv go outside the especially in suburban areas to spend their time and for BBQ parties. Even during the weekend, the city becomes empty, and country complexes do full business. You can say these locations play a getaway role from monotonous urban life.
Anyway, I had no idea about these complexes before I mean I knew there were summer cottages and resorts but I had not enough knowledge about them. I never got opportunities to go to these complexes last year. In Bangladesh we have resorts, recreational complexes but not so many, there are few where people always go, and hard to get reservations. During the season, the price is always high for reservations.
Recreational complex business is not exceptional here, peak hour means from spring to fall until winter comes. During winter some go to these complexes but not all because of snow and the temperature. So, summer is the best season to spend time in these cottages.
Bereg is such a country recreational complex located near Lozovenka River. The best part of it is, this complex is not very far away from the city and also it is located near the river so during hot days, it is perfect to spend time there. To be more precise, the exact location is Khreshchayk street, Cherkas'ka Lozova, Kharkiv Oblast. Completely suburban area with modern facilities, only 30 minutes drive from the city. You can take a taxi if you want...
Another name of Bereg is Dacha, local people call it Dacha, a summer country house. Most of the cottages here are made of wood, bamboo. Some of the cottages are for a living but most of the cottages are for BBQ. The interior is very normal, a wooden table and few chairs that's it. Some of them have a porch area, some of them have small balconies with a sofa set and a small BBQ place.
People mostly come here with friends and family for a BBQ party, they have the equipment and appliances for doing Shashlik and BBQ, you just need to bring the materials and foods, that's it.
This is how a BBQ spot looks like...
The rental price of the cottages depends on the size and you have to make the reservation before 2 weeks. They also have dining spaces for those who want food from their restaurant. Some also come here for a very short time, like some come to enjoy the sunset with a cup of coffee, so they just take place in the restaurant area.
Bereg started their business 7 years ago with few cottages. Slowly they expanded their territory and introduced small cottages, gazebos near the river. Gazebos are furnished and equipped with barbecue facilities.
It's a beautiful spot for family holidays but honestly, if you ask me my honest opinion, this complex stays crowded during the weekend. A lot of people come here not only for a BBQ party but also for swimming and to spend time near the river. As I don't like crowds so I avoid this spot during the weekend. Bereg is a small complex comparing to other country complexes or Dacha but just because it is located near the city, people often come here.
This is the Lozovenka river, boating is not allowed here. People take a swim here and some do fishing here. There is a volleyball playground and kids zone near the river...
Anyone can come here as this specific spot is not private property.
We went there for a BBQ party and get-together of our community. So we were there around 12.00 clock in the morning and started BBQ around 1.00 pm. We brought marinated meat and other foods, drinks from home and placed those in one of the cottages. The cottage price was 1500 UAH, around 50$ for the full day.
Kids can play around even if anyone wants to swim, they can. There is a playground for football as well. Resort/ private cottages and public one-day event cottages are separated, zoning is different. If you want a nice cottage for the night, they have and if you want a cottage for BBQ and daytime, the size and type of the cottages are different.
Our BBQ preparation...It was a nice experience...
When I feel bored and tired of city noise, I come here. It's closer to the city so anytime I can come to this spot to change the rhythm of my life. Sunset scenery is the best here while enjoying the food and drinks. During winter, most part of the complex stays close so they run their business during summer and spring. They accept all kinds of event reservations so it is good.
The spot is the best to spend a weekend or holiday or maybe to celebrate Christmas party...
