Kolsay Tanbalytas A-Frame

It is a gem of a place. An absolute beautiful and peaceful place. The staff was super nice and helpful and went to great lengths to male our stay comfortable. The property was very clean and compact. All facilities were available in the chalet. The food was very tasty and we tried many local delicacies. The property has a lot of walks around, has a stream flowing nearby accompanied by a friendly white dog. We really enjoyed a small picnic by the stream. The horse ride to tanbalytas is adventurous and relaxing.The property is at manageable distance from kaindy and kolsai lakes. It is very kids friendly and lot of space for kids to roam around. We enjoyed every bit of our stay and didn’t want to go back.. very rejuvenating and highly recommended.

Nothing to not like about it.

Die Aussicht war sehr schön, das Personal hat sich sehr Mühe gegeben und uns viele Unternehmungsvorschläge gegeben. Das gelieferte Frühstück war auch sehr gut!

Die Küchenausstattung war etwas spärlich. Die Unterkunft war etwas teuer im Verhältnis zur Leistung.

This place is an absolute hidden gem—so underrated, and I’m beyond happy we found it and decided to book. We arrived on August 11 around 7:30 PM. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving before sunset. From the main road, it’s about 800 meters on an unlit, off-road path—completely dark at night. But trust me, once you arrive, all the effort melts away. The peacefulness, the scenery, the whole atmosphere… it was even more than we expected. The caretakers were incredibly kind and welcoming. Although we didn’t share a common language, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Translation apps helped us communicate, and the experience felt warm and genuine. They offer home-cooked breakfast and lunch (for an additional cost), which I highly recommend—especially since the location is a bit remote from the main tourist spots. Getting to Kaindy Lake took us around 30 minutes, and Kolsai Lake’s parking was about 45 minutes away. Despite the distance, we were glad to return to this peaceful retreat each evening. Our family stayed for two nights, and our kids absolutely fell in love with the place. Every morning, cows, horses, and sheep would roam freely nearby—it felt like a scene from a fairytale. There’s also a gentle stream within walking distance and several traditional yurts on the property. The view alone left us speechless. It’s hard to put into words how magical it felt to wake up surrounded by nature, mountains, and pure silence. We've stayed in luxury hotels before, but none have left us with the same memories or feelings as this stay did. It’s not just accommodation—it’s an experience. A place where you reconnect with nature, slow down, and feel grounded. We can’t wait to tell our loved ones about this special place. Truly one of the most unforgettable stays we've ever had. The people, the setting, the peace—it’s all beyond five stars.

Super accueil, le lieu est proche de la nature, et les membres de l'équipe proposent tous les services pour un bon moment ! Une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale qui met a l'aise. Le petit dejeuner est top (tout fait maison, la confiture est excellente), vous pouvez manger une sélection de plats locaux et traditionnels !

Il aurait fallu rester plus longtemps... on a finit nos vacances trop tot !

We stayed for only one night after visiting Charyn Canyon and before visiting Kolsai and Kaindy. We were glad to find such a clean, calm and cosy house, that is embedded in a "resort" that contains Yurts, appartments and the owners house. The house for spacious for a family of three (or four). Its a perfect place to decelerate in the nature. There is limited room to prepare food yourself but you can order dinner and breakfast from a menu. Both was freshly prepared and tasty. The hosts were very friendly and made this short stay memorizable. The road is a little bumpy but completely fine even without 4×4. Would definately recommend even for a longer stay.

The price of the accomodation and food is slightly higher than comparable options in the surrounding (+20%), but its still definitely worth it.
