We had an absolute blast staying at this stunning property with my office colleagues! Spread across an acre of lush greenery, the property is a tranquil oasis that exceeded our expectations. The clean swimming pool was a highlight, and every spot on the property is picture perfect - we clicked countless photos to cherish the memories. The spacious rooms were comfortable, and the additional double bed provided was a thoughtful touch. The house was spotless, and the caretaker, Mr. Ramesh, was extremely polite, helpful, and caring throughout our stay. He ensured a seamless experience from check-in to check-out. Our host, Mr. Rajan, was prompt and delivered more than promised. His attention to detail and commitment to excellence shone through in every aspect of the property. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The property is truly worth visiting, and we would definitely come back again. Thank you Rajan for making our stay unforgettable.

Luxury Comfort Near Airport, Bus and Train stops

Sai KrishnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Pros:The property looks exactly like the images — no surprises, which is rare and much appreciated. A dedicated computer table is available, making it ideal for remote work. The bedroom is equipped with a good air conditioner, making sleep comfortable even during warmer nights. Internet connectivity is available. I experienced a minor lag, but it was negligible. Suggestions for Improvement: Towels were not provided during my stay. Housekeeping service is not included, which was already clearly mentioned in the house rules by the host. Guests are expected to maintain cleanliness similar to how they would in their own homes. Guests are expected to keep the trash bin outside by 8 AM daily There is a "quiet hours" rule from 11 PM to 6 AM, during which the main gate remains locked. If you need access or expect deliveries during this time, you’ll need to contact the host. It’s important to read all the property rules in advance to avoid surprises
