The place is well equipped with everything one would need for a comfortable stay, and Clyde is thorough, prompt and passionate about making you feel like you belong. We ate all our meals at the property, they were sourced through Clyde and catered by Sangeeta tai, the caretaker’s wife, who lives in the village close by. All the food was lip-smacking, homely and wholesome. The caretaker (mama) spent the day tending to the property and making sure the pool is clean for our use. Clyde’s place is definitely on our list for a longer visit next time!

It was wonderful to see so many different varieties of plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables, incl several with medicinal properties. Their passion and knowledge in this field came out very clearly during our interaction then.

The bungalow has 2 large bedrooms and a large living room with an ample sized open kitchen on one side. Most amenities that one would require were there. Overall, it was very comfortable with special attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Clyde was very prompt in his responses and suggestions and did everything necessary to make us feel at home. The caretaker was super helpful too, a cheerful person who was happy to go out of his way to attend to anything we needed.

Swimming pool, bonfine on each night etc added more enjoyment to our stay. There is a very friendly and adorable dog which stays in the farm. WIFI worked well.

For food, we tried both the locally cooked food from village (Clyde arranged) as well as from simple restaurants within 10-15 mins drive - both options were good and are worth trying.

Weather was very pleasant (in December 3rd week), almost cold. Cross-ventilation within the bungalow is good. The bungalow does not have AC - I wouldn't know about summer, but in winter/monsoons, I dont think it is required. Amazingly, despite so much greenery/vegetation there, we were not bothered by mosquitos / insects.

Thanks Clyde and Bhavika for your hospitality, we had a really good stay.

The house is impeccably kept, very child friendly, with all the basic amenities in living areas and a fully equipped kitchen if you choose to cook, and even books and toys for the kids. If needed, caretaker Sunita is available to bring prepared breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner for extra payment.

We enjoyed walking around the well maintained farm -- to look at the various trees, and the flying insects and butterflies, lizards, the umpteen jumping frogs and the occasional crab as well -- Clyde gave a us a tour on the first day.

Of course, the highlight of the stay for the kids (and for us) was jumping in to the elegant swimming pool right in the backyard whenever they got a chance -- the caretaker took constant care of it to keep it clean of any stray leaves and twigs that fell into it. In the evenings, just as it started to get chilly, we lit up the bonfire that the caretaker set up for us in the day and enjoyed hanging out around it until later in the night.

All in all, a homestay with all the right things in place to ensure a relaxing break.
