“recommended to family's outing & stay for one night during the trip.”
We got breakfast from outside. But location is very good. big land with trees and enough space for the car parking. land covered from wall with CCTV. recommended to family's outing stay for one night during the trip. there are AC and non-AC but non-AC is enough since Fan's are there. Cost was Rs 3,000 per night we stay 5 family members in one room. 1 (6x5') bed with double bed.

The bathroom does not have a proper lock. The cleanliness of the bathroom is extremely poor. One of the bathroom doors was broken and it could not even close. When we informed the staff they did not care about that even a bit

The room was very clean and comfortable. The lady who is in charge was very friendly and provided excellent hospitality. Definitely worth the money.

The place was clean, quiet, and easily reachable as we traveled by our own vehicle. It is only 100 meters from the main road, although the road leading to the place is narrower, making it difficult for two vehicles to pass each other. However, since it is not too far from the main road, this wasn't a problem for us. A room included two double beds, a ceiling fan, a dressing table, a clothes hanging rack, a plastic table, and a chair. The owner mentioned that she could provide bed tea and other services according to our needs.
