This place is truly incredible. The surroundings are stunning and very pleasant. They have a large area filled with a variety of trees and even have a beekeeping setup. We stayed for a night, and the dormitory was very spacious, easily accommodating 20-25 people. For couples and small groups, there are private huts available. With 3-4 swimming pools, there was plenty of space for everyone, and we had access to the pools all night. The staff were extremely friendly and respected our privacy. The highlight of our stay was the food, which was included in the package. We enjoyed delicious meals, including an authentic Goan fish thali for lunch with fresh fish. The entire area is well maintained and very clean, and they offer various activities like ziplining to enjoy.

Lovely farm with natural beauty. Lots of spice plants to learn from. A natural perennial stream in the farm makes for a refreshing dip in the pools. Besides this, there is a manmade pool for a swim. Rock climbing and Zip line are exciting. But these are on a payment basis.There is a day program consisting of breakfast, lunch and evening tea. Lunch is a buffet type with goan dishes. Tea has lemon grass flavor which is very good. Finally some of the spices are sold in the farm. At times, we can purchase pineapple and papaya when available. Internet not available when you get out of main road but in the farm, wifi is available. Worth a visit.
