Every thing. It was lovely. Good access into the pool, lots of birds around. Staff were very attentive. We loved it.

Nothing but a couple of recommendations. It would be nice to have binoculars around as birds round the pool were great. Also put you propery on a Bird Spooters site as lovely place to stay and fab area to see many varieties. It could do with a tea towel and washing up clothes in kitchen area as none there.

One of the best places to stay in Goa. The place was very spacious and very aesthetically designed. A great place for birdwatching from the balcony since it is surrounded by numerous trees. Friendly staff and good food.

5 star amenities, homestay charm

If you are looking for a nice quaint place in the midst of nature then this location is ideal. The staff here are super helpful and courteous. Sushil and Allwyn will make sure that they leave no stone unturned to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast spread is delicious and scrumptious. We felt like the service here was like that of a 5 star hotel with the charm of a homestay. We met the owner too who is very friendly and helped us alot with activities and food related queries. The rooms are well furnished with wood and gives a very cosy country side charm. The pool too is well maintained and designed artistically.

Just nitpicking but the toilet could use an exhaust. The current window cannot be opened coz of privacy. The place is furnished with a lot of effort and thought process put in otherwise. Having some thicker curtains in the bedroom would help late-in sleepers like us to rest well. maybe.
