With just 5 cosy rooms and large gardens all over the Property, our home offers a relaxing, green, peaceful ambience for guests to unwind and relax. With 80+ documented species of birds and a variety of flora and fauna, we are the perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of the City. We operate only as a Bed & Breakfast . We do not serve Lunch or Dinner at the Homestay. Delivery of Home cooked meals is possible with advance notice. Restaurant food can be ordered on Swiggy or Zomato. Crockery, Cutlery, Drinking water, Refrigerator and Microwave are available in the common dining area. Infant food can be organised here with prior notice at a nominal cost. We have two friendly dogs on the property which are never tied up. We have two small water bodies on the property which are not covered. Children need to be supervised by their parents at all times. As we are in a Natural surrounding, the guests are requested to keep the room mesh door closed to avoid reptiles and insects. It is not advisable to walk outside the property post 07:00 pm as we sometimes have wild boar coming from Chamundi Hills Staff and Manager are available from 07;00 am to 06:00 p.m. From 06;00 to 09;00 p.m In case of any urgent requirements Yamuna or Mersiya may be contacted.

Autos and Taxis can be ordered through Ola/Uber. We also have our own contacts for Autos and travel service which can arrange taxis.
Our guests are made to feel part of the family and will experience Indian hospitality at its best. We are able to share aspects about the Kodava and Parsi Culture and enjoy conversations about all aspects of our fascinating Country. Above all, we look forward to our guests experiencing the warmth and the soul of the real India. Yoga and Cookery classes on request add to the local experience.
We are located at the foot of the Chamundi hills, barely 2.5km from the Zoo and city center. We have famous Ayurvedic Spa treatments next door and the Golf Club, Sports Club, Windflower and Lalitha Mahal Palace hotel are our immediate neighbours. The main Mysore Palace, Jaganmohan Art Gallery and a host of activities/shopping and sight seeing are easily accessible. It is a great area for walking, running ,cycling, and bird watching .
