    Accommodation

    We have a beautiful and comfortable farm house with basic amenities. There are no rooms as such - we have a small hallway, big open verandas, a very large courtyard & backyard and a beautiful large enough attic that forms our living. There is plenty of running surface water from the forest. We could definitely help you with basic bedding. We don't have electricity; barring a small solar charged battery that would help you charge your mobile. We try and practice a sustainable living model and therefore prefer not use any detergent and chemical soaps for washing and bathing.
