Important pointers to note before filling out the Reservation request form

We are a mindful sustainable farm stay. We ask you to keep calm and peace during your stay here. 10 PM to 6 AM is a zero noise period.
We do not have a television in either of the rooms. We do have board games. There is a loaded bookshelf with fiction and non-fiction books. You will also find musical instruments. Additionally, there is plenty of outdoor space to spend time in and contemplate the purpose of life and your life.
Both rooms are on the first floor with access only by a staircase.
The ground floor has the dining area and it is semi-outdoor.
Both rooms are naturally cool. So, they do not have air conditioners.
We do not have trash pick up facility at the farm. So, please carry back all non-compostable waste.
There is no wifi at the farm. The 5G speeds are good enough to run / upload videos at the farm.
Unfortunately, we are not a pet-friendly farm yet. The dogs at the farm are adopted from the street – they tend to be territorial as a pack when other animals visit. The fact that we live next to a forest has only ensured that they look at other animals, except the ones that call the farm their home, as adversaries.
We ask you not to be inebriated or smoke while at the farm.
