Can we use the kitchen in the bungalow?

As a rule, we allow use of the kitchen only for emergency purposes. Food arrangements are separately handled by the caretaker You are welcome to use the refrigerator.
For requirements like milk/tea for children you can inform the caretaker accordingly.

Is there any provision of vegetarian/non-vegetarian food?

Yes. There are two options:
a) Home cooked food by the caretaker who is 24×7 on-premises. We will give you the caretaker’s no after payment so that you can discuss the options and the rates with him before-hand.
We hold an FSSAI license so you can be assured that the food is hygienically cooked.
b) Hotels across the road: There are 3 hotels just 2 mins away. If required, the caretaker can get the food for you for a nominal delivery charge.
Option (a) is cheaper, option (b) is flexible.
Please note that food is @ actuals and the tariff covers only accommodation charges.

Are the bungalow and cottages nearby?

Yes, both buildings are in the same plot along with a third building for the caretaker. Although the buildings are on the same plot, they are on two corners of the plot so that privacy is maintained but not too far so that it is possible for a large group to stay partly in the bungalow and partly in the cottages.

Is the place isolated/desolate? Are there people/houses nearby? Is there proper hygiene?

By no means is our place desolate like lots of other farmhouses. It is just off the main road, there are other bungalows nearby, caretaker stays on premises, bus-stop/rickshaw-stand/hotels/shops/ATM are 3 mins walk away. There is a hospital in Borli for minor problems. It’s safe for seniors and children. Our caretaker ensures that the place remains spotless clean and extremely hygienic.

Where exactly is the farmhouse located? What are the nearby beaches?

Our property is between three beaches. The nearest beach (the one you see in some photos) is the Borli beach. Kashid beach is 8 kms (10-12 mins drive) and Korlai beach is 3 kms on the other side. Although Borli beach is a 10 mins walk, but not recommended since it’s not clean. Kashid and Korlai beach are better options. Kashid is the famous one, typically crowded and has water sports. Korlai is a relatively secluded and peaceful beach good for treks and getting away from the crowd. Murud beach, Nagaon temple, Alibaug (and it’s beaches), Birla Mandir are some of other nearby attractions. You can see the exact location on http://goo.gl/CziMcW .
