A look around
What's here
The home sits in the middle of betel plantations, inside its own private garden. In the evenings, guests watch fireflies from the balconies. It’s a simple, well-maintained space, built for quiet stays in Asia’s cleanest village.
The house has five bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom, and can sleep up to 10 people. The rooms are clean and straightforward, with fresh blankets and basic amenities, including an electric kettle for tea. The bathrooms are equipped with a geyser for hot water. The host, Hamlin, lives nearby and is known for his quiet help, from carrying luggage to pre-heating rooms on cold days. As one guest put it, the home is "exclusive with its own private garden, backside balcony."
While the remote host, Sachin, often helps guests plan their Meghalaya itinerary, Hamlin is the one on the ground. Guests remember his small gestures. "The host Hamlin was also a gem of a person," one wrote. "He gave us Betel Nuts as a token of gift and also was very polite and courteous." Another noted, "he was pre heating the room for us as it was very cold outside."
