“An hour from Guwahati, yet worlds away. This home is a break from the city's rush. Thirteen rooms open to views of green hills. Walk the dew-laced lawns in the morning. Spend the day by the pool. The evenings are for quiet sunsets. A place for city-weary souls, with good food and a calm that feels like a complete new world after entering.”

A day at the house
What's here
You can walk barefoot on the dew-laced lawns at dawn. The home is just an hour from Guwahati, but the sound is different here - mostly birdsong and the quiet hum of the hills. The property is built into a terraced slope, with a large, manicured lawn at its heart, ringed by the rooms.
The home has 13 bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom, sleeping up to 26 guests in total. The rooms are clean and well-designed, with heavy wooden furniture and some with exposed stone walls. Each room has a king-sized bed and opens out to the surrounding greenery. The design is simple, meant to let the natural setting take center stage. As one guest put it, "from the architecture to the interiors and the landscape design - every detail elevates the entire experience."
The heart of the property is the outdoors. There is a large, clean swimming pool set against the terraced gardens. It’s a place to unwind, read a book, or just float. The staff are polite and caring, and many guests return, finding the place feels "familiar yet refreshing every time." The food is consistently mentioned as a highlight - decent, well-prepared meals served at the dining area.
It’s a place built for a pause. "The property is extremely well maintained and the swimming pool is crystal clean," a recent guest wrote. "It’s the perfect place for a peaceful getaway to relax, unwind and just enjoy every moment."

Just an hour from the city, yet worlds away...
