The place

A two-bedroom private villa set in the green, for a family getaway, a trip with friends, or a workcation that actually rests you. Two comfortable bedrooms, a spacious living area, and a kitchenette stocked for light meals.

Step outside to a private sit-out over the farm, or into the pool under its canopy of trees. Evenings here are for birdsong and, once it's dark, for the stars.

The villa sits on a working farm, so you will see seasonal farming as it happens. You may also hear the village going about its day — that is part of it.

While you're here

Included
Walks along the Kabani
A gate at the end of the farm opens onto the bank. From there the walkways run along the water for as long as you want them to.
Included
The paddy collective
Three hundred acres of paddy farmed collectively, right across the road. Walking through it and meeting the villages that work it is the most honest thing you can do in Wayanad.
Included
Around the farm
Coffee, pepper, nutmeg, areca, coconut and a long list of other spices grow here. Ask, and someone will walk you through it and show you what each one looks like on the tree.
₹800 per hour
Campfire after dark
A chill settles over the farm in the evening. The firepit is the reason nobody goes inside.
