The space 🌿 A Note from Our Family Welcome to our peaceful coconut estate! 🌴 Please feel at home and enjoy the property as if it were your own — this is also our family’s home when we visit. We’re grateful to share our tranquil eco-friendly retreat with guests who appreciate quiet moments, reflection, and the simple joy of slowing down before returning to their busy lives. This ancestral home has been lovingly modernized with great care and affection. For those curious, we’ve put together a photo album showing its transformation over the years. This too will be found on your coffee table. Our home can sleep 5 people comfortably. Feel free to reach out to our caretakers (or myself if I am around) if you need any help. Our kind caretaker and his wife are happy to prepare delicious home-cooked meals if you bring your own ingredients for up-to 6 persons— a thoughtful remuneration for their service is always appreciated. We kindly ask that you treat our home with respect and leave it as you found it — or even a little better. Thank you for helping us keep the spirit of this home alive. 💛 Guest access Feel free to explore the 20-acre property! Guests are welcome to walk around at their own risk. Children should be supervised, and we recommend wearing covered shoes off the main paths. Enjoy the diverse bird life, their young and song during the day. You might be lucky to see a flying squirrel, a snake, a mongoose, monitor lizards, chattering monkeys and at night wild boar. While we respect your privacy, our caretaker and his wife are nearby and happy to assist. Please respect the privacy of the residents on this working estate. You may even bring your own bicycle and cycle on the estate premises and the surrounding village. Feel free to explore the village, meet the elephants, and enjoy the open spaces — all at your own pace. Other things to note Bringing Your Pet 🐾 You’re very welcome to bring your pet along — we understand they’re part of the family! We kindly ask that pets stay off the sofas, chairs, beds, and other furniture, as some of us and other guests may have allergies. It’s best to bring their own bed or pet abode to help them feel comfortable. When out and about please keep them on Lead / Leash for theirs and others safety, as it is a new experience for them too. Please also note that there are two friendly dogs on the property, so you’ll know in advance before bringing your own pet. We hope your furry / feathered friend enjoys their stay too! 🐶🐱🦜
