What booking direct actually gets you

Every message goes to the people who run the place. That is the whole of it, and most of the difference follows from it.

The rate is the rate

Our published rates are ₹4,000 for the Macramé Room and ₹5,500 for the Valley Room, for two people, and they do not change between a Tuesday and a Saturday. Booking direct means no platform commission is added on top of that room rate.

Longer, quieter stays cost less

Stay three nights or more between Sunday and Thursday and we take 15% off. It is the same discount whether you are here to work for a week or just want the hill to yourself midweek — there is more about the longer version on the workation page.

Things we can say yes to directly

None of that is special treatment. It is just what happens when the person reading your message is the person who will be there when you arrive.

How to book

Send us your dates and how many of you there are. We reply with what is free and what it costs. The stay is then paid in full up front, and that payment is non-refundable — we set the whole thing out on booking and cancellation, including the one exception. There is no account to make and no app to install.

If you would rather not use WhatsApp, there is a short form on the homepage — four fields, and we come back to you the same way.

Send us your dates

Tell us when you would like to come and how many of you there are. We will reply with what is free, what it costs, and an honest word on the weather.
