We were the only guests when we stayed at Mangaal Farmstay for three days, so it felt as though it was a haven just for us. The room was elegant and stylish in a traditional Indian/Portugese manner, with a basic but functional bathroom with shower. The pool was small but refreshing in the heat and looks wonderful skirted by palm trees and a small pagoda. Sulaksha and Danu (not sure about the spelling) looked after us extremely well. Sulaksha was obliging (happily doing our laundry) and an amazing cook, using a lot of ingredients grown on the farm, while Danu drove us to a couple of local sites at a very reasonable price. There is a great sitting room at the house, with a cool open mezzanine perfect for hanging out, playing guitar, doing yoga or whatever you fancy. Although there are no instructions about where is a good place to go for walks nearby, we discovered some great walks, both on the property and across the road, past the farm itself and over a stream into beautiful woods, where, as around the house itself, many of the more interesting trees are labelled with their names. While you are staying you must go to one of the nearby waterfalls in the Nature Reserve and also Tanshikar Spice Farm, the tour of which is excellent as is the lunch after. Thanks to everyone at Mangaal Farmstay!

More written information about where to go for walks from the house would have been helpful.
