01 — The stay

A new resort, an old promise.

The property sits in the forest near Ganeshgudi. Rooms are simple and newly finished, the pool looks back at the cottages, and the team has been arranging Dandeli trips for twenty years.

  • Friendly staff who already know the river timings
  • A private guide when you want the plan handled
  • A secured property for families and groups
  • Close to the water activities, so the afternoon is not a long transfer

07 — Why guests book here

Fair price, clean rooms, forest all around.

01

Friendly staff

The same desk that takes the booking is the one that walks you through river timings.

02

Private guide

Ask for a guide if you want the day arranged instead of figured out on the road.

03

Secured property

The property is secured, which matters for families and for a late dinner by the fire.

04

Near the water

About 5 km from the Ganeshgudi activity stretch, so the afternoon is not spent in a bus.

“The rooms were clean, the amenities felt new, and the forest was the part we kept talking about. The customised package was priced in a way that actually made sense.”
