    Thanks to Aunty for such a warm welcome! Highly recommended. Beautiful homestay. Thumbs up for the cleanliness. Serene view. It’s one of the best option whether you are coming with family or friends for a peaceful stay. It’s just 20 mins drive from mall road and you can easily get cabs from ‘Auckland Tunnel’ towards location at a reasonable price. The owners are helpful and friendly. A grocery store is just adjacent to the property where u can buy everything. Overall I had a wonderful experience staying here.

    True meaning of "homestay ". Mr. Akash is a such a lovely host. He arranged everything we asked for. Actually we planned short trip for our anniversary and he knew it and he gave us surprise by arranging cake. Big room , neat and cleaned. Everything was sparkling cleaned. Home made veg food is cheery on the cake during this pandemic. Next time we will come with our entire family for longer stay.
