The Cottage
The Cottage is a three bedroom chalet with ensuite bathrooms that can be booked exclusively. You do not have to share the cottage with any other guests from now. It sleeps a minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 guests. Extra beds can be arranged. This makes it ideal for family and friends looking to spend a cosy and fun few days together and also allows for optimum privacy as couples have the option of booking out the entire cottage just for themselves.
The three suites each have their own character. Suite 2 and 3 each have a bedroom, a small lounge, a fireplace and running hot water. Suite 1 has a larger bedroom with an attached bathroom and a fireplace which overlooks the garden and waterhole. The Cottage has a common dinning where guests can dine watch Tv, play Carom and boardgames, read and surf the internet.
What separates us from the rest is our decision to stay small whilst keeping your level of interaction with others on a very familiar level. Unlike other resorts, at The Cottage you will only see your friends and family, if at all. We are small and intimate and can cater to every need of yours. Our dedicated staff with a chef, a unique manager, a masseuse and other tribal staff makes the experience unique as we focus on truly personalizing your stay.

The cottage has two suites and one double room. The details of each room is given below:
ELEPHANT SUITE (Suite one) – The bedroom is large and sleeps two. Its called the elephant suite as a few of our guests have woken up to find elephants walking past their window. The reading room with a bonfire, is also very spacious and an extra bed can be accommodated in this space with ease. The bathroom has ample space and running hot and cold water in the rain shower with a flush loo. He entrance is a small private affair adding to the romance.
CHITAL SUITE (Suite two) – The bedroom is small and cozy with a fireplace. It looks out into the teak plantation and more often than not you will have wildlife grazing but a few yards from the window. It’s truly a magnificent wildlife experience where people have jumped out of their skins at night even as the spotted deer roared their rutting calls. A few have seen leopard stalking wild boar from the window. The bed is not large and just perfect for a loving couple. If you like space when you sleep then its suggested that one person can sleep in the single bed in the attached room. The reading room is large with a writing desk. The bathroom has a bath, running hot and cold water in the shower and a flush loo.
WILD BOAR ROOM (Room three) – The bedroom is large overlooking a waterhole and has its own fireplace. It looks out into open where you could find wildlife drinking water bot in the day and night. In the dry season elephants use this waterhole with regularity. The bed is large and comfortable. The bathroom has a bath, running hot and cold water in the shower and a flush loo.
