We have been to couple of other Neemrana properties and this one lived upto their standards! Nice location, great property and outstanding service by just three staff members! The perfect non-hotel hotel. Loved every moment of it and shall surely recommend to all off beat travelers!:-)

We have been introduced to this 'non-hotel' initiative through our architect friends. So when the chance of driving all the way to western ghats came, we thought we should drop by at this property.
