Lovely location; me and my daughter loved it . The walks alongside with the peacocks were a one of a kind experience. Given the landscape and location of the rooms it is not suitable for old people or people with leg/walking problems as it involves some level of walking around on uneven terrains even to reach the go cart. Given the location and peacocks I personally believe it is a very expensive stay.
