HOME
"The grandparents home"
Every guest is welcomed the way family is — the open fields, the plunge pool, the bonfire evenings, the space to run and explore and just be — was built with their grandchildren in mind. So that one day, this place would be theirs to come home to.
Built by hand, not by contractors.
The plunge pool, the gazebo, the bonfire corners, the mud-built house — Anand shaped all of it himself. Nothing here was ordered from a catalogue.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Made for people who want a real break
This farm stay near Bangalore is for families who want space for their children to run. Couples looking for something quieter than a hotel. Friends who want to sit around a fire and actually talk. People who bring their dogs and mean it when they say the pet is family.
If you want to wake up to birds, eat well, and feel genuinely rested — Thathachimanai was made for you.
Your whole group. Your dog too.
