Why People Love It

  • Unbeatable sunset views from the elevated 'Machan' rooms
  • Walking distance to the serene Chakratirth Beach
  • Peaceful location next to the INS Khukri Memorial, away from the main town chaos

Quick Take: A stunning location with million-dollar views, occasionally let down by maintenance hiccups and a strictly vegetarian kitchen.

Reviewed by @wanderwithpooja: I stayed in these adorable Hobbit-styled cottages and fell in love! Waking up to a direct sea view every morning was a dream, and the food was surprisingly delicious. It’s the perfect spot if you want something unique and relaxing right on the beach.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Guests are blown away by the location and the 'Machan' room views but often grumble about the price-to-value ratio regarding room maintenance.

Reality check

You are paying for the view and the 'Praveg' brand, not for 5-star international service standards.

  • You are a vegetarian traveler or love Gujarati/Indian veg cuisine
  • You want a romantic sunset spot that feels private
  • You prefer a calm, hill-top vibe over a party beach

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though sometimes slow to respond to ad-hoc requests.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean surfaces, but watch out for maintenance issues like loose faucets or slow drains.
  • Maintenance: The weak point. Reports of broken LED lights, non-working fridges, and peeling paint are common.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and white, standard hotel quality.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh sea breeze usually masks any room odors, though closed cottages can smell slightly musty if AC isn't running.

Before you book

Good to know

  • Alcohol IS available at the Nemo Cafe Bar (unlike in Gujarat state), but food is veg-only.
  • The pool is outdoor and 'sun-kissed', not indoor as some booking sites erroneously claim.
  • It's a 'Tent City' style brand, but these are hard-structure cottages, not fabric tents.

What to pack

  • Personal hotspot/dongle (hotel WiFi is unreliable)
  • Walking shoes for the rocky path to the beach
  • Snacks if you are a hardcore non-vegetarian

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Sea View Machan (Elevated Cottage) — worth the upgrade for the privacy and unobstructed ocean panorama
  • Cottages 101-105 — closest to the edge for best views

Rooms to avoid

  • Rear cottages near the reception/parking area (less privacy, noise from arrivals)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am booking a stay and specifically request a 'Sea View Machan' or a front-row cottage facing the ocean. Please ensure the room is away from the reception area and has a working mini-fridge.”
