A bend in the river. More like a creek. A solitary boat inspiring endless thought. Quiet waters holding conversations with blissful hornbills. A flourishing frangipani on the sprawling lawns. Rustic cottages inspiring a break from the humdrum. The allure to laze in the azure pool. Winding paths amidst lush tropical greens. The waft of the distant sea. The soul kicks in.
You will find that the life here is sheer poetry, almost Hemingwayesque, urging you to take a chance to connect with the silence of the backyard. Appreciate the indulgent dare of this little piece of heaven. A home we have chosen to share.
“The other side of Goa beckons you. Life begins at Olaulim Backyards.” This is how Pirkko Fernandes, who wrote to us, likes to describe the beautiful homestay run by her and her husband Savio. You will share the quaint property with the family pets – 3 dogs, a pony, a donkey and a cat. The guest accommodation consists of three cottages, unique in size and décor, situated in different levels of the foliage in the backyard. They are very rustic, choosing to make best of locally available elements like bamboo, local stone , coconut wood and palm leaves.
The cottages are all air-cooled, the windows are large thus capturing the through breeze, and enabling you to sleep and reside completely in harmony with nature. The bathrooms are tropical style, roof partly open to invite sunlight and offering a vista painted by the Goan sky and towering trees. All the rooms have a safe and a tea/coffee maker.
Apart from chilling in the infinity pool, guests can partake in activities like canoeing, kayakind, cycling, nature treks and scuba diving lessons can also be arranged.
