Wan kai! (Khasi for Come, be our guest). At the entrance of our home stands our mango tree, which has given us its fruits for as long as we can remember. It is also the tree that inspired our logo, which shows a mango tree and a house. When you arrive, look out for it — and feel free to pluck a mango if you see one! Our place is right by the main road, which is actually a big advantage — every 5 minutes you can easily catch a taxi, and there are small shops and restaurants all around. It feels lively and connected. At the same time, just a few meters inside our property, you step into another atmosphere: greener, calmer, and more relaxed. Sometimes you may also hear children from the neighbours playing — part of the everyday life here. Our sit out is ready for you to enjoy fresh air and quiet moments. The garden is still under construction, but little by little it’s becoming a green corner we are excited to share. Our place has been transformed into a modern stay where nature and sustainability play a big part. When building the rooms and sit out, we tried to use as much local products as possible, keeping the spirit of the land alive.

For many years, our place was more a tea shop (kwai store) than a homestay. People stopped by for tea and for the everyday things they needed. For over 20 years, our mother also ran the restaurant Dee Gees next door, where we as kids helped her in our free time. It was there that we first learned the meaning of hospitality — welcoming people, serving food, and making them feel at home. For generations, our family has been welcoming people, so hospitality comes natural to us. With our parents now retired, it’s the new generation’s turn to continue the tradition — blending warmth, nature and tradition in our own way.

Our home is in Mawlai Nongkwar, easy to find on Google Maps. If not, don’t worry — we are near the Old Gate leading to Lynti Rim, the old road to Guwahati where our parents generation went fishing and picnicing. The road is still there, and if you like to go for a walk in this green and lush enviroment, we will be more than happy to join you. Our home is located right on the main road, with shops, taxis, and daily conveniences just steps away — making it easy and well connected for all kinds of travelers. At the same time, just a few meters from the property, you’ll find yourself surrounded by nature and farmland, offering a refreshing countryside feel without losing accessibility. Within about 10 minutes by car, guests can enjoy a variety of activities and facilities, including sports grounds, fishing spots, a futsal court, and swimming pools.
