Whispering Pines by Bindal Homestays is a Villa Homestay tastefully designed for the discerning traveler looking for an exclusive private stay. We have attempted to provide all the facilities and comforts that our guests are likely to expect in a home of this kind.

However, we would like our guests to understand that this is not designed or in any way positioned to be a hotel. While our staff is trained to delight our guests with their warm, affable and attentive disposition at all times and are well suited to manage a ‘home’, they are not trained or meant to be hotel staff. We are providing an experience of living in a luxury ‘home’ in the hills which aims to provide a comfortable, enjoyable and differentiated home experience. We DO NOT pretend or in any way project to be a hotel or resort and DO NOT have the infrastructure of either.

We want our guests to have an exceptional experience at Whispering Pines by Bindal Homestays and our team of associates will work round the clock to assure that we send you with very fond memories. Our homes are built with innate passion and we would like to urge you to treat them as your very own. In order for us to provide all our guests with a happy time during their stay and to ensure that the villa is always fresh, inviting and mood elevating, we have highlighted a set of guidelines for the use of the villa during your stay.

Please take these in the spirit that they are intended: -

1. The number of guests should not exceed the count mentioned at time of booking, at any time during the stay.

6. Dinner is served by 9.00pm. Should you require a late dinner, the food can be placed in casseroles and laid out fully along with a microwave oven in the dining area for you to consume as and when you chose.
