We strongly advice that you go through our website, and read these FAQs that are very likely to answer most of the queries that come to us. Once you have completely gone through the website and still have queries, we request you to send us a single WhatsApp message detailing your specific query which is not about price/tariff and/or availability and/or room type detail (which can be seen on the website) . If you must call, then please restrict your calls to between 10:00am - 11:00am, and 4:00pm - 5:00pm. We receive hndreds of calls every day and it might be impossible to respond to all of them about the exact same things. However, we are at your service, and will respond to your WhatsApp queries at the earliest, or we will call you back at the first possible chance

Checkin - 01:00 PM in the afternoon
Checkout: 10:00 AM in the morning
First off, there is no bureaucracy about the room checkin. If the room that you have booked is empty on the previous night, then we will give you the room as soon as the staff is ready, which would typically be between 8:00 and and 8:30 am. In the event that there is a guest in the room, there will be a cleaning time after the guest checks out at 10:00 am, or latest by 10:30 am and the earliest you can get the room will probably be around 12 noon, but to set the right expectation, your check-in will probably be 1:00pm. However, you can leave your luggage in a common area of the property that is monitored by a CCTV until the check-in time, and can go on a stroll to the beach, or for breakfast, and come back for the check-in time.
A late check-out will unfortunately not be possible. As our systems are online, we can hope to sell the rooms online for the 1:00 pm check-in, or anytime after, which we cannot predict. There is however a possibility during the non-peak times to book the room for half a day, at half the charge of a day, to hold the room until your departure
There is no property in Gokarna which has a private beach (at the time of writing this) There might be reviews that mention that it felt like a private beach (maybe because there were very few people at the time, but the beaches are all public, and we do not have a private beach at any of our properties.
We do not have any activities that are run or managed by us There might be activities that third parties might be operating based on their assessment of business viability. Depending on the season and the weather, there can be a host of activities like jet skies, zorbing, banana boat rides, boat rides, kayaking, surfing etc. or none at all. We are not responsible for the availability of such third party services during your visit.
It is very difficult specify whether one needs AC or not, as it is a very personal liking. If one is used to 18/19/20 C then it is advisable to take AC. But the temperatures vary based on the time of the year, and with the changes over the last few years it has been very hard to predict But the thing to consider is, the temperature and humidity outside is what it is, given that Gokarna is a beach side village, and being in an AC room gives you less incentive to step out, as being out feels more uncomfortable after being in an air-conditioned room.
Apart from being able to reasonably state that 1) Mid April till June are likely to be hot, November to March being pleasant, and july and August being wet,
we are not in a position to confidently state anything other than the weather as it is now (and neither can the meteorological it appears before 24 hours :-).
The rains have been highly unpredictable and lasting longer while pouring down at unexpected times.
So as variant of they say for disappointment, " expect rains, so you wont be disappointed if it does" seems to be what would be the ideal temperment.
