Location

Although the road from Kolkata to the property can be bumpy, the proximity to the city, only an hour's drive away, makes it an easily accessible retreat from the hustle and bustle. While the river front is a little faraway and could be cleaner, guests who appreciate being away from it all will like the location. The neighbourhood village adds to the peaceful and secluded setting, although access can be difficult without a car reservation. Despite the challenges, guests seem to enjoy the location with one saying, "I like the location - the venue is in a very nice place."
