The Stay
Five rooms. One forest.
Ratapani Range Retreat holds only five rooms, each shaped around the light, the trees and the silence that surround it. Book one, or take the whole estate.
Rooms & Cottages
Where you will sleep.
Every room is different because the land is different. Some open to lawns, some to the teak line, one to a stone hearth. All of them share the same view: untouched forest, in every direction.
The Writing Desk Room
Tall green windows open onto the teak line, with a desk and cane chair beside them. Mornings arrive with birdsong instead of alarms.
- Double bed
- Private balcony
- Open-to-sky shower
The Arch Room
Reached through the arched colonnade, with a sit-out looking across the lawns towards the tree line.
- Double bed
- Fireplace
- Garden access
The Terrace Room
Set along the upper terrace, this room looks out over the landscape — a good seat for dawn mist and dusk calls.
- Double bed
- Terrace sit-out
- Picnic table
The Garden Room
Wrapped in flowering garden beds, close to the lawn where children and long conversations both wander.
- Double bed
- Garden sit-out
- Open-to-sky shower
The Hearth Room
Anchored by its fireplace and warm wall lamps. Evenings here are slow, and entirely your own.
- Double bed
- Fireplace
- Lounge corner
Two new villas, almost ready.
Two private villas are taking shape on the estate — each with its own sit-out, a kitchenette and a private swimming pool, held apart from the main house for complete quiet. They are expected to open in time for Christmas.
- Private sit-outs
- Kitchenette
- Private swimming pool

Why Stay With Us
An estate that belongs to the forest.
Only Five Rooms
Small by design. The estate never feels crowded, and the forest never feels watched.
On The Reserve Edge
Wildlife moves along the boundary at first and last light — often within sight of your room.
Whole-Estate Buyouts
Families and groups can reserve the entire retreat for complete exclusivity.
Home, Not Hotel
Built as an extension of our own home, with hospitality that is personal rather than procedural.
