To ensure that you unwind in unlimited space, the rooms have been designed across a sprawling piece of land spanning four and a half acres. The gradual slope of the area adds to the Victorian touch of the resort and makes it look more quaint.

 

Studio apartments
34 studio apartments located in one block that is designed in the shape of a leaf, where one half offers a great view of the mountains while the other half overlooks the green lawns. So take your pick. And for that natural background for a leaf-like structure, what better than little rock gardens inside, in the ground floor?

 

One bedroom
There are 53 one bedroom apartments at Valley View, each with a dome shape structure, spread across the 7-acre plot, and offering you a choice between the mountains and the valleys. The rooms are located four to a block and some, two in a block, above the two-bedroom apartments.

 

Two bedroom
There are 25 two bedrooms, quite similar in structure to the one bedroom apartments and located across the resort property. The windows never fail to provide the frame to the perfect picture, be it that of the impressive valley or the imposing mountains around.

 

Guest rooms
There are 44 guest rooms in the resort, each offering a splendid view of the valley, with the front side facing the lush green lawns of the resort that has an area of over 11,000 sq. ft. 

You can choose from a gamut of activities that the resort has to offer or can organize for you. The events department organizes treks to the waterfalls, the mountains or the valleys, depending on the booking done each morning.
