The property
Stone walls, red Mangalore tile, a verandah that runs the length of the house. Five bedrooms, ten beds, and enough lawn for twenty people to eat outside. Built for reunions where the point is the table, not the pool.
- Original 1940s stone construction, restored 2023
- 1.2 km from Billimoria and St. Peter's
- 100 Mbps fibre — the only reliable workation option in Shahunagar
The recurring line in reviews is that it feels like a house, not a rental.

Direct vs OTA
The same nights, two prices
| Booking channel | Weekend night |
|---|---|
| OTAs and villa aggregators | ₹24,000 |
| Direct with Juju Travels | ₹17,500 |
You keep ₹6,500 a night by booking direct, and the owner keeps their margin too. Aggregators charge the guest more and pay the owner less — this is what is left when you remove them.

- 20 guests maximum. Exceeding the stated occupancy can end the stay without refund.

The Shahunagar Bungalow — questions
How many guests can The Shahunagar Bungalow sleep?
10 guests on proper beds across 5 bedrooms. With 10 extra mattresses the property takes up to 20. Extra guests above 10 are charged ₹850 per person per night.
Is there a pool at The Shahunagar Bungalow?
No. There is no pool on this property. If a pool matters for your group, our private-pool collection is the better starting point — we will tell you honestly which of those fit your dates.
Can we reach The Shahunagar Bungalow in a normal sedan?
Yes. The approach road is paved right up to the gate and a low-clearance sedan is fine in every season. Panchgani lanes narrow in places, so drive slowly after dark.
How do meals work at The Shahunagar Bungalow?
The rate is room-only. The in-house kitchen offers a pure vegetarian meal plan at ₹750 per person per day for veg and ₹1,000 for non-veg, or you can order à la carte. A barbecue or bonfire evening is available as an add-on at ₹700 per person.
Why is this cheaper than the OTA price?
The rate here is the owner's direct tariff. Aggregators list The Shahunagar Bungalow at around ₹24,000 for the same weekend night after their margin. Booking direct removes that margin, and we take nothing from the guest side.
