Hiring the whole house
Minimum two nights – book well ahead!
Ever wanted to live in a tea estate bungalow? Jungle Tide is available for hire as a whole bungalow on a staffed basis. Minimum two night stays and it is best to book well in advance.
For longer stays at Mulberry Cottage, please see the page A Longer Stay. For extended bookings of the whole house (two weeks or more) please enquire for special rates.
Capacity and rooms
The maximum number of people the house can comfortably accommodate is 8. We may be able to accommodate slightly larger groups, please enquire with your full details. The bedrooms are a family room (sleeps 4), a double and a twin room. We also have a cot available. Hire of the whole house on a self-catering basis is restricted to the times we are not there, please check. When we are at Jungle Tide the three guest rooms may be hired together (max 8 pax) on a B&B basis.
We also have a separate two-bedroom house, Mulberry Cottage, which sleeps 4 people and this can also be hired for an additional charge. This house has a large living/dining area, bathroom, kitchen and a study area. It has a small garden and terrace by the stream. Mulberry Cottage is our budget accommodation. It is delightful but does not offer the same standards of comfort as the main Jungle Tide bungalow.
Unfortunately due to previous experience we do not accept single sex adult groups.
Staffing
Jungle Tide is a staffed bungalow. Our housekeepers, Martin and Rani, live on site in their own separate quarters and will keep everything spotless. They will also manage the pool and gardens, wash up and generally deal with everything, all included in your price – so you can relax! They can also arrange local transport for you if required.
Rani is a renowned cook and she will prepare dinners for you for an additional price per person. The rate incudes breakfasts. if you want to do your own cooking please contact us to discuss requirements and rates Rani will also do your laundry if required.
House Exchanges
We are active on several house exchange sites and often exchange a week or more at Jungle Tide for places we want to go to (particularly in the UK), or for “guest points”. If you are interested in a house exchange please contact us. We do not do house exchanges for guest points at peak periods – July/August and mid-December to end of February – but at these periods we offer a 15% discount to house swappers if they decide to come as paying guests, either for the whole house or just one or two rooms.

Terms and Conditions
Full terms and conditions will be provided when you book. The essentials are:
Respect for our staff
Jungle Tide is their home and they need time off and to be treated at all times with respect.
Reasonable care not to damage our property.
Of course we expect occasional breakages but if our staff report that damage was caused either deliberately or by negligence on the part of anyone in your group, including children, replacement costs will be added to your bill.
Pets
Pets are not permitted in the main bungalow as we have two (friendly) dogs. If you are staying at Mulberry Cottage it may be possible for you to bring pets, but please check and disc uss with us beforehand.
You will not be required to look after our dogs! They do sleep in the house but are not allowed in bedrooms or on furniture. Both are very docile and child-friendly and they will also accompany you on walks if you wish.
