Lush greens
Tropical is what you get when enjoying your private balcony in our garden.

‘Work’ from Goa ;)
Many guests enjoy the apartment as a workspace as we have a good internet connection and full size desk. The mobile network inside the home is not very strong depending on the operator - Vodafone works best.

Close to the beach, close to Baga! :D

With just a short two-minute walk down a private walkway (a perk from Merlin's family!), you will find yourself on the lovely Calangute-Baga beach. On the way to the beach you will find the tropical swimming pool and Bongo’s, Merlin’s brother’s beach shack. It’s the perfect spot for a laid back day with a cold drink, tasty food, and sunbeds.

And a five-minute walk in the other direction brings you to the main Calangute-Baga road with all it's shops, restaurants and bars. Everything you need is just a short walk away—whether it’s a quick snack, a shopping spree, or a night out.

Here’s what’s around the corner by foot:

2 minutes: Sink your toes into the sand at Calangute-Baga beach or grab a bite at the beach shacks.
3 minutes: Enjoy Indian flavors or continental dishes at Relish restaurant.
3 minutes: Find everyday groceries at Nisha's shop.
