About this property

An affordable luxury homestay: pet-friendly, outdoor whirlpool tub

My homestay offers luxury yet is affordable. I'd like to think it's got heart but also keeps in mind your pocket. I invite you to experience the ideal blend of a hotel's cool efficiency and a home's cozy warmth.

There are two bedrooms, a large living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The master bedroom has a king-sized double bed and attached bathroom, while the second bedroom has a full bed that can accommodate one adult or two kids very comfortably, or maybe even two adults who are really big time snugglers.

You have the whole homestay to explore, along with the lawns outside, the garden and also the whirlpool tub. The Portuguese-style veranda is a lovely vantage point from where you can see the entire property while chilling in the shade, maybe with a beer or one of our complimentary Kindles in hand.

My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets). We're conveniently located close to the touristy zones of North Goa with beaches and plenty of options for shopping, wining & dining, clubbing, sightseeing and other fun pursuits. We're also close to the quieter parts of Goa where you can chill out, enjoy scenic vistas, lounge around or explore historical and cultural venues.

My love for pets means the homestay is geared to be exceedingly pet friendly. My passion for automobiles has led to special arrangements that road trippers who travel by car and on motorcycles, will definitely appreciate.

We also offer several complimentary services and amenities such as unlimited access to e-books on Kindles, high speed WiFi, Tata Sky HD on a flat screen TV, 10-seater outdoor whirlpool tub, soon-to-be-set-up outdoor mini gym with a treadmill, workout bench and weights, a kitchen with AquaGuard water purifier, three-burner cooking range, a fridge, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, cooking pots and pans, as well as crockery, cutlery and glassware. For road trippers, a DIY car wash station and air filling station. We can connect you to transport services as well as help you hire bicycles, cars, and a Harley Davidson motorcycle (for experienced riders only) to get around. You can also independently easily find public transport near our homestay.

Security elements like a safe deposit box in the master bedroom, and importantly, safety features like fire blanket and fire extinguisher are all provided. Of course, the basics we include are daily housekeeping services, toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bath soap and liquid hand wash.

Our homestay supports social causes we believe in, such as The Bicycle Project, a charity initiative that donates bicycles to tribal school kids in villages. Which is why 100% of the proceeds from the bicycle rentals at the homestay will go straight to that cause. We're also associated with old age homes, a home for children and other wonderful people doing their bit to make the world a nicer place for everyone. We're more than glad to assist you if you wish to connect with such organisations in order to donate to them or volunteer with them while you're on holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Dean D'Gama

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Dean D’Gama and I’d like to share with you a little bit about myself and how I got to creating The D’Gamas as a luxe homestay.

I returned to my Goan roots in 2002 with the intention of restoring my family home in Assagao village, Goa. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a long journey, culminating in the realisation of my long-harboured dreams.

Initially I really struggled with the local language and with adapting to the Goan schedule where getting things done meant endless waiting. So I simply decided to quite literally take matters into my own hands. I began multi-tasking, taking on tasks that would otherwise have been outsourced to an electrician, plumber and a carpenter. The results are there for all to see; a beautifully cozy homestay that boasts of minute attention to detail, all of it created without the help of either interior designers or professional interior decorators.

Perhaps I was able to pull this off as a result of years of dreaming about just such a project while working on oil rigs around the world. I’ve got a Master’s degree in Geology, and have spent more than a decade working in the lucrative but monotonous oil industry. But during all those years I really itched to start something of my own back home. Of course, I considered my family home as the best place to begin. I finally got to scratch that itch courtesy a global recession and the subsequent retrenchment. I guess losing my job made me gain so much more.

This homestay, though, is not the first business that I’ve successfully got off the ground. In the past I’ve teamed up with like-minded people and set up a variety of businesses that are still quite productive and running smoothly under my former business partners because we co-founded them with one focus in mind: customer satisfaction.

Why they chose this property

The D’Gamas luxe homestay is located at the only crossroads in Assagao, in the sunny state of Goa, which is along the western coast in the southern part of India.

This elegant cottage is built on a plot of land that measures 2200 square metres, and shares the space with the D’Gama family’s ancestral home, which was built in 1904.
