    Aesthetic, hospitality, comfort were the highlights. The property is done up very nicely. Bed & bathroom were comfortable. Caretaker went out of the way to get us hot water when geyser wasn’t working. And the evening chai by Bob was extra special.

    The place is quite close to the main city market but it's quiet and peaceful. The place is beautiful with its ponds and bonfire and tall pine trees all around. The meals are simple and absolutely delicious. The heater in the room was a life saver...

Farida Nongkynrih
Nestled in the hills, surrounded by luscious green pine trees, lies our beautifully furnished, comfortable, warm and quiet little cottage. We are opening our doors to friends and travelers who would like to experience the true feel of a Shillong home. We are located in a quiet, residential part of Shillong away from the noise and the crowd. It is an ideal place if you are looking for some relaxation, peace and serenity. We have four spacious bedrooms with king size beds. All bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have an attached bathroom and a balcony with a view of the surrounding greenery. We offer private apartment style accommodation with complimentary breakfast. Dinner is available as per your order and availability. We make simple and clean home food.
Hi, My name is Farida and this is my home which I have converted to a Home Stay. I like to travel and meet people from different parts of the world so this is another way for me to meet people and share our stories. I am also very passionate about my place of birth Shillong and would like to help people learn and see all the beauties it has to offer.
Sha Ri Loum is located in a residential area of Shillong and it is about 4 km away from Police Bazar which is the commercial centre. It is surrounded by green hills and pine trees . You will find peace and serenity here.
