Who are we & where is this place?
Mannmuqi Village is a small family-run, home-style farm stay, managed by me (Sivanesh), my wife Gayathri, and my parents – Natarajan and Sujatha. We’re located near Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, just off the GST Road. It’s about an hour and a half from most parts of Chennai.
(When you search on Google Maps, it still says “Old Age Home” under our name… long story for when you get here!)

Weekend Stay
If you’re after the complete Mannmuqi experience, weekends are for you. Expect special food menus, a lively atmosphere and activities that change from weekend to weekend.
A typical weekend at Mannmuqi looks like this…
- Most guests arrive around lunchtime, settle into their rooms after lunch, and spend the afternoon slowing down.
- As the weather cools, it’s a great time to explore the farm, relax in one of the many quiet spots, take a walk through the paddy fields or enjoy a refreshing pump-set shower.
- Evenings usually include a special dinner followed by an evening hang out.
- The next morning, you can wake up early to catch the sunrise or simply sleep in before enjoying a hearty breakfast.
- Before heading home, we usually have an activity- anything from games to seasonal farm or art experiences, so you leave with something you’ve made yourself along with a few good memories from the weekend.
- Overall, it’s a slow, wholesome weekend where you can do as much- or as little- as you’d like. Whether you prefer spending time by yourself or getting to know other guests, both fit in naturally here.
You can join us for a single night (Saturday–Sunday) or stay for the whole weekend. Nothing is too rigid- get in touch and we’ll help you figure out what works best for you.

Are we pet friendly?
Yes! We have one dedicated pet-friendly room.
One thing to keep in mind is that we also have 8 dogs freely roaming around the property. They’re mostly very friendly, although they can be noisy when we have visitors.
The good news is that the property is large enough that we can guide you to areas where your dog can comfortably enjoy the space away from our resident pack.
If you’re planning to bring your pet, have a quick conversation with us beforehand and we’ll help you figure out what works best.
Do you host groups/ retreats?
If you’re planning a gathering with friends or family, or you’d like to host your own retreat, workshop or experience, we’d love to help.
Get in touch with us and we can put together a package that suits your group.
