2 Bedroom Apartment in Benaulim

LATEST NEWS - UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO AN ILLNESS, A COUPLE WHO HAD BOOKED THE APARTMENT FOR SEVEN WEEKS THIS COMING SEASON HAVE HAD TO CANCEL. THIS MEANS THAT FROM 26TH NOVEMBER '25 TO 14TH JANUARY '26 (RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEST PART OF THE SEASON) IT IS NOW AVAILABLE AGAIN. TO TRY AND REFILL THIS PERIOD, WE ARE THEREFORE OFFERING A 10% DISCOUNT FOR A BOOKING OF 30 DAYS OR MORE.
Description: Here is something a bit different in South Goa. Our first floor apartment is in a private house in a quiet residential area of Benaulim overlooking a superb view of paddy fields and palm plantations. It is ideal for those who do not want the usual busy holiday complex. It is 5 minutes by tuk-tuk (10 minutes by bicycle) from the fabulous Benaulim beach which is itself in the centre of the 13 mile long 'Queen of Beaches'.
There are many excellent beach restaurants at Benaulim beach with every kind of food available at extremely good prices. In Benaulim itself there are also a number of excellent well-priced restaurants.
The apartment is beautifully furnished with fans in every room and A/C and European style sprung mattresses in both bedrooms. The main bedroom has a King size double bed and the second bedroom has two single beds. There is also a camp bed available with bedding for a possible fifth visitor. We use this spacious apartment ourselves as a home from home for 2 months of the year and so all mod cons are there. Included in these are access to good Wifi, a washing machine, drying rack, all towels and linen, hob, microwave, large fridge/freezer, Sky TV, DVD player, large free-standing fan, iron and ironing board etc.
One of the most attractive features of the property is the full property length balcony accessed either from the main bedroom, the kitchen and the living room via big French windows. From this balcony there is a superb peaceful 180 degree view from which one can watch the amazing birdlife, water buffalo etc. The second bedroom has its own private balcony and there is also a front terrace. On the very sunny roof terrace we have two quality cushioned sunbeds.
Also included is the use of an Indian pay-as-you-go mobile phone (useful for cheap calls to arrange a Tuk-Tuk) and a welcome pack of basic food, water and beer in the fridge to get you started.
The property's owner, Sandra, is a lovely lady who lives on the ground floor. She, and also often her brother Ivan, are available to assist and give advice at any time if necessary. For a two week stay or more, cleaning and mopping through is available at a nominal extra cost by arrangement through Sandra downstairs.
If you are not familiar with Goa, Benaulim is situated centrally in what we feel is the best (for many reasons) part of South Goa which is itself far nicer than the North which is very much more commercialised and more expensive for everything... so if you do fancy Goa then you genuinely could not do much better. It is about 30 minutes from the airport.
Margao, the main city of South Goa, is 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk if you need something that is not available locally and/or want to experience the delightful chaos of an Indian city! It is well worth a visit.
From the UK, Goa itself can be accessed by daily scheduled flights from Heathrow via Mumbai. Also Air India direct flights from Gatwick to Mopa are available. Direct charter flights into Goa are also possible between the beginning of November to mid April from Manchester and Gatwick. Please note that for charter flights you had best get seats booked early as there are only a limited number of flights per week and they tend to get booked up fairly quickly with regular ‘Goa Goers’.
So if you fancy an apartment in South Goa different from those usually being offered you will not go wrong with ours.
PLEASE NOTE: COLLECTION FROM DABOLIM AIRPORT IS AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE TO THE APARTMENT IF WANTED (OR A Rs 1500 CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS YOUR COLLECTION FROM MOPA AIRPORT IN THE NORTH OF GOA).

Summary: We had a wonderful holiday and really enjoyed our stay at your apartment. A wonderful home from home in a lovely quiet area of Benaulim. The apartment was exactly as described. You provided so much invaluable information prior to our arrival which made our stay so enjoyable. Franco was always on hand to provide our transport whenever we needed him. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

Summary: From the moment we met Sandra and her brother Ivan we were made to feel so welcome. They showed us round the place and explained everything to us. The highlight for us was the view from the balcony and looking out over the water meadows. We viewed many kingfishers and numerous other birds, also the water buffalo. Spent many a morning watching the sunrise aswell. We loved being in the residential area and saying hello to our neighbours as we walked out each day. 15 minutes walk to the town or 25 minutes to the beach and many tuk tuks available if we needed. The beach was beautiful and clean with fine golden sand, our favourite beach was Sernabatim with the lovely beach taverna White Crab. Evenings were fun, either spent in the town or on the beaches. We had the most wonderful stay and it was lovely getting to know Sandra and her son, certainly made the perfect holiday for us. A big thankyou!

Summary: one of the best properties I’ve stayed in. It was peaceful and exactly as described in the listing. Nigel, Sandra and her son have done everything possible to make the home comfortable and well equipped. Thank you!

Summary: From the ease of booking (prompt communications from Nigel & Teresa), organised collection from Goa airport (included in price) and being met by Sandra and William, who both ensured our stay at the apartment was enjoyable and hassle free, we had such a fantastic time. The apartment is roomy with various verandas for sitting in or out of the sun as your mood takes you, plus the roof terrace for when you want to have a quiet day away from the beach. We found everything we needed was in the apartment and just a short walk to fruit/vegetable/fish vendors and local supermarkets. Being in a residential area, you can appreciate the Portuguese architectural influence and its great to say hello/good morning, etc to the locals. It took about 20 minutes to walk to the beach, which we enjoyed doing as compensation to all the lovely food we were consuming!! Lots and lots of places to eat and drink, covering numerous cuisines, what’s not to like.... and if your feeling lazy, a tuk tuk was only a phone call away. Having stayed at this apartment before, we quickly re-established our morning routine of getting fresh bread rolls from the bicycling baker delivery boy and having breakfast on the rear veranda watching the sun rise in the sky, looking over the wet land complete with bird life and cows & water buffalo. Just Bliss.

Summary: We were picked up by Franco at the airport as arranged by Nigel & Teresa. On arrival at the property we were met by Sandra who showed us around the apartment. Being tired from a very long journey we went straight to bed. I woke just before dawn & went to the rear balcony. The view there is stunning & we never tired of watching the wildlife from there. The apartment is very spacious with 2 bedrooms, 1 ensuite, a large living room with t.v. & dvd player with plenty of choice of movies. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could want, The bedrooms have air con but we rarely used it, maybe 10-15 minutes before bed. There is another balcony at the front of the building with table and chairs but we only used the rear one due to aforementioned views. There is also a rooftop balcony with sunbeds & umbrellas which we rarely used as it was very hot. Sandra is a lovely lady who was there for all our needs without being intrusive as was William her son. Nigel & Teresa were in contact during our stay to make sure things were all good. The apartment is in a quiet residential area about 15 mins walk to the centre of Benaulim and a couple of supermarkets just across the football field. Colva is a little further away, walkable or just a short tuk-tuk/bus ride away. Due to my wife waiting for a knee replacement we were using Franco each day, he too was great for suggesting restaurants/days out. All in all a very enjoyable stay which was a last minute booking & we were very lucky it was available and would not hesitate to book again if going to Benaulim

Summary: If you like peace and quiet, great views, spacious well kept interior and exterior, choice of sun or shade and you don't mind a walk to the beach, restaurants and shops this place is for you. Nigel arranged for us to be met at the airport by Franco, who we then used for all our running around. Sandra was waiting for us on arrival, even though it was the early hours of the morning with a lovely smile and that set the scene. Nothing was too much trouble and when we had any questions either William or Sandra were there to help us, they were outstanding. You can take a short cut across the football ground to a supermarket for your basic needs and lovely samosas, a good take away nearby and a 30 minute walk to Sernabatim beach. This was our favourite beach and Anthy's beach shack provided splendid food and a peaceful atmosphere plus clean toilets, which was important to us. Nigel and Teresa have thought of everything to give you a wonderful holiday, including an Indian phone for using to ring Franco or for a take away and then plenty of plug adaptors for UK plugs..that's what I call service. There is also a Supermarket along past the tuktuk stand in centre of Benaulim which sells booze and Steven there will deliver, great if you like to sit on a balcony sipping cold beer or your favourite tipple. A big plus was to have Sandra and William on hand. Sandra even made us a splendid Indian meal on Boxing Day, what more can I say except thank you. Probably the highest accolade I can give is that we have booked again for next year and we can't wait to go back.

Excellent for bird watching . In a typically Goan enclave of well maintained local houses . Approximately equidiance between Benaulim and Colva . Very relaxing .

Summary: What a lovely apartment with lots of space to feel at home. The outlook and view from the back were so peaceful and truly wonderful. This is as described, a quiet location and even the view at the front was good even though it was another house but the abundance of trees made it very picturesque. The hosts in Benaulim, who live on the ground floor, could not have been more helpful and friendly. Sandra and William are just lovely people and were always available and helped us out on several occasions, ordering takeout being one such occasion! Everything worked well except of course when there were power cuts and as we were there at the very end of the rainy season, there were some spectacular storms! Wifi is available and by arrangement with the hosts plus it's inexpensive. This was a first visit and we were very happy with the apartment, having seen some with not so much space or amenities, however it was not that close to the beach. This is not a problem as it is a short rickshaw drive of a few minutes or quite a long walk (we found it too hot to walk). We found all the information provided by Nigel and Teresa absolutely fantastic and they have spent a long time putting all this together. The helpful hints and advice were invaluable as was the recommended driver, Franco, who was a mine of information and local knowledge. We used him all the time and he was always available and very punctual. This apartment is very peaceful and if you want somewhere with space and great views especially out of season then you should try this. You will have the beaches to yourself and unlike the North of Goa, it is still very unspoilt and natural, so going slightly off season is really worth trying.

Summary: The apartment is nicely and quietly situated about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Benaulim, with all its noise, colour and crazy drivers. From the amount of information provided by Nigel and Teresa following our booking, and their obvious concern for us to have a great experience, our expectations were high. We were not disappointed. The apartment is charming, well maintained and thoroughly kitted out. There are three verandas and we tended to use the one at the back - misty sunrises and balmy evenings, lovely. We took full advantage of the recommendations of trips to markets, spice plantations, boat trips etc . The boat trip up the Sal river, organised by Franco, was particularly good and great value. Although usually, very active when on holiday, by the end of this one we were totally seduced by Benaulim and its beaches and beach huts. Soft sand, a warm sea, friendly service of good food and drink whilst watching the sun go down. What's not to like. Many thanks to Sandra, William, Franco, and Nigel and Teresa.
