About the room:
The double rooms each have private bathrooms. We have five such rooms in the Elephant guesthouse.
In the rooms are two comfortable single beds, a small table with two chairs, and a hanging stand with shelves that ensures practical storage. A pitcher of fresh water and glasses await guests on the table to refresh them after a long day. The intimate atmosphere is enhanced by a small table lamp and a colorful, tasteful flower arrangement. A small lamp on the bedside table next to the bed helps you find your way around at night, ensuring maximum comfort.
Although there is no air conditioning in the room, a fan provides a pleasant cooling breeze in the summer heat. The windows offer a view of the garden and Krishna Valley, so guests can enjoy the beauty of the landscape from the room. A blackout curtain keeps the light out when you need to rest. The room is heated by a radiator, and the floor is covered with parquet.
Fürdőszoba:
The rooms have a private bathroom, which provides a private sphere for the guests. The bathroom has a shower cabin, a small sink with a mirror and a toilet.
About the Elephant guesthouse:
The guesthouse is a unique, irregularly shaped building with a flat roof, surrounded by lush green bushes and trees, giving off a calm, close-to-nature atmosphere.
There is a small tea kitchen in the common area of the building, where you can prepare your drink or heat up your food. The prepared delicacies can be eaten at the small table in the hallway. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, a small cupboard, a shelf with books and a wall clock. A microwave oven, kettle and cutlery are also provided for guests’ convenience. And you will even find tea bags, sugar and salt in the kitchen.
Two rooms open from the kitchen, three more from the corridor, and the last room can be accessed from outside the building. We can comfortably place our shoes on the shoe rack next to the door, as it is required to remain inside the house without wearing outdoor shoes.
Behind and in front of the house there is a cozy little garden with tables and chairs for those who want to rest or relax in the open air.
Around the guesthouse:
The guesthouse is located only 130 meters from the entrance to Krishna Valley, in a picturesque setting. The Yamuna river flows not far from the house, which emphasizes the idyllic beauty of the countryside. Srila Prabhupada’s samadhi (remembrance place) is also located nearby.
Although the property does not have an established electrical network, the guest house has a reliable power supply. Since there is no public lighting anywhere inside Krishna Valley, it is worth bringing a flashlight with you for your after dark walks.
Outside, in Somogyvámos, opposite the Kamala Bhavan guesthouse, there is a small ABC, where they offer a wide selection of groceries. Gluten-free products are also available in the shop as well as vegetarian options.
Distances from the guesthouse:
Krishna Valley’s temple is only 1,400 meters away, which is about an 18-minute walk on a cobbled road winding through the picturesque natural surroundings of Krishna Valley. Of course, for those who do not want to walk, it is also possible to drive slowly to the parking lot in front of the temple.
Dining:
You can eat your ordered meal at the Govinda restaurant located inside Krishna Valley. The restaurant is located in the temple building, if you are facing it, you will find it on the right side.
Meals usually include hot or cold dishes depending on the season. All food served is vegetarian and the milk provided is ahimsa milk (non-violent) given by the farm’s cows. The vegetables used come to the kitchen fresh, straight from the Krishna Valley gardens.
