Blue Star, Kadaiya: Farmhouse in Daman With a Private Pool
Blue Star is a 2BHK farmhouse in Kadaiya, Daman. Rates, capacity, amenities and the house rules worth reading before you book.
Blue Star sits in Kadaiya, on the Daman side. It is a 2BHK farmhouse built much more for daytime functions than for overnight stays, and the numbers below are the ones worth knowing before you book.
Who it suits
A daytime function — a birthday, an engagement lunch, a family gathering, a company day out — for anything up to 20 people. That is what the property is shaped for and where the money makes sense. Where it is the wrong booking: a group of eight wanting a quiet weekend. You would be paying for a function property and using a corner of it, and there are better-matched options nearby.

What you actually get
The listing itemises it, which is a good sign in itself — owners write this out when guests actually ask. BHK bungalow with air-conditioned bedrooms. Private swimming pool. Active kitchen with basic cooking facilities. Garden area. Outdoor seating area. Parking facility available. Room by room, the detail goes further than most listings: General lists Garden, Parking, Private Swimming Pool. The pool measures 30x15, with a separate section for children. Where a listing gives the depth as well, that third figure is the one worth reading — a pool at a uniform depth has no shallow end at all, whatever its length. Everything above is on the page before you pay, which is the part that makes a property like this decidable rather than a gamble.
The rules worth reading
This listing does not spell out its food and drink rules in the summary, which means they are worth asking about directly before booking — particularly outside food, kitchen access and alcohol.
From the owner's own house rules: Valid government ID proof is mandatory for all guests at the time of check-in. Guests are requested to maintain cleanliness and avoid any damage to the property or amenities. Any damage or loss to property items will be chargeable.
What it costs
- Weekday: ₹15,810
- Weekend: ₹23,250
- Per additional person: ₹1,200
The weekend uplift is around 47%, which is steep even for this category. If your dates can move at all, a weekday booking here saves more than switching to a cheaper property would.
The per-person charge is the line most people miss. At a group of twenty-five it frequently exceeds the slot rate itself, so work out your total for your actual headcount before comparing this against anything else.
Reading the capacity
Blue Star is listed for 20 guests by day against 12 overnight, and that gap is the most important thing on the page. A day booking is limited by garden, parking and washrooms. An overnight is limited by beds. With 2 bedrooms, the 12 figure means a good share of an overnight group is on extra bedding rather than in a room. What it means practically: if nobody is staying the night, search on the day-time number and ignore bedroom count entirely. A family filtering for somewhere that sleeps thirty would never see this property, and for a lunch or a function it is one of the better options in the area. If people are staying over, size to the night figure and say out loud who is on a mattress. That single conversation prevents most of the disappointment in this category.
Two capacity numbers, not one
Every listing carries a day-time limit and a night-time limit. The day figure is frequently two to five times the night figure, because space rather than beds is the constraint.
If nobody is sleeping over, search on the day-time number and ignore bedroom count entirely — filtering on bedrooms hides most of the properties that would suit a large daytime gathering.
The area
Where South Gujarat goes when it wants a short beach weekend — villas near Devka, and the only place around with its own rules on alcohol. Kadaiya is reached via the Devka seafront road, and the last stretch is worth checking with the property directly if you are driving something low or arriving after dark. That is a question owners answer honestly, because a guest stuck on a bad road is their problem too. If the group wants something beyond the property, the usual additions from here are Jampore beach, Devka beach, the Moti Daman fort. On timing: best November to February; Diwali and New Year are the two hardest dates to book.
How it compares nearby
- Little Paradise in Devka — 2BHK for 10 by day, from ₹13,950 on a weekday.
- Wooden Retreat in Dalwada — 4BHK for 50 by day, from ₹17,640 on a weekday.
- TriLeaf Retreat in Dunetha — 3BHK for 20 by day, from ₹13,475 on a weekday.
Compare the totals for your actual headcount rather than the headline rates. At group sizes above twenty the per-person charge routinely reorders the ranking.

Work the total out for your actual headcount before comparing these. Above roughly twenty guests the per-person charge reorders the list more often than not.
Before you book
Whatever the listing says, five questions in one message will settle the rest. Owners field these constantly and reply quickly. — What is the per-person charge, and how many guests are included in the base rate? At any group size above twenty this is the line that moves the total most. — What is chargeable on top of the slot rate — the sound system, extra cleaning, utensils, a caretaker's time? Each property answers this differently. — What time does music have to stop? Most properties in residential pockets enforce a 10:00 PM cut-off and they mean it. — Is outside food allowed, and separately, can we use the kitchen? Two different permissions, and plenty of properties grant one and not the other. — Can we get in early to set up? This runs into the preparation time between bookings, which on many properties is around two hours. Get the answers in the booking thread rather than on a call. The person who replies in September may not be the person handing you the keys in November.
The day-picnic problem
The single most common booking in this category is a group of thirty arriving at eleven and leaving at six. No nightly-rate platform sells that. On Airbnb you would be booking a night you do not want, for a guest count that does not fit, at a property whose lawn capacity is invisible.
Being able to search on the day-time limit, pick a half or full day, and see the extra-person charge before paying is the difference between finding the right property and scrolling past it.
Timing a function here
For this market the season runs as follows: best November to February; Diwali and New Year are the two hardest dates to book. For a function, treat the booking window as six to eight weeks rather than two. Properties that take a large daytime crowd are a small share of the inventory in any city, and they are competing for every birthday, engagement and family gathering on that date. The next date likely to affect availability here is Dhanteras on Friday 6 November 2026, so if your plans fall near it, book ahead of the rush rather than into it. And if the dates can move at all, take a weekday. In this category that is worth between a quarter and half the rate, which is more than switching to a cheaper property usually achieves.
Where to book it
Everything described here is on the BookMyFarm app and the website — farmhouses, private villas, resorts and weekend homes across the country, searchable by city and by area in Daman.
It is worth saying why people end up using it as an Airbnb alternative rather than as a supplement. Nightly-rate platforms cannot sell you a half day or a full day, cannot show a day-time guest limit that differs from the sleeping capacity, and cannot put you in a chat with the owner before you pay. All three of those are the normal way this category works.

Frequently asked questions
Kids swimming pool available?+
Yes
Swimming pool size?+
30x15
Is this farmhouse or villa fully private or will it be shared with other guests?+
When you book Blue Star in Kadaiya, the entire property is reserved exclusively for your group. You will not have to share the space with other guests.
How many people can stay at this property?+
Blue Star is suitable for group stays. The exact capacity depends on layout, so it's best to confirm guest limits before booking.
How many people can Blue Star take?+
It is listed for 20 guests on a day booking and 12 overnight. A day booking is limited by garden, parking and washrooms; an overnight is limited by beds. If nobody is staying the night, the day figure is the one to search on.
What does Blue Star cost?+
The slot rate is ₹15,810 on a weekday and ₹23,250 at the weekend. Above the included headcount there is a per-person charge of ₹1,200 a head, which at a large group moves the total more than the base rate does.
Can I book for the day without staying the night?+
Yes. Most properties sell a half day and a full day as well as an overnight, and the day slot is what a birthday or a family lunch usually needs. It is also why the day-time guest limit is often several times the sleeping capacity.
Is the whole property mine, or is it shared?+
The whole property is reserved for your group. The listings state this explicitly and the property FAQs repeat it — you are not sharing a pool or a lawn with another booking.
