Looking for a Farmhouse in Delhi? Start Here
A guide to booking a farmhouse in Delhi — the areas, what they cost, which have pools and kids' pools, and how to pick the right one.
If you are searching for somewhere near Delhi for a weekend or a day out, the useful starting point is knowing what actually exists. 6 properties — 6 farmhouses — spread across the belts around the city.
The biggest farmhouse market in the country, built for parties and functions — huge lawns, private pools, and rates to match.
Choosing between them
The fastest way to cut a long list is to answer three questions in order. First, is anybody sleeping over? If not, search on the day-time guest limit and ignore bedroom count completely. On a lot of properties the day figure is several times the night one, and a bedroom filter hides exactly the places that would suit a large gathering. Second, what is the food arrangement? Whether outside food is allowed and whether you may use the kitchen are two separate permissions, and they eliminate faster than anything else on the page. Third, where does everyone go if the weather turns? Covered seating — a gazebo, a shamiana, a deep verandah — is the most useful thing on a listing and the one nobody filters for. After that it is geography. Gurugram tends to be the first choice here, Noida the fallback, and Noida the one worth checking when the first two are full.

Where the properties actually are
<a href="https://bookmyfarm.net/delhi/gurugram">Gurugram</a> has 3 properties, all with a private pool and 2 with a separate children's pool, from about ₹7,999 to ₹13,200 on a weekday. <a href="https://bookmyfarm.net/delhi/noida">Noida</a> has 3 properties, all with a private pool and 1 with a separate children's pool, from about ₹14,080 to ₹19,360 on a weekday.
Three that show the range
- Green Stay in Gurugram — 7BHK, the largest day capacity here at 30 guests.
- Rupani Dhani in Gurugram — 5BHK, the value end, from ₹7,999 on a weekday.
Work out the total for your actual headcount rather than comparing headline rates. Above twenty guests the per-person charge routinely reorders the ranking.
What the inventory actually looks like
- 6 of 6 have a private swimming pool, and 3 a separate children's pool.
- 6 list a garden.
- 3 have a home theatre — useful when the weather closes in.
- Weekday rates run from about ₹7,999 to ₹19,360, with the middle around ₹14,080.
- Day capacities run from 12 to 30.
- The mix is 6 farmhouses.
Every property here has its own pool, which means it is priced into everything and is not a differentiator. Sort on something else.
When to go
Late November to February is the real season — lawns, bonfires and outdoor dinners; summer is pool-only; Diwali is the peak. Dates worth planning around from here: Christmas on Friday 25 December, New Year's Eve on Thursday 31 December, New Year's Day on Friday 1 January. Anything attached to those needs booking six to eight weeks out rather than two, because the properties that take a large group are a small share of what is listed and they go first. The single biggest saving in this category is not the property you pick — it is moving the booking from a Saturday to a Thursday or Friday. That is worth between a quarter and half the rate in most markets.
What a nightly-rate platform cannot show you
Airbnb and the hotel aggregators are built around a room and a night. That works for a city trip and it fits this category badly.
A farmhouse has two guest limits, not one — a day-time figure and a night-time figure, often several times apart — because a day booking is limited by garden, parking and washrooms while an overnight is limited by beds. It is also commonly sold as a half day or a full day with no night attached, which is the product a birthday or a family lunch actually wants and which a nightly platform has no way to list.
Practical notes
Getting out of the city means Sohna Road or the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway, and the last stretch to any individual property is worth checking with the owner rather than the map. Owners answer that honestly, because a guest stuck on a bad road is their problem too. Carry the security deposit in cash and give one person the job of getting it back at check-out. It is commonly ₹3,000 to ₹5,000, it is refundable, and it is not part of the online payment. Get the caretaker's number as well as the owner's. On the day itself the person who can open a gate or find a switch is the one on site. If the group wants something beyond the property, the usual additions around here are the Aravalli ridge, Damdama lake, Surajkund.
Comparing what Delhi offers
| Property | Where | Sleeps / by day | From (weekday) | Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The White Lilly | Noida | 25 / 25 | ₹19,360 | Private + kids |
| Rupani Dhani | Gurugram | 18 / 18 | ₹7,999 | Private + kids |
| Blue Heaven | Noida | 12 / 12 | ₹15,840 | Private |
| Lotus | Noida | 20 / 20 | ₹14,080 | Private |
| Dayma Bros | Gurugram | 12 / 12 | ₹13,200 | Private + kids |
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.
Booking it on the app
If you are looking for short-term rental vacation homes in Delhi — farmhouses, villas, resorts or weekend homes — the BookMyFarm app and website carry the same inventory and the same detail. Search by city or by area, filter on the amenities that actually matter to you, read the owner's house rules, message the owner, and book the slot you want.
For anyone who has tried and failed to find this kind of property on a nightly-rate site, it is the closest thing to a purpose-built Airbnb alternative for the Indian farmhouse and villa market — because it is built around how these places are actually rented: by the slot, by the whole property, with two separate guest limits.

Getting there and back
Getting out of the city means Sohna Road or the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway, and the last stretch to any individual property is worth checking with the owner rather than the map. Owners answer that honestly, because a guest stuck on a bad road is their problem too. Carry the security deposit in cash and give one person the job of getting it back at check-out. It is commonly ₹3,000 to ₹5,000, it is refundable, and it is not part of the online payment. Get the caretaker's number as well as the owner's. On the day itself the person who can open a gate or find a switch is the one on site. If the group wants something beyond the property, the usual additions around here are the Aravalli ridge, Damdama lake, Surajkund.
No middleman
The chat on each listing goes to the owner or their caretaker. That removes the layer that causes most of the friction in this category — the broker who is not on site, does not know the property well and is not the person you will meet on the day.
It also means you can settle the awkward questions in writing, in the same thread as the booking, which is worth more than any verbal assurance when the person handing you the keys turns out to be someone else.
The detail that makes a booking safe
What separates a good listing from a photograph is specificity, and it is worth using. Pool dimensions including depth, whether there is a separate children's pool, how many bedrooms have attached bathrooms, whether the kitchen is active, what the caretaker does, what is chargeable on top of the slot rate.
Where an owner has filled that in — and most have — you can size a booking to your group accurately rather than hoping.
Frequently asked questions
Kids swimming pool available?+
Yes
What does The White Lilly cost?+
The slot rate is ₹19,360 on a weekday and ₹22,000 at the weekend.
Is there a security deposit?+
Yes — ₹5,000, refundable, collected in cash at check-in and returned at check-out. It is not part of the online payment, so somebody in the group needs to be carrying it.
How many properties are there in Delhi?+
We currently list 6 in and around Delhi, 3 of which have a separate children's pool.
When is the best time to book near Delhi?+
Late November to February is the real season — lawns, bonfires and outdoor dinners; summer is pool-only; Diwali is the peak. If your dates can move at all, a weekday booking saves between a quarter and half the rate, which is more than switching to a cheaper property usually achieves.
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.
Can I bring my own food, or use the kitchen?+
It depends on the property, and these are two separate permissions. Some allow outside food but not cooking; some hand you an active kitchen with utensils; a few cater in-house and do not permit outside food at all. Every listing states which applies.
