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: Navratri begins on Sunday 11 October, Navratri ends on Monday 19 October, Dussehra on Tuesday 20 October. 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.
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.
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 |
| Dayma Bros | Gurugram | 12 / 12 | ₹13,200 | Private + kids |
| Lotus | Noida | 20 / 20 | ₹14,080 | Private |
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.
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 Delhi.
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.

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.
What you can check before you pay
The thing that removes most of the anxiety from a booking like this is being able to see the detail up front. Every listing carries the slot rates split by weekday and weekend, the per-person charge above the included headcount, the security deposit, the platform fee, the day-time and night-time guest limits, the room-by-room amenity list and the owner's own house rules. None of it is behind an enquiry form.
That matters because the questions that actually decide a booking — can we bring food, can we cook, is alcohol allowed, are pets permitted, what time does the music have to stop — are answered on the page rather than after a phone call.
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.
