Pet Charges
Tucked into the forested edge of Basavana Betta Forest near Solaba, Bengaluru, Hobbit Woods is a 4-acre mudhouse-style farm villa that takes the idea of a forest retreat seriously. The property — listed and managed by ELIVAAS — is explicitly pet-friendly, with a published pet policy that covers security deposits, sanitation fees, and pool rules for dogs. For families travelling with pets out of Bengaluru, Karnataka, this is one of the few dog-friendly villa stays in the region that actually documents its pet terms in writing rather than leaving things to chance at check-in.
✓ Confirmed by the property
Hobbit Woods is confirmed pet-friendly by ELIVAAS, the property management platform. Pets are explicitly allowed on the property. A refundable pet security deposit applies — ₹10,000 for one pet, ₹15,000 for two pets — collected in addition to the standard villa security deposit of ₹15,000. A one-time pet sanitation fee is charged at check-in; the exact amount for a 4-BHK property falls in the ₹3,000 bracket per ELIVAAS's published fee schedule. Pets are not permitted in the swimming pool — a ₹10,000 care charge applies if this rule is violated. Clean-up is the guest's responsibility.
The Setting
The property sits within a 4-acre farm area in Basavana Betta Forest, a forested zone on the outskirts of Bengaluru in Karnataka. The landscape is defined by tall trees, open greenery, and hill views — which means your dog is going to be stimulated from the moment you arrive. The villa is designed in a mudhouse farmhouse aesthetic: wooden elements, neutral tones, large windows that frame the farm and forest, and a warm ambient interior that feels genuinely rustic rather than resort-polished. Four well-designed bedrooms with queen-sized beds, air conditioning, TVs, and wardrobes sleep up to 8 guests — making this practical for a group trip where everyone brings their dog along.
Outdoor spaces are the real draw for pet parents. The property has expansive open lawns with forest surroundings, two gazebo seating areas overlooking the farm, a terrace with hill and greenery views, an outdoor fire pit with circular stone seating, and a badminton court set within a natural landscape. For a dog — especially a larger breed — this is the kind of space that makes a weekend escape genuinely worthwhile. The 4-acre grounds give dogs room to roam, sniff, and decompress without the constraints of a hotel corridor or a cramped apartment balcony.
Pet Policy — What You Need to Know Before Booking
ELIVAAS has published one of the more detailed pet policies we've seen on an Indian villa platform, and it's worth reading carefully before you book. The refundable pet security deposit is ₹10,000 for one pet and ₹15,000 for two pets, collected in addition to the standard ₹15,000 villa security deposit. All security deposits are collected 48 hours prior to check-in via UPI, credit/debit card, or bank transfer, and returned within 5–7 working days post check-out provided no damages or rule violations have occurred.
A one-time pet sanitation fee is collected at check-in. Based on ELIVAAS's published schedule, the sanitation fee for a 4/5 BHK property is ₹3,000. This is a non-refundable cleaning charge, separate from the security deposit. Guests are responsible for picking up after their pets throughout the stay — the property makes this an explicit condition. Any pet-related damages are charged at actuals. The swimming pool is off-limits for pets; ELIVAAS has set a ₹10,000 care charge for violations of this rule, so keep this in mind if you have a dog who likes to bolt toward water.
ℹ️ Costs to factor in before you book
Beyond the base villa rate, pet parents should budget for: a refundable pet deposit of ₹10,000 (1 pet) or ₹15,000 (2 pets), plus the standard villa security deposit of ₹15,000, plus a one-time non-refundable pet sanitation fee of ₹3,000 (4 BHK rate). All deposits are collected 48 hours before check-in. Cancellations within 15 days of check-in are non-refundable; blackout dates like Christmas and New Year are also non-refundable regardless of timing.
The Villa Itself — Rooms, Spaces, and Amenities
Inside, the villa's four bedrooms are laid out in a cosy farmhouse style with warm ambient lighting and calming farm views from large windows. The living room is designed for relaxed group gatherings, and a fully equipped open kitchen connects to the dining area — practical for longer stays where you want to cook rather than order in. Bathrooms have essential fittings for a comfortable stay. Daily housekeeping is compulsory, with the team visiting each day — worth keeping in mind if your dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar people entering the space.
The outdoor fire pit and gazebo areas make evenings genuinely pleasant. Sitting around a stone fire pit under forest skies with your dog at your feet is exactly the kind of moment this property is set up for. The terrace offers hill views ideal for morning coffee. The badminton court is a bonus for human guests. Check-in is from 2 PM; check-out by 11 AM. Noise must be kept reasonable between 10 PM and 7 AM. Smoking is prohibited inside; designated outdoor smoking areas are available.
What We Haven't Confirmed Yet
The listing does not specify whether dogs are permitted inside the guest bedrooms or restricted to outdoor and common areas — this is worth clarifying with ELIVAAS before arrival, particularly if you have a dog who sleeps in your room. The number of dogs permitted per booking is not stated beyond the two-pet deposit tier. Breed restrictions are not mentioned in the published policy, but it is worth confirming for large or bully breeds. Nearby veterinary access has not been confirmed; given the forest location, it is sensible to know the nearest clinic before heading out. The property has a pool, but pets are explicitly prohibited from using it.
