Kingdom Heartz | Elegant Pet-friendly 2-BHK Apartment With Balcony, Common Pool, Common Garden & Restaurant (South Gola Range)

Tucked into the South Gola Range near Bhimtal in Uttarakhand, Kingdom Heartz is a pet-friendly 2-BHK apartment that sits within a larger property featuring a common pool, a lush garden with a cabana, and an on-site restaurant. The apartment is explicitly listed as a pet-friendly property by the management, making it one of the few verified pet-welcoming stays in the Bhimtal area - just 45 minutes from Kainchi Dham. For small groups travelling with dogs, the combination of hill views, open garden space, and in-unit kitchen gives you the practical infrastructure that actually matters on a pet trip.

The Apartment & Setting

The 2-BHK configuration gives you real room to spread out with a dog - something that compact hill homestays rarely offer. The bedroom comes with a king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, heater, wardrobe, and an attached balcony with seating and hill views. The living room is a generous 340 sq.ft. with a 40-inch TV, bar trolley, and its own access to a shared balcony overlooking the hills - a useful detail if your dog needs to be separated from outdoor stimuli during rest time. The functional kitchen means you can prepare meals for your pet without relying entirely on the restaurant, which is a genuine advantage for dogs on specific diets.

The property's common spaces are what set it apart from a basic apartment stay. There's a terrace sit-out, a garden with a cabana, and a mini bar counter - the kind of outdoor spread where evenings with your dog in the hills actually feel unhurried. The on-site restaurant handles food for guests, and reviews consistently praise the food quality and the management team (Manoj Kumar and Sonal are named specifically across multiple reviews) for being cooperative and responsive.

Pet Policy - What You Need to Know Before Booking

The pet policy here is structured and transparent, which is useful for planning. The refundable pet security deposit is ₹10,000 for one pet and ₹15,000 for two pets, collected on top of the standard property deposit. There is also a one-time pet sanitation fee collected at check-in - the exact amount for a 2-BHK unit was listed as ₹2,000 in the property's policy documentation for 2/3BHK units. Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets, and damage caused by pets is billed at actuals. One firm rule: pets are not allowed in the pool, with a ₹10,000 care charge applied if this is overlooked. The garden and common outdoor spaces are available for your pet, but keep the pool boundary in mind. No breed restrictions or weight limits are mentioned in the available policy documentation.

Location & Practical Details

South Gola Range, Bhimtal, Uttarakhand sits in the Kumaon foothills - a quieter and less crowded alternative to Nainital, which is roughly 20–25 km away. The area has good road connectivity from Delhi (approximately 7–8 hours by road) and is a realistic weekend getaway with dogs from the NCR region. The proximity to Kainchi Dham (45 minutes as stated by the property) also makes it a useful base if you're combining a road trip with a spiritual stop - though confirm pet access at the ashram independently before planning around it. Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM, with late check-out subject to availability. The property runs a strict non-refundable cancellation policy (non-refundable within 15 days of check-in), so factor that into your planning, especially for holiday dates. Daily housekeeping is compulsory - guests are expected to cooperate with the housekeeping team, which is worth noting if your dog is reactive to strangers entering the room.
