Nature first
Built with local stone, timber and minimal disruption.
The Banyan Stay
A family home that became a retreat.
The Banyan Stay began as our family's weekend farm. Friends kept asking to visit, so we built a few cottages, then a few more, always around the tree that started it all.
Our story
Built around the tree.

We keep it small on purpose. Eighteen cottages means our team knows every guest by name.
