What Our Guests Are Saying
Hear from our families who took part in the magic of Vaksana Farms. People love the spacious accommodations, warmth in hospitality, and the moments they have together. Read their stories and see why Vaksana Farms is perfect for large family gatherings.
Located far away from the hustle bustle of city life, in a serene countryside near Rettanai village in Tindivanam Tamil Nadu, Vaksana Farms is a place I’d gladly call my home away from home. For a person like me who craves for a glimpse of rural Bengal throughout the year, I found Vaksana almost like an unforeseen treasure. The home cooked food by Kasthuri Amma was truly delicious and the hospitality was heart warming from Mr. Kiruba Shankar and everyone in his family. It made us feel like we know them from decades. We are taking back countless memories with us, with a promise to return again and again and again!!!!❤️

Back from a lovely 2 nights at Vaksana farms, about 130 km from Chennai and a great change from the city life, back to nature. Lots of trees, plants, birds n animals within and outside the farm. And great hospitality and care by Kiruba and his family – a must have experience.
