Our stay at Aura Cottage in Shillong was a pleasant experience, though it had its challenges. The major disadvantage of this property is its location, which is quite a distance from the city center, Police Bazaar. We had difficulty finding direct transport and explaining its exact location to local taxi drivers and residents. This was quite a hassle, especially after a tiring journey. On the positive side, Aura Cottage does take online bookings. We used Goibibo for our reservation, which we recommend as a reliable booking aggregator. However, the prices for online booking seemed a bit high. It might be better to call the property directly to negotiate a better rate, as they seem open to this. Reaching the cottage required us to rely on Google Maps and walk for about a kilometer, which was not ideal. When we called for directions, the receptionist wasn't able to provide clear instructions and simply advised us to follow Google Maps. This was disappointing, especially since we later discovered there were shortcuts that could have made our walk shorter. The property is not easily accessible for disabled individuals due to the sloping lane leading to it. Once we found it, the front appeared congested, but the new cottages with four bunk beds and skylight with complete wooden finish were a visual delight and felt very cozy. We later stayed in a double bedroom in the older part of the cottage, which had a garden front, a passage, and a seating area, giving it an Airbnb vibe. The cottage had a charming old colonial appearance, adding to the nostalgic vibe. We really appreciated the aesthetic and enjoyed it immensely. The overall stay was good, and if you don't mind being away from the city center and enjoy walking, I would recommend this property. Knowing the shortcuts in advance will definitely make your stay more pleasant. Thank you, Aura Cottage, for the cozy and enjoyable experience. As a couple we liked the solitude, complete privacy, the cosy rainy fresh green vibe we received from the garden view, it was romantic.
A wonderful experience we have We fees like a home away away Everything was perfect Rooms were neet and clean , toilets were also with Geyser facilities, a kitchen was also provided to us to prepare our food with all facilities. Owner was supportive and a care taker miss. Prathak is so humble and supportive. Last but not least we enjoyed alot at aura Cottage and I highly recommend to stay here.
This is a very cute cottage located in a prime area yet away from the hustle and bustle of the police bazaar. It has an old world charm to it. The caretakers are really helpful and showed me a quick short route to police bazaar. The toilet is squeaky clean, and they have hot water as well. If you don’t like commercial hotels and want to explore a bit of the Shillong homes, this is a good bet.
It was a mix experience, public transport is very much convenient, wonderful stay. But after lockdown things yet not settled, like no kitchen facilities at this moment. All together the stay was stunning. The behaviour of the owners and care takers were very much cooperative.Peace, Relaxation
This is actually someone's home..room was neat and clean.their service was excellent..but actually its not in the police bazar..its quite away from there..but one who will prefer peaceful location must go for it.i feel price is little more..
It was amazing experience... They provide you only breakfast, lunch and dinner is available on pre order, room fully made up with wood.... most interestingly value for money for people who love adventure.
The cottage is very beautiful and situated in a very central locality and yet away from the noise of the city. The room and bathroom were very clean. Its a good place for spending a few days in Shillong.
I must say Aura cottage gave us great hospitality..the staffs over there are very helpful.. We had a great time. Looking forward to stay over there in future also..
Hotel was very good Staffs were very cooperative and hardworking Nice location near by to market and other tourist spots Food was nice ...surrounding was awesome
Lovely little cottage beside the Botanical Garden with kitchen amenities. Clean rooms and bathroom and a well maintained garden.Host was also helpful and friendly.
It was a nice and pleasent stay in Aura Cottage. You can get an experience of traditional stay in shillong. Facilities are not much of level but enough to enjoy.
Very pleasant and quiet homestay like ambience with home made food. Excellent location beside Wards lake and Shillong botanical garden. 5 km from city center.
The cottage is quite beautiful. But there are a lot of openings from where cold air was entering the room. Due to which it was difficult to stay long.
I loved it, no AC but you don't need it here as temperature here is cold already. Everything was nice and the caretaker was so sweet and helpful.
It's most certainly value for money, located in a peaceful location, away from city, still close to it, you should definitely go for it!
amazing experience... nice Vibe. big room. Enjoyed the stay very well.. recommended for all kind of travellers.
Amazing night stay Superb service Very neat and clean rooms only parking problem
