Welcome to The Bhuj House
The Bhuj House is a 19th-century courtyard house located in the erstwhile Parsi district of Bhuj.
It is the ancestral home of the Bhujwala family, who restored the house in 2015 and opened it as a heritage homestay with four guest rooms and a delightful courtyard pantry, serving traditional Parsi and local cuisine.
In 2018, The Bhuj House was awarded Gold for ‘Best Heritage Stay’ at the Outlook Responsible Travel Awards.

ROOMS
We have four individual guest rooms, all set with restored furniture and local Kutchi fabrics. All rooms open onto the inner courtyard: Rohee's - which sleeps three; Nano - a small double room; Jafri - a double room; and Agassi - a family room up on the terrace that sleeps four. Each room has an ensuite, AC and WiFi access.
EXPLORING KUTCH
Isolated from the rest of India like an island, with vast salt flats, and bird-rich mangroves that fringe the Arabian coast, Kutch is a destination with its own identity. Exquisite textiles, desert-endemic wildlife, and a citadel that pre-dates Egypt, draws designers, naturalists, historians and wanderers of all walks of life to the ancient land of Kutch.
Live like a local in an authentic Indian town
Bhuj is a small, historic, and slowly modernising town in the Kutch district of Gujarat; a flurry of activity all day and sleepy by night. The Bhuj House is located on a busy side street, with wandering cattle, food carts, beeping rickshaws, and the evocative call-to-prayer. Step away from the hustle and bustle and into another world. Lose yourself in the history of the house, sip chai in the open pantry and soak in the tranquillity of the inner, leafy courtyard. There is no other place like this in Bhuj!
