Hi everyone, coming to Goa on holiday in Jan 08, but hopefully will not go back for a few months when holiday is over. I really would like to do South Goa, and find somewhere ,where i can chill out, relax and just have a breather from life in blighty. Is it easy enough to find somewhere to rent for a month then move further on down the coast. ? Could anyone give me a idea how much you would need to stay for 3-4 months, im not a big drinker or a clubber, (too old), just a nice place with good food, not top range , but ok. P.S. I will be on my own, will that affect the price?. Many thanks for reading this, im sure you have heard it all before

All the best Jonny.

If you get down as far as Palolem..if you don't want to rough it in the huts right on the beach you might be interested in this place. It's just at the back of Cuba Bar...but you can get to it on the small road leading into Palolem beach itself. There are a couple of bungalows JUST behind the shacks on the beach...more secure with own shower/loo etc..no cooking facilities...basic but clean. Quite comfie for a longer stay- cheap n cheerful. I'd maybe give him a ring before you leave..or a quick ring when you're thinking of travelling South.

I think you will be surpized at how much accommodation you will find available, I would recommend you find the cheapest room on arrival for your first night so you get your bearings and to leave your belongings. Walk or perhaps rent a moped and go around all the private owned guest houses as these are your cheapest rooms around. You can pay as little as 200rps a night within walking distance to the beach for very safe but basic rooms. Beach huts are about 600rps a night but not very safe. Expect to pay no more then 200rps a day for a moped. You can live happly on 1000rps a day once you find the right place including moped and food. You only pay for the room so no single supplement.

small guest houses are your best bet we usually stay in the south in the cavelosim area , joes holiday homes are basic clean and cheap 300 r , hippo cool 600 r , then gaffinos , sao domingos and palmgrove which are a bit nicer and will cost between £10 £20 a night

Two ideas for Benaulim,

On the beach-- http://www.blue-corner-goa.com --- Huts with own shower room & wc.

In the village ---- tansytouristcottages@yahoo.co.in --- Rooms with bathroom and small kitchen with large fridge and two gas rings, good for a longer stay, they also have a bar and restaurant.

Good luck lassi
