The Bundelkhand Riverside is built on 50 Acres of land on the banks of the River Betwa in Orchha and the Old House, which still exists, was used as a Hunting Lodge cum Guest House. The present retreat is an addition to the old construction that dates back to 1895.

The Bundelkhand Riverside consists of 26 Bedrooms, 17 of which are river facing.
The Guest Rooms are large (22 Ft by 20 Ft) with attached bathrooms and fireplaces.
All Bathrooms (8 Ft by 10 Ft) have a Bidet in them. The Fire Places can be lit in the winter months between November and February. All rooms have an air conditioner and phone facility.


The furniture has been hand crafted on the site where carpenters worked for 7 years and the style is Indian and British Colonial.
The Hotel has extensive wooden and stone crafts of India, which are now no longer used in the building industry. It also has extensive use of Ceramic Tiles as they were used in the Medieval Period. (Only 2 Rajput Forts in India have used tiles in Medieval Times and these are the Forts of Gwalior and Orchha - Datia.) The Retreat has a Four Terrace Mughal Garden that can be used for private functions, weddings, conferences and camps.


Swimming Pool at The Retreat


View of the River from the Terrace

Full Moon nights at the Riverside are divine as a guest can sit out in the Verandahs and hear and see the River flowing past.

The retreat site is abundant with monuments that are 400 years old in various states of ruins.
