You have booked the farmhouse. The group chat is buzzing. Then someone asks the question that always comes up the evening before: “Wait, what do we actually need to bring?”
After hosting hundreds of group stays at We Woods Farm in Manesar, here is the packing list that covers everything — and a clear note on what you do not need to carry when the farmhouse already has it covered.
Clothing & Personal Essentials
- Swimwear — one for the pool, one backup (it will get worn both days)
- Change of clothes for each day — at least 2 sets for an overnight stay
- Comfortable casuals — for the farm, the lawn, and the morning
- Light jacket or shawl — farm evenings get cool even in mild weather
- Flip-flops / slippers — for moving between pool and villa
- Sports shoes — for cricket, badminton, or football
- Sunscreen — for full-day outdoor use and pool time
- Sunglasses — the farm gets bright
- Personal medicines — any prescriptions or regular medications
- Toothbrush, toothpaste, personal toiletries
Food & Drinks
Note: If your farmhouse includes meals, check what is provided before packing food. At We Woods Farm, all meals — snacks, dinner, breakfast — are prepared fresh by our kitchen team. You do not need to bring any cooked food.
- Alcohol, beer, wine, cocktail mixers — most private farmhouses permit BYOB; confirm in advance
- Non-alcoholic drinks — juices, soft drinks, mixers, tonic water
- Packaged snacks — for the car ride and late-night munchies
- Birthday cake or mithai — if it is a celebration (the farm kitchen handles meals, not cakes)
- Tea/coffee sachets — if you are particular about your morning brew
- Baby food or special dietary items — for infants or specific medical needs
Entertainment & Party Extras
- A Bluetooth speaker playlist — curate it before you arrive (most farms have a system; just connect your phone)
- Card games, board games, UNO — for the group settling-in hour before dinner
- Birthday decorations — balloons, banners, fairy lights, if it is a celebration
- Decorative items — if you want to set up a mehandi or sangeet corner
- Projector — if you want an outdoor movie night (most farms provide the screen)
- Camera or tripod — group photos at a farmhouse always turn out well
Tech & Practical Items
- Phone chargers and power banks — one for the room, one for the lawn
- Extension cord — useful in rooms with few wall sockets
- Torch or phone light — for walking around the farm at night
- Cash — for on-request add-ons (bonfire, ice packets, etc.) that some farms charge on-site
- Insect repellent — a farm at dusk has mosquitoes; bring a personal spray
- First aid basics — band-aids, antiseptic, headache tablets
- Reusable water bottles — for carrying water to the pool and farm areas
For Families with Children
- Kids’ swimwear and water toys — armbands, small floats
- Kids’ medicines and health essentials
- Extra set of clothes — children go through at least 3 sets a day near a pool and farm
- Familiar snacks or meals — fussy eaters; confirm in advance what the kitchen can prepare
- Baby monitor, nappies, or any infant-specific items
