Simli Dam Road, out past Anchorage Farms in Maira Begwal, is a world away from the capital's traffic — and that's precisely the appeal of THE FARMS CLUB. This is a nightly retreat for guests who want open surroundings rather than a downtown room. The comforts are all here: air conditioning, geysers for hot water, attached bathrooms, filtered drinking water, an iron and board for keeping things tidy, and Wi-Fi throughout, with beds and mattresses provided. Rates sit between PKR 18,500 and PKR 27,500 per day. Don't expect the city on your doorstep — the Grand Mosque at Bahria Hills is a few kilometres off, and the universities are well over eight kilometres away, so this isn't a base for daily campus runs. What it offers instead is space, quiet and a proper sense of getting away, which is exactly what visitors booking a farm-belt stay tend to be after. For a restful few nights removed from the noise, with the creature comforts still intact, it fits the bill.
