Introduction: In 1935, Raibahadur Kanaklal Barua, a prominent citizen of Assam who served as a member of the Viceroy's executive council, built a lodge in the popular neo-colonial style of the times. The architect was his son, Tapan Lal Barua, but it was after his daughter - Rosa - that the Rosaville lodge was named.The lodge remains within the family and retains all the flavour of a family home but Rosa now lives in Mumbai and the doors of the lodge were opened to visitors.

Description: Rosaville Lodge was a home, but a prestigious home of an illustrious man. The nostalgia of a grander past, when a cup of evening tea retained all the flavour of a ceremony rather than an ordinary ritual lingers still in the decor, be it the furniture from the colonial times or the family memorabilia in the hallways.

Facilities: The charming little town of Shillong, still dotted with old eglish cottages and colonial buildings from another era, has a number of beautiful waterfalls like Sweet Falls, Beadon and bishop falls, Crinoline falls and Elephant falls amongst its undulating hills. You can take a boat ride on the flower bedecked Wards Lake surrounded by whispering pine groves. The lady hydari Park, a short distance away, also has a miniature zoo. The St. Mary's Christian Cathedral at Dhankheti is well worth a visit for its beautiful stained glass windows  the grotto is carved out of a single rock. Shillong Peak, the highest point in the city, affords a spectacular view of cloud-shrouded Shillong.hillong.
