FAQs

Can I book just one room?

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking on site for up to 4 cars.

What is the road like?

Roads leading to the property are good, but the last 400 metres are bumpy. Please check road and weather conditions before you leave, especially in the monsoon.

How do I get there?

A private car or taxi is best. The nearest hubs are Lonavala railway station and bus depot (about 25 km) and Pune International Airport (about 90 km). Toll charges apply on the way.

Are meals available?

Yes. A chef prepares home-cooked vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, charged separately. Share your preferences after booking and our team will help plan the menu. The kitchen is staff-only and outside food is not allowed.

Is alcohol or smoking allowed?

Alcohol is allowed in moderation, with no corkage. Smoking is allowed only outdoors, in the garden or lawn.

Tell me about the pool.

The infinity pool is about 4 feet deep, with a smaller children’s pool beside it, and is open from 9 AM to 7 PM. It is shared within the estate. There is no lifeguard, so please supervise children closely.

Pets are welcome on request. Please tell us when you book, bring your pet’s food and bedding, and expect an extra daily charge for each pet.

Is it suitable for children and older guests?

It is child-friendly, with lawns, games and swings. Because of the stairs and uneven terrain it is not suitable for senior citizens or wheelchair users.
