Made for all ages
Grandparents get shade, chai and a chair with a view. Children get the lawn. Everyone in between gets a break from the kitchen.
For families
One day family outing near Kaas Plateau, Satara
Drive up in the morning, eat a hot home-cooked thali, let the children run on the lawn and be back home by night.
One day family outing at Shalgar Villa
A day out that does not need a hotel booking or a long holiday. Families from Satara, Karad, Pune and Kolhapur come up for the morning, spend the day on the lawn with the valley in front of them, eat a proper thali, and drive back the same evening.
Real Maharashtrian food
Bhakri, seasonal bhaji, varan-bhaat, koshimbir and solkadhi, cooked in the house rather than trucked in.
Everything close by
Kaas Plateau, Kaas Lake, Ekiv waterfall and Vajrai are all short drives, so a day outing can include one sight without rushing.
Best time to come
Monsoon and just after, from June to October, when the slopes are green and the plateau flowers. Winter mornings are clear and cool, ideal for older parents. Summer afternoons are best spent in the shade of the verandah.
What a day outing includes
Use of the lawn and common areas for the day, breakfast or evening snacks on order, a full thali lunch, drinking water and washrooms, and parking at the gate. Rooms can be added if anyone wants an afternoon nap.
Bring your own occasion
Birthdays, anniversaries, a family get-together after years, or a naming ceremony lunch. Tell us the reason and we will keep a cake, a table and a decorated corner ready.
