Safe open space
A level, enclosed lawn set back from the road, so children can run without anyone watching the gate.
Families with children
Kids friendly homestay near Kaas Plateau, Satara
Level lawn, simple food children actually eat, no traffic outside the gate and a host family used to little guests.
Kids friendly stay at Shalgar Villa
Travelling with small children is mostly about logistics: where they can run, what they will eat, and how far the nearest doctor is. Shalgar Villa answers all three, which is why the same families come back every monsoon.
Food kids eat
Plain dal-rice, chapati, khichdi, milk, eggs and fruit, always available alongside the regular thali.
Things to do all day
Board games, carrom, lawn cricket, cows and birds to spot, and a waterfall drive that never gets old.
Family rooms and bedding
Rooms take extra mattresses for children at a small charge, and the three-bedroom villa keeps a large family together under one roof. Tell us ages while booking and the bedding is ready before you arrive.
Safety around the property
Please keep children away from the valley edge, the bonfire and the barbecue, and supervise them on the ghat road. Hot water, a first aid box and a torch are kept in the house; Satara hospitals are about 20 km down.
Outings that work with kids
Kaas Lake for an easy picnic, Ekiv waterfall for a short walk, Kaas Plateau in flower season for an hour before the sun gets high, and Thoseghar for the older ones who can handle steps.
