This is our second time staying at this property (you may refer to my previous review where we visited around April'23 with my family). This time, I just went with the missus to enjoy some well deserved down time near the end of the year. Room: -We booked the "tree house" this time around (we stayed in the AC tents last time), which exists at a certain elevation and gives you a clear view of the surrounding forests nearby. Witnessing sunrise from there was just beautiful! -24x7 running hot water -WiFi available -Rooms were neat and clean, and were serviced every alternate day Food: -Oh, where do we even begin ! If you're a foodie then you are in for a treat ! From having south indian/parathas and other healthy bites in the morning, various Indian dishes during lunch to a proper kathiawadi dinner every evening - we looked forward to each and every meal of ours ! And of course, how can you forget the proper kathiawadi tradition of having multiple pickles and a potful of chhas/buttermilk ! -The best part is, the food is always prepared hot/fresh and the owners ensured that you have had a proper meal : ) (yes, they are pretty hands on and take time to check in on everyone everyday) everytime ! There was always one or other thing for the kiddos (pasta, etc.) on the menu as well to keep them happy. Amenities/entertainment: -Since we were visiting during the last week of the year, there was some show or the other which was organized in the evening. Our favorite was the show done by the local "Siddis" who are native of the area. -The resort has lots of "play areas" where you/kids can spend time -Lots of selfie points and village style resting spots -Our favorite part however, was to just take a stroll around the resort and in the farms, and admire lots of animals that have been kept there in the open (rabbits, hamsters, horses, etc.) ; you get to feel nature upclose and it was in literal sense - a breath of fresh air -You may also opt for excursions around Gir/safari/Somnath etc. and the resort will arrange it for you as per your requirement (we did not opt for this) All in all, we expected our stay to be good but it turned out to be even better. To my fellow travelers, do visit this property if: - You plan to get away from all the hoopla and noise of the city -want to live amidst the nature -love to admire local flora/fauna -would love to explore the local kathiawadi cusine -you want to have a homely feel All we did was eat good food, walked in the farms and admired the beauty of this place this time - exactly the kind of vacation we were looking for. The owners live on site, so you may get in touch with them directly for any requirements. Needless to say, we will be back, thank you so much for making our stay enjoyable once again!
