WEEKEND NURSERY AND COTTAGES, Khandala

Visited weekend nursery and cottages on weekend (june 24th 2017). The place was located very nicely and thus the environment and greenery in the place was quite good and was a visual treat without a doubt. Incessant rains added to the pleasure. While the weekend cottages were located pretty well and hence enjoying the weather and environment there was a sure treat, the service and food was of an ordinary quality and lack of punctuality and discipline was apparent among the staff. The house keeping maids and cooks were quite ordinary and lacked the basic sense and education. While trying to clean the room, one of the maids even dropped all the clothes from our suitcase. Same was the case with food which was pretty non-cosmopolitan and non-satisfying. The websites mention a restaurant on campus but there was none. Hence one has no other option but to order the food in the room and have it there. The room did not have a cup board/wardrobe. Moreover, the staff had to be explicitly told to replace the linens after a day of stay. Hence it was evident that they were not well versed with the fundamentals of hospitality business. To summarize, below is the list of pros and cons - Pros - 1) Excellent location. 2) Lush green surroundings. 3) Great weather. Cons - 1) Below average food. 2) Lack of punctuality from cooks. 3) They do not accept credit/debit cards and want the entire food expenses in cash (Yes!! strange but true) 4) Rooms dont have wardrobes/almirahs and hence I can say the rooms are overpriced considering ordinary room service. 5) Not only lunch, but breakfast, tea etc. everything is charged unlike the standard resorts that provide breakfast/tea complimentary in the mornings

Cootage are at natural place, but too natural in cottage that ants are raging in bathroom and bad area, intercom is only for reminding checkout otherwise no use, toilet flush is not working, tv remote are full of moisture so not working as explained, tea can not be ordered next time so better we have not ordered food and still it is super deluxe😂😇. Not worth to visit first time or next time.

beautiful place to stay with your family, the ambience of the place is really beautiful and peaceful away from all day busy and hectic lifestyle. This place is definitely for people who love to be alone and enjoy the scenic beauty and atmosphere with your family. The staff has also been very courteous.

From even before the stay started, when we started a conversation with owner, our trip was a done deal. A friendly soul , we were guided well. The room was cosy enough to warrant a great stay amid nature. The food served to us was absolutely like home. Loved the place enough to say " We'll be back"
