It is not a hotel.. its a lovely house. We stayed at peerbhoy room that was facing the verandah. My experience there was amazing...i loved strolling around the house in the afternoon. Every part of the house had something to say. There were pictures of people who could probably be the actual owners of the house. Typical old style house,... more

What a beautiful hotel. Bags of character and well-maintained. The location is lovely - very quiet and peaceful. The food is average (although the cookies served with afternoon tea are a real treat!) and the staff need to smile a little more, but these are minor criticisms - overall, it's a delight and very good value for money. Yes, getting... more

This place was amazing! Away form the other hotels, yet only a 10m walk into the village. Rooms were very clean and spacious! Superb service, for ANYTHING you need and with a smile. The best bit was the food. I am one hell of a fussy eater, yet the chef cooked up stuff that beat what I have eaten in... more

We, a family of 4 including 12 and 14 year old children, spent 2 nights at the Verandah in the Forest. Getting there was an amazing experience for us as there is no motorised transport from the car park to the hotel. We chose a horse each and a lady porter to carry our bags for the hour long trip... more

We visited this hotel during a long weekend in April. We stayed at this hotel for one night, but left with the intention of returning for a longer stay. Though not as large and elaborate like the Neemrana Palace Hotel at Neemrana (this is a property managed by the Neemrana Group), this place has its share of charm and exclusivity.... more

I found this hotel through Sawdays and it was also listed in India Chic - it came highly recommended - so what's not to like? My boyfriend and I had 5 days to cover as much Mumbai & environs as we could, so we decided that a trip out to Matheran to this hotel was just the ticket. So, the... more

This was a charming and exotic holiday destination which the family as a whole enjoyed thoroughly....the candle-lit several course dinners....the lazy mornings on the large and completely secluded and quiet verandahs, sipping tea and reading a book, the hammocks and the tree-house (which the kids clambered up and down to with great gusto)...the four-poster beds, the clean and yet quaint... more
