Fantastic Stay

The place gave us exactly what we wanted (Digital Detox, being close to nature and letting our kids know what a beautiful rural set-up means in a urbanized world). We stayed here with kids (7yrs and 3.5yrs) and to our surprise, the kids had more fun time exploring the place which was true to its name “Rustic Holidays”. The Hosts (Mr. Nithin and Mrs. Shilpa) of the place are so insightful and passionate about nature. The cultural food was very tasty. The entire set-up reminded us of how calming nature can be. Would definitely be visiting again.

Good Experience

If you want to experience nature’s beauty, tranquility, peace along with comforts of home and amazing food cooked on wood fire then this place is for you.
I chanced upon this place after reading an article in Conde Nast and outlook traveller. Hosts Mr & Mrs Karkare have opened their 200 year old Ancestral paradise with guests. Along with sharing snippets of the history of their place they are well versed with the flora and fauna surrounding their property. They make sure you are comfortable and well fed.
Accomodation is in independent cottages made in rustic style, clean and comfortable. Cottages are surrounded by landscaped gardens and outdoor dipping pool and gazebo.
Food is outstanding. Cooked on wood fire, the food is a treat to your body as well as soul.
Staff is trustworthy and responsive.
The atmosphere is like home so feel free to ask the hosts for any assistance.
My suggestion to them is to start something for wellness like traditional ayurvedic massage and yoga etc so that guests can heal inside out.
One feels refreshed here and ready to join the routine back with rejuvenated mind.

Wonderful Stay

“Exactly the way we had imagined, exactly the way we wanted it to be. Perfect place for relaxing and spending a couple of days at a Konkan village. The host Nitin and Shilpa will ensure that you have a comfortable and pleasant stay. We had a lovely two-day stay during early monsoon.”
