FAQ's

Please consider following tips:

  1. The walk from the parking area to the entrance is roughly 200 mts. The guests have to cross a betel nut trunks bridge over a beautiful water stream.The same pathway from the parking area till the entrance of the farm is not lit up in the night.so carry the torches.
  2. Mobile network is not guaranteed. However, the guests can use host landline/wi-fi if required. Television is avoided in order to maintain seclusion and enhance your relationship with nature. Wi-Fi is limited to dining area only. The real motivation for holidays at Maachli is to stay away from such modern equipments like Wi-Fi, TV, mobile network, telephone etc for essential digital and gadget detox.
  3. We have eco-friendly, environment-friendly and summer friendly cottages and not the air-conditioned ones. The cottages are designed innovatively by using cross ventilation technique and surrounded by the thick plantation which keeps it in a comfortable zone without AC even in Summer.
  4. Owing to the fact that cottages are located in the plantation area,no eatables are allowed to be eaten in the cottage.You can use the dining area for the same.
  5. We do not serve alcohol or have MRP counter (for chips, beverages, etc).You can get your own stuff from outside.

We have no specific activities for the kids. We have realized the fact that kids enjoy nature a lot and are not in need of any activity! However, parents are requested to accompany their kids all the time and make sure that the plants remain unharmed.

We are a conceptual, theme-based, experiential, and eco-friendly getaway. The Maachli Farmstay is a niche concept for a small, distinguished, and classy tourist population. We are most suitable for families, couples, and solo travelers who are hardcore nature lovers.

We do not have an a-la-carte facility. We serve ethnic, authentic, regional, and traditional Malvani Saraswat cuisine cooked on wood fire. The menu is fixed and we do not serve any other style of cuisine.

We are situated in a remote area so there are only few such options nearby. You have food options either in Malvan (24km), Vengurla (25km), Kudal (20km) or the small inn situated around 2 km and 5 km respectively from the homestay.

It is a great experience staying in Maachlis (traditional huts prepared by farmers) as one can experience great abundance of flora and fauna. We, as hosts have relished those beautiful movements staying in Maachli and wish to share the same with our distinguished and niche travelers. Our ideas are aligned with sustainability and environment friendly living and we strive to showcase the extraordinary side of the ordinary village life style. The Maachli Farmstay can also be termed as a contemporary home stay or a boutique property. It is an appropriate platform for the guests to interact with the hosts for absorbing the culture, tradition, flora and fauna and significantly the sustainability and eco friendliness. The luxury at Maachli is in the concept, ecosystem, experience and an idyllic village life! Our role is to help guests unfold it. The experience is unique in itself and incompatible with any of the typical hotels or resorts.
