This review is only for the stay at Clyde’s place. The villa is quite cosy and beautiful, very homely and located between lush green surroundings including medicinal plants. Clyde takes... read more personal interest in ensuring everything is spotless clean and tidy. There are lots of books kept for guests to read too. It’s a perfect place if you want to just get away from the city hustle and enjoy time with your near and dear ones or just sit quietly in between nature and sip a hot coffee

Short distance away there is a beautiful river where the caretaker can take you. It was amazing during the rains. There are some good restaurants about 15-30mins away.

Overall quite a nice place for a relaxing weekend

  We stayed for 3 days at Clyde's farmhouse. We have done several stays through Airbnb over the years, and this rates amongst the most enjoyable. The farm is around 15... read more min drive from Karjat, near a village called Kadava. Clyde, Bhavika and their family were there to meet us when we reached. They took us around the whole farm. It was wonderful to see so many different varieties of plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables, incl several with medicinal properties. Their passion and knowledge in this field came out very clearly during our interaction then.

The bungalow has 2 large bedrooms and a large living room with an ample sized open kitchen on one side. Most amenities that one would require were there. Overall, it was very comfortable with special attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Clyde was very prompt in his responses and suggestions and did everything necessary to make us feel at home. The caretaker was super helpful too, a cheerful person who was happy to go out of his way to attend to anything we needed.

Swimming pool, bonfine on each night etc added more enjoyment to our stay. There is a very friendly and adorable dog which stays in the farm. WIFI worked well.

For food, we tried both the locally cooked food from village (Clyde arranged) as well as from simple restaurants within 10-15 mins drive - both options were good and are worth trying.

Weather was very pleasant (in December 3rd week), almost cold. Cross-ventilation within the bungalow is good. The bungalow does not have AC - I wouldn't know about summer, but in winter/monsoons, I dont think it is required. Amazingly, despite so much greenery/vegetation there, we were not bothered by mosquitos / insects.

Thanks Clyde and Bhavika for your hospitality, we had a really good stay.

  Value for money.. lovely place to stay if you want nice time far from city it's a good place.. rooms and washrooms were clean and also the pool was maintained.... read more The care taker person was also cooperative.. overall space was big and the space around the house is also big enough

  We had a wonderful time at Clyde and Bhavika's place. They were there as a family to welcome us, show us around and make sure we had everything we need... read more and more. They have some interesting medicinal plants on the farm that we learnt about. Clyde made arrangements for a BBQ and bonfire, and overall made us feel like we were family.

We enjoyed the private pool on the property and spent most of our day in it.

The caretaker and his wife were very kind as well and we enjoyed home cooked meals that they prepared for us.

  Shalom is really great place for relaxing and it's also near from thane and mumbai for traveling. house indoor images on airbnb is not match the actual vibs. house setup... read more is also good. and Cosmos (pet dog) is surprise in this trip

  This was a really cool experience. The place has road access and has a beautiful organic farm within the compound with a small nature walk.

The place opens... read more up to a set of larger farms on the other side with hilly views (you can actually hike up to these hills after walking for about 1 hour from the property)

The place was extremely clean with a functional kitchen. We had food prepared by mama and Mami (lovely people who work at the property) - the food is really simple but extremely tasty. I would recommend eating here.

There was a bit of a confusion with the food orders we had placed, but Clyde and mama Mami helped us resolve it immediately and also cooked some delicious meals for us through out.

I would 100% recommend this place for 3/4 people for a couple nights. The nature around the place during monsoons specially makes you feel you are away from the buzzing city lives.

Thanks to Clyde and Mama Mami for letting us stay and have a memorable stay.

If I had to change something -

I wish there were more yellow lights in the house over white lights.

I feel the mattresses could be a little better thicker.
