Spent a night at Oleander Farms, Karjat. Coming from a concrete polluted jungle, this place was heaven. Trees, trees…n more trees…. some cultivated, mostly wild. Recd a high quota of pure oxygen. The property spreads over acres n has spacious rooms with-thought-of amenities in each room. Loved the layout of the rooms. They were well spread out and no one room overlooked another. They had rooms overlooking a garden, a swimming pool and a lake. We loved the one we had overlooking the pool. The pool was huge n really nice. The amenities on the property are like fab. A play area with trampoline, swings n slides for kids, a bowling alley n a area for games, a tea tasting room, a shop selling organic foods n other utilities, a plant nursery where u can pot your own plants, an artisan shop with lovely clothes (i shopped😂) a small room with vintage cars, a yoga room, an area for animals n birds and even a butta (corn) fellow with the most outstanding sweet tender corn roasted n dressed with lovely masalas. And Umpteen banquet rooms in different areas of the property for business n marriage functions. It’s a complete break from the city, place to be. Things that stood out… their restaurants Saltt and Common Place- ambience 5*, food 5*, staff 5*. We were told some people drive here just for the food. I would too. Our helper waiter Arjun was hell bent on feeding us the entire menu for breakfast. At breakfast, the South Indian food was absolutely outstanding. They had small cars at any given time to take u in and around the property with congenial drivers. Think of an activity and Oleander Farms will cater to it… I gave an overall rating of a 4.5 because I think they can work a bit more on the cleanliness factor n the little miscellaneous things. But this is one place I highly recommend as a city getaway.
