This was our second visit to the machan and we loved every minute of it. Ours was a family break and as soon as we entered the machan, the Glass house reminded my aunt of the amazing homes ditty. One should go there with people you know well enough so that night clothes are all ok as the place has... More

Being at “The Machan” was an outstanding experience and it’s very difficult to put it in words. The service levels are marvellous and the staff is very professional & passionate in what they do. The concept and execution put us all in awe. We were in the midst of Nature yet in luxurious environment. The stay was priceless and will... More

Literally..off the beaten path. My wife and I went there for a quick getaway from Mumbai (any other town would have been too far.) I wasn't initially too excited because Lonavla is pretty much your standard Mumbai getaway. When I checked TripAdvisor and found the reviews for this place, I began to get interested and booked it, though still wasn't... More

It was a wonderful experience to stay at The Machan. Great place, amazing people, awesome food it had everything anyone could ask for. I love the “green” concept of it as it blends with the land in every way. it was like heaven on earth.A very beautiful place to have relaxing holiday. I loved the nature trek in the morning... More

What attracted me to The Machan was its name and the beautifully done interiors so well captured for the web-site. Its not actually a Tree House Hotel but has the Tree literally living and growing through one corner of the house and has one level of the house suspended and supported by beams. The Machan is an indulgent, passionate, beautifully... More

My wife Vani and I had set out for Colaba from our Bandra flat yesterday morning with the intention of spending a lazy Sunday in South Mumbai. Just before we got onto the Sea-Link we decided to drive to Lonavala on a whim. We never realized what a good idea that was until we got to The Machan and decided... More

Stayed in camp canopy at the Machan for 3 nights recently. The place is a slice of bliss waiting to envelope you as soon as you get here. Whilst its only two and a half hours from Mumbai (Bandra), it could have been on a different planet, for we forgot all our worries, TVs and cares within minutes of being... More

When you first walk into the Machan, the view on the opposite wall leaves one stunned. For us our trip was already made. We were 6 adults (all family) and a 5 year old and the Machan was just the place for a get-together. The Machan gives a feeing of openness with the use of glass instead of opaque walls.... More

Picked up this place based on TripAdvisor ratings/reviews. The ratings are bang on as Machan provides a very refreshing experience. I booked this for my wife's birthday and the place along with the very helpful staff made our stay really good. Special kudos to Waseem and Niraj for taking care of our special needs as we were with kids. The... More
