Fazlani Nature Park Review

Fazlani Nature's Nest is a beautiful 68 acre property and one of the best we've been to as a family so far, situated outside of the city limits between Lonavla/Pune (place called Vadgaon), in a calm and serene set up.

Things to look forward to if you plan to visit:

1. Unique check-in where the staff comes to the couch you are seated on and you don't need to go to the desk.

2. Golf cart & bicycles for movement within the property.

3. A beautiful lake at one end of the property with benches (and a machan) to sit on for a nice peaceful time.

4. A horse stable where you can feed and ride the horses.

5. A goat milking activity.

6. A flora tour (we missed it so can't share much).

7. An agro tour where they have a large variety of fruits and vegetables being grown.

8. An open bird park where ducks, turkeys, pheasants and other birds move around you. They also have more caged birds in various parts of the property. 

9. A bullock cart ride.

10. A nice trek through nature, ending at a nice point on the lakeside.

11. A school and hostel on the campus for kids adopted by the founders and a hobby centre in it for kids who visit ( pottery, glass painting etc). 

12. Bonfire at night.

13. The restaurant focuses on health. Good food but with less salt and sugar. Jaggery provided as an option for tea etc.

14. The rooms were clean and decent. We took the base option. 

15. Staff is very helpful and courteous.

16. Kids play area/game zone.

Cons (which arent that bad):

1. Just 1 restaurant and a tad bit expensive. Since it's a cut off property, you cannot go out for food. The food taste needs work for sure.

2. All activities end by 6 pm. So post 6 pm you can just chill at the property.

3. A con for some but not all - the property is a no gutkha/smoke/alcohol place. They even make you sign a declaration to abide by it.

4. They don't accept Diners Black Credit Card.

5. Erm...not too cheap. But it is worth spending the amount on a night for sure! Definitely peanuts compared to the joy that your kid experiences!

A must visit place for couples and families. Our  7 year old daughter just could not control her excitement for the 27 hours we spent at this heavenly property.
