Excellent Getaway in the Middle of Nowhere.
This resort is located at the border of Maharashtra and Gujarat. The main attraction is the hill town of Saputara, which is 6 km away, and the only hill station of Gujarat. Nashik is the nearest city about 80 km south, and the road to Saputara from Nashik passes through Dindori, Vani and Borgaon. Shivaji’s fort of Hatgad is on top of a hill very close to the resort and one can trek up to the ruined fort from the resort.
We spent a leisurely 4 days at the resort enjoying the calm and serene atmosphere in the mornings. We would drive up to Saputara and explore the various points, the lake, the ropeway, and the temples; then have a Gujarati thali lunch at one of the hill resorts in Saputara, and come back to the Club and relax on the lawn or the terrace in the evening. The swimming pool at the resort was much too small for a proper swim, and would anyway be crowded with kids and their dads teaching them how to float. The lawn in the centre is a major attraction and they had laid out chairs, benches and charpoys for people to relax on. There was a Fun-Zone with all the indoor games like snooker, table-tennis, chess and carom, and bicycles were available for hire to ride around the campus. The main attraction for the small kids was the trampoline, and I saw some grown-up kids enjoying it too. For the ladies there is a nice Souvenir Shop, which had sarees, kurtas, salwar-kameez, onyx show pieces and chess sets, and other Rajasthani artefacts.
Our studio room was spacious and air conditioned, with a small sit-out. There was a large flat screen TV, electric kettle, a microwave oven, two sofas, coffee table, and a large cupboard. The bathroom was well stocked with hand and shower gel, hair dryer and an enclosed shower area.
House-keeping service was very prompt and efficient, and would replenish our tea, coffee, milk powder and sugar-free sachets at short notice. Kishore, Bhojprakash, and Ajaz were very helpful and friendly. We had an ala-carte meal at the restaurant and enjoyed the 'chicken methi' dish with naan. We did not do all day buffet dining as we would visit Saputara for lunch, and the buffet was way too expensive for our small appetites.
It is better to drive to this resort in your own vehicle as there is not much to do nearby, except climb up to the Hatgad Fort. Saputara is a 10 minute drive and we would drive up once a day, sight-see, have lunch and return for a snooze in the afternoon. There is parking space for about 30 cars near the gate, and during weekends the cars would spill out of the resort, but security was good, so no complaint on that score.
All in all we had a good time at Club Mahindra Hatgad.
