Avishkar Holiday Home Lonavala - Holiday home in Lonavala - Pune, India

We have visited this place for family outing. Overall the villa is nice. Rooms and washrooms are clean and has basic facilities. Location is outstanding, property was clean and maintained. However, food was average. Taste was good but the quantity was limited. Chicken biryani had few pieces of chicken, same goes for chicken curry. They serve veg and non veg food. They do not have much options in veg food. Suggestion - 1. They should use kettles/thermas to serve tea/coffee. 2. They may charge additional cost for the food and should have more options.

Best place I had visited in recent times. Staff was friendly. Location is very peaceful. Away from the crowd. They provided early check-in without any extra charge. Food was good. The only thing that can be improved is the path to the resort. This is a must visit property.. situated amidst dense nilgiri rain forest and within a spice plantation. This property is serene and very peaceful... Kudos for the chef n his team for preparing very tasty dishes.. very friendly staff who are always ready to help... I recommend everyone to experience the beauty of Avishkar Holiday home loanavala.

Visited the villa last week with my friends. It is a 2 story villa with swimming pool and playing area for kids and a little constructed hut-like seating area with some goose. The villa is just some seconds away from the pune Mumbai highway (near malavali). When we were booking the villa we were told that there would be only one family and us in the villa. But as soon as we reached the villa we saw a crowd of 7-8 bachelors (boys) playing cricket and a family with around 9-10 people at the pool and seating area. We were really disappointed we wanted to cancel but couldn't get the refund back. So we decided to stay. The rooms and washroom were clean but they were really tiny. And the speed of the water was very slow. If you want the view of lonavala then please avoid staying there. Didn't even want to give any stars but gave 2 stars for the caretaker who were really nice and helpful. And make sure we shouldn't be worrying about anything.

Place was good the care taker which was there was very rude asking for extra money when we declined to pay extra he's started taking rude doesn't have manners to talk avoid this place if you are planning to go with family

Superb place for an outing with friends and families. Spacious rooms, big lawn, swimming pool! Very well maintained and clean. Caretaker is a star! Sanjay never said no to anything. Even Farid who manages the place was very helpful and offered great rates. We had a blast

Pros: 1] The property has 10 bedrooms with individual baths and toilets which is well maintained. 2] Caretaker is very helpful and kind person. Cons: 1] You do not get a feel of Lonavala as there is absolutely no view of hills, valley or clouds. 2] The food is sourced from a nearby local restaurant who does not have any variety. All dishes taste the same and have a dangerous content of Oil. Strictly not suitable for anyone. Worst food quality. 3] The property has a dozen of geese who will wake you up at 6am. 4] Power failure happens for roughly 3-4 hours in a day. 5] There is no water supply in the washrooms due to the power failure.

An ok place, they offer vegetarian and non vegetarian food as well. The food is good. There are ducks which can be quite an attraction for the kids. The place is a bit off road and you have to cross the toll if you want to visit Elvira aai temple....can opt for this if there are no other options available

Not good for family. Gathering with friends for drinks is perfect where you bought your own bottles and dry snacks and enjoy. The khansama here can make chicken etc for you
