Welcome to Native Place, a unique guesthouse overlooking the serene Vadivali Lake. Just 2.5 hours out of Mumbai city via the expressway, this isolated retreat is the perfect haunt for dreamers, nature lovers and solitude seekers. Come here to relax and enjoy a quiet nature holiday or to climb the hills and paraglide over hills and lakes, either choice will rejuvenate your senses.

Native Place is built on an ideal location - a steeply sloping site facing a placid lake and lush hills forming a picturesque backdrop. The building follows natural ground contours and is snugly rooted on the site. The built form opens up to the natural light and ventilation creating sylvan comfort zones through spatial planning.

The entrance to Native Place is at the highest level and unobtrusive as one overlooks the terraces to see the lake in the distance. As one enters the precincts the winding path takes you through lush tropical plants and indigenous trees to the sun filled entrance courtyard in the East.

This leads to the main living area with rooms and dorms on one-side and steps leading to the kitchen and dining spaces. The steps go around the main court through which sunlight floods the main living areas. The living/dining opens to a breathtaking view of the lake and the lush sloping landscape. The main living space is a cozy shelter between the sit out on one side and the bright court on the other.

Two lake facing rooms have external access to afford more privacy while having easy proximity to the living space. The ambience is informal and conducive to a healthy bonding between the houseguests. The steps and low parapet walls are inviting sitting places generating a warm camaraderie among occupants. Some rooms have attached toilets and the dorms share common facilities, a popular attraction being an outdoor shower enhancing the nature experience.

Nestled in a remote valley in the Sahayadri Range, flanked by the rolling hills all around and overlooking the serene Vadivali Lake. Native place is the perfect getaway from city life. Located 2.5 hours from Mumbai, 40 minutes from the busy hill station of Lonavala and both are easily accessible via the expressway and by rail. Just a thirty minute drive out of the town of Kamshet

Native Place is the brain-child of Astrid and Sanjay Rao. We have been running Nirvana Adventures- a paragliding and adventure sports company based in Kamshet since 1998.

Together we aim to promote cultural and environment related adventure holidays in this area largely untouched by the commercial tourism machine, in a manner which is respectful of local traditions and customs.
