What's So Unique About It?
Maachli is smack in the middle of a plantation that is being taken care of by the Samant family, who’ve made sure to not cut down any trees in the area. In fact, the cottages are eco-friendly, wooden and go well the overall ambience of the nature and greenery surrounding them. The whole concept of getting away at Maachli is to be one with nature. They offer simple yet beautiful village-type huts for their guests surrounded by lush coconut, banana and spice plantation. The cottages all have balconies and offer basic facilities.
They’re so particular about serving their concept to the guests, even the food is well thought out. The food is served on banana leaves, and earthen pots are used to cook and serve. The vegetables are organic and grown on the plantation itself, cooked on the choola {mud-stove} to really bring out the flavour.
