What Is It?
How Do I Get There?
About two and a half hours away from Mumbai, getting to the farmstay by the road is the easiest option via the Mumbai-Pune highway. It is lying on the hinges of Marunji village and is about six kilometres away from Hijenwadi.
What's So Unique About It?
It’s a peaceful home away from home. Nestled in the lush green farm run by the Broome couple, it offers two gorgeous cottages decked up in the colonial style with posters beds, bamboo furniture with fresh flowers kept in the vases. For nature lovers they have two tree houses perfect for bird watching.
The farm also has a cute little nursery set up by Leela with a lot of Ayurvedic plants about. They have a small dairy on the farm usually with several milking Gir cows, and Holstein-Fresian crosses for anyone who’s looking for fresh organic milk everyday. In other words, it’s a gorgeous green oasis bustling with life and blooming with flaura and fauna that one rarely ever finds in the city.
Why Should I Go?
To escape the city madness, and to surround yourself with serenity. It’s a self-sustaining farm with solar panels on the roof for electricity, vegetables patches for fresh and organic food and enough space to talk around and explore the nature.
For INR 4,766 per night {per couple} you can book your stay here. The lovely hosts love interacting with their guests and will even hand down an itinerary for you as to what one can explore around the area. They live just a minute away from the cottages and will be around to make sure everything’s comfortable and gonig smoothly.
So, We're Saying...
Broome farmstays is the ideal almost utopian escape from the city life that hounds us day in and day out. Out at the Broome’s one can be at one with nature, discuss books with Leela or walk around taking in the pureness of the simple surroundings that is a farm life.
