Dhun Heta property in Panchgani (just a few hours away from Pune), has two magnificent bungalows, Dhun Heta bungalow, a massive colonial structure built in 1914 and the cozy little Jena Cottage. Declared as a heritage property, these two bungalows are all that you need this monsoon to get away from city-life and rejuvenate in the real sense of the term.
Dhun Heta Bungalow has a perfectly maintained, sprawling garden, an extra-ordinary front porch, a large hall and dining area, two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The place is filled with antiques such as utensils and artefacts which teleport you to a beautiful bygone era. The bungalow can accommodate 8 to 9 people at a time.
What I loved the most about this place is how welcoming it is. A home away from home is truly the best way to describe the stay experience here! The moment you enter the property, a sense of calmness takes over. The place resonates with love and if you're looking for some TLC, rest assured to find it here. For a bibliophile like me, this place is heaven. It has numerous books and cozy little corners to simply sit, sip on tea and read.
The reading room here also has many family photographs, which allow you to peep into the life of the owners and their ancestors.
A special note for the caretakers of the bungalow and the house-help who ensure you are comfortable and how! The dining table will always have a basket replete with fruits, breakfast of your choice will be served piping hot to you is and tea or coffee will be freshly prepared for you whenever you ask. Additional meals (lunch and dinner) can be cooked free of cost by the lovely house-help, provided you either arrange for the groceries or pay them to bring the same (they ensure to give you a bill of all the purchases). An overnight getaway to this heavenly abode costs Rs. 2000 per person.
For those of you with furry friends, Dhun Heta property is pet-friendly and your pets are sure to have a gala time there.
