Machaan Wilderness Lodge Nagarahole

The 30 acre property provides the serenest and the most beautiful experience. I visited it as a solo traveller to relax and rejuvenate very recently and it did that beautifully . The rooms and the property are gorgeous . But what sets it apart is the hospitality and knowledge of the staff . The spa team is V caring n offer a really good experience and the restaurant chefs n team are too and the food excellent . The naturalists are exceptional , they really give their heart to the nature walks , Shreyas and Peter I m very thankful to . Gowtham , the naturalist , his hospitality was to be really great ful for . Every moment extremely kind , helpful and knowledgeable .the experience of Nagarahole n the forest made even richer cause of it . A definite go again for me and for any one who wants to soak in nature , learn about the animals , birds & reptiles of Nagarhole at the same time. A big thank you to the Machaan team and yes the tiger sighting , the nature walks with various frogs , reptiles n other nocturnal animals n the birding (more than 30 species I saw ) were the most memorable parts of this get away .

I had visited the stay on my anniversary and it was totally worth it. The hospitality was exceptional in terms of all the services. I had request for the room decoration and it was very well done by Sumanth and Subhash at my convenient time. Thanks for doing that Sumanth and Subhash. Exceptional activities like Plantation tour by Shreyas , the way he explains about the plants and trees was too good. A true naturalist. Post dinner Nocturnal walk with Gautham and walk before the checkout was so exciting where we saw different spiders , scorpions and learnt about their behaviour. They were so engaging and exciting. Last but not the least the Restaurant manager(forgot his name) was so welcoming and had prepared different foods and also suggested few dishes which was great. Overall it was a great experience and would like to visit again.

We stayed here as part of of our tour around South India, and I must say it was one of the highlights. We stayed in one of there yerts which was fantastic, the only downside was that after our first day we were joined on the resort by a school trip which got quite noisy at times.

Truly, the Machaan is a hidden gem for every visitor who loves nature. The environment is very relaxing and peaceful. It is a wonderful getaway from work. The staff really took care of us from the delicious food that is accommodated based on preference and the transportation for the whole trip and company on safaris, hiking trips, and bird watching walks. I really want to thank and commend the AMAZING Gowtham for his company and his knowledge in nature. He has truly made our experience one of a kind. I also want to thank Panish, Shreyes, all the restaurant staff, the cleaning staff, and everyone I missed for their lovely welcome.

They don’t have any activity in the resort and it’s overpriced. The swimming pool was so small where only kids can play, will not suggest this place for outing! Food options were lesser , basic items were missing such as Idli and Vada and live dosa.

Beautiful resort in a coffee estate. Well appointed rooms with Wi-Fi Air conditioning and tea/ coffee kettle. Lovely sit out overlooking the green expanse of the forest. Excellent Birding on the property and the night walks were most interesting to view some reptiles, and nocturnal animals. Food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Service could be improved a little but overall a beautiful property with great facilities. Would definitely recommend it.
