Review Of Nature Villas Basa Homestay

Location: It's a beautiful little property (comprising of 4 huts and a restaurant) nested in the mountains of Pauri and surrounded by Pine trees. Very peaceful and serene. Car Park: Given its on a hilltop, you need to park 4 wheeler on the roadside and take a nice little 100+ feet steep trek to reach your cottage. Food: The menu is quite elaborate and children loved the lassi, Oreo & mango shakes, and fries. Staff: The property is managed by 2 very courteous staff members during day (1 at night) who are often appear overwhelmed with work when operating near capacity. We were told that owner is busy managing other property in Pauri. Decor & Amenities: Very beautiful landscaping and cozy huts. Amenities include swings, a working WiFi and a camp fire provision (couldn't use it as campfire requires advance day time intimation due to leopard scare) Cleanliness: Staff shortage resulted in smelling washroom that couldn't be fixed in our 3 night stay despite requests. Others: Taking luggage to and fro between road and cottage can be a little overwhelming trek (during times of staff crunch - faced this esp. during checkout). Overall: Worth staying here for a couple of nights. While it's farther than options like Lansdowne and Mansoori, it has a similar weather and yet it's 100 times more exclusive. We enjoyed our stay here.
