Machaan Wilderness Lodge Nagarahole

Amazing stay at Machaan Resort - the rooms are surrounded by coffee plantations and beautiful nature making a really relaxing environment Great attention to detail and the staff were all really friendly. We went on two of the nature walks around the resort which were really interesting - the naturalists passion is contagious Big thank you to Shreyas in particular who provided a great introduction into the nature around us as well as helping to liaise for Safari trips and anything else we needed support with

the food choices was not as good and the food was not very hot. Limited choices at the breakfast buffet .

the food was not very good. My friend had food poisoning on the 1st day after having tea - veg sandwiches.

The entire experience including the location, the ambience, the staff, the food, omg the food. Everything was perfect and made us feel very comfortable and taken care of! Loved it!!

Nature, peace, staying in a Yurt, and doing the nature walks, a must if you stay

Superb stay and made even more awesome by the wonderful knowledge of flora and fauna on the various interactions with staff. An outstanding stay. The food was out of this world too. Disappointed we didn’t stay a bit longer but the park safari was not possible in Nagarhole forest itself but we did Waynad instead. Wonderful guide on the safari and will definitely recommend and return ourselves. Thank you 🙏🏼

Nothing!

Beautiful resort, in tune with nature all around. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff. Excellent food.

Herrlich ruhige, mitten in einer Kaffeeplantage liegende Lodge, mit Blick auf ein kleines Savannental mit See. Allein schon die Atmosphäre verführt dazu, stundenlang den Geräuschen der Vögel und vieler anderer Tiere zu lauschen. Das Frühstücks- noch mehr das Dinnerangebot ist sehr vielfältig und hervorragend, der Service aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Leider war der Nationalpark (Nagarahole) vorübergehend geschlossen, um so mehr bemühte sich der Lodge-Manager um wirklich tolle Alternativen (kleinere Wanderungen, Naturführungen, Nachtausflug etc.).

Das Buchungsprozedere ist (technisch) sehr professionell, erscheint aber übertrieben sicherheitsbezogen. Auch die vielen und wiederholten Hinweise, was alles zu beachten ist, wirken deutlich überzogen. Die Zimmer erscheinen auf den Fotos einladender als sie sind. Die Einrichtung ist eher minimalistisch („schwedisch“), alles ziemlich ‚kühl‘ und nicht wirklich wohlfühlend.

The location just in the middle of the forest is awesome, excellent place for a two or three days stay with family or friends

Need more fun activities, good to have some indoor games

The room was spacious and airy as was the bathroom. There was a large deck overlooking the beautiful plantings from which we could hear and view birds all day. The restaurant is terrific - they seemed willing and able to prepare almost anything asked for - and the serving sizes enormous! Due to no fault of their own, safaris were banned in Karnataka and they are willing to drive you over the border to Kerala. We hope that government ban is soon lifted. Even without those, there were many opportunities to observe the flora and fauna with expert guides. It was a relaxing and delightful experience with ample staff and friendly guests who shared social time. The only caution is for anyone with physical disabilities: there is significant walking and stair climbing required to get around the property.
