“Small and peaceful resort with a huge potential”
The highlight of this place is the manager, Mr Chandrakant Taru, affectionately called 'Appa' by everyone; he handles both management and caretaking, and runs the restaurant/dining area, going out of his way to serve us simple, delicious meals. The property consists of only four cottages on a 1.8‑acre plot, with another four cottages and a swimming pool under construction and expected to finish by year‑end. A garden with swings and plenty of greenery, like the rest of Diveagar, surrounds the cottages, which are basic, ethnic‑styled, with a small verandah, lawn, AC, geyser, clothesline, and a western toilet with a few toiletries. We were the only guests because it was off‑season. PRO TIP: Food is limited and only cooked fresh on order, so you must order 2–3 hours ahead; overall it’s a good place for peace and quiet. The popular Suvarna Ganapati Temple is within walking distance, the Rupnarayan temple is a 2‑minute car ride, the nearest point on Diveagar beach is a 15‑minute walk or 3–5 minutes by car. Dr Amit owns the property and kept in constant contact to ensure we were well taken care of. I would suggest improvements: the entrance needs a wider, better‑marked gate with a larger illuminated sign, as it’s a sharp ninety‑degree turn with a narrow gate and a hard‑to‑miss signboard; bed linens, curtains, pillowcases, blankets, etc. should be fresh and clean; the mattress was hard; a tea/coffee maker with supplies should be in the room; the premises look overgrown and unkempt, with the garden not properly maintained; parking should be ample and clearly identified, especially with the expansion; roads could be cleaner, wider, and better; the fish pond at each cottage’s entrance had dirty water with floating rubbish.
