Glenogle

Maharashtra


This 1840s tin-roof heritage bungalow sits just as it did when it was built by the British government for one of its captains. Nestled in its own forest just 1.3km from the main bazaar, it feels a world away from the town, with five beautifully appointed bedrooms teeming with arts and antiques.

The bungalow is normally rented as a whole (so it can be a steal if you are traveling with a group), but friendly owner Neville will consider renting the individual rooms on a case-by-case basis.
