The Bob House

The play area includes a pool, gaming zone, and indoor games. The rooms are well-equipped and comfortable with a great lake view. The service is excellent, staff is friendly, and the food is delicious.

Five of us friends booked a night's stay at The Bob House during the first week of June. This was our first-ever trip together (we have been a group since school days...25+ years), and so we were eager to make it happen. Furthermore, one of us was also celebrating his birthday, so it had to be special. After shortlisting a few properties, we zeroed in on this one because of some very impressive images and reviews that we found online. At the end of the trip, we came away with feelings of great elation about having made the trip happen, but some mixed feelings about the stay. A review is in order because the property truly holds great potential:- Location: The location of The Bob House is probably its biggest USP. Located about 120–130 km from Mumbai and around 21 km from the Kamshet railway station, it provides a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Since the resort is nestled between hills on all sides and situated on the edge of the Pawana Lake (literally a walk across the road) in Lonavala, one can enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding hills from one of the upper rooms of the resort. Location-wise, the property is also a trekker's paradise, with the Lohagad, Tikona, Visapur, and Tung forts all falling within a 20 km radius, and the Pawana Dam and Dudhiware Waterfall also in close proximity. *Word of caution: The final 3–4 km stretch of the approach road towards the resort is literally a dirt road with rough terrain, and you will probably experience a bumpy ride. But then again, you will probably not think of it as too much of a big deal once you've reached your destination. Ambience: As the name suggests, the resort has been set up pretty intelligently with the underlying theme of Bob Marley and his music. Accordingly, everything in the resort is amply bathed in the colour palette of the Rastafarian movement, viz., red, yellow, green, and black. The smart use of shipping containers for certain rooms, the vibrant colours, and the ample foliage of mango and other fruit trees add several notches to the generally positive vibe of the place. Fans of Bob Marley and reggae music will be delighted with the classics being played on loop through the course of the day. Rooms: We booked a 'Panoramic Lake View' room, which is one of the upper-level rooms. The room was a tad small for the five of us, but fairly comfortable with two queen-sized beds and a bathroom. For me, the key highlight of this room was the wooden deck/balcony (with a safety railing) outside the room, from where you can feast your eyes on the scenic beauty of the lake and of the swimming pool below. Standing on this deck in the early morning and simply staring into the distance was a cathartic experience. Welcome and Amenities: The owner personally came to usher us into the resort and direct us to our rooms, which felt nice and welcoming. He was also kind enough to allow us an early check-in since we arrived a little early. Moreover, he helped us

Such a lovely place it is Bob house, I would love to be at Bob again and again. Rooms, foods every things is excellent, special thanks to the all crews , cleaning and maintenance is best. The view from room to lake is amazing
