Private cottage weekend getaway from Pune — Moonstone Cottage Kamshet
Leave Friday 7 PM Arrive before dinner
The Closest Escape You're Not Taking

The Sahyadris
are closer than
you think.

Most Pune weekends end the same way — a late Friday dinner at the usual place, Saturday errands, Sunday anxiety. Moonstone is 1 hour from Hinjewadi. You can leave after work and be sitting on your private lawn watching the Sahyadri ridgeline go dark before 9 PM.

🛣️
Pune → Kamshet via Expressway — Take the Mumbai–Pune Expressway, exit at Kamshet. That's it.
🐾
Bring your dog. 12,500 sq ft of fenced grounds, off-leash from the moment you arrive. No extra charge.
☕
Breakfast both mornings — for 2 guests, cooked fresh. You just show up.
🏡
Not a room in a resort. The entire cottage — bedroom, bathroom, living space, 12,500 sq ft grounds — is yours alone.
The Experience

What a
Moonstone weekend
actually feels like.

From Friday evening to Sunday checkout — a timeline of the kind of weekend Pune rarely offers.

Friday · 9:00 PM
You arrive.
The city disappears.

The driveway is quiet. The air actually smells different. You open the cottage door and it's all yours — no front desk, no strangers, no check-in queue.

Friday · 10:30 PM
Bonfire.
Silence. Stars.

Request a bonfire and sit under a sky you haven't seen from Pune in months. No light pollution. No car horns. Just the Sahyadri wind.

Saturday · 8:00 AM
Wake up to
nothing urgent.

No traffic below the window. No notifications you can't ignore. Breakfast appears. A king-size bed. A marble bathroom. The hills outside the glass.

Saturday · 11:00 AM
Paragliding over
the valley.

Kamshet is India's paragliding capital. Launch sites are 5–10 minutes by car. Then come back and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the afternoon.

Saturday · 6:30 PM
Sunset from
your own lawn.

The Sahyadri ridgeline turns amber. Your dog is running the grounds. You have nowhere else to be. This is the moment people come back for.

Sunday · 11:30 AM
A checkout that
doesn't feel rushed.

Late breakfast. One last walk on the grounds. Back in Pune by 1 PM, which still leaves most of Sunday. The best kind of weekend math.

Getting Here from Pune

Simple.
Straightforward.

Two ways to reach Moonstone Cottage from Pune. Both take under 2 hours.

🚗
By Road
~1 hr · ~60 km
  • From Pune city, head toward the Mumbai–Pune Expressway (NH48)
  • Drive toward Mumbai — take the Kamshet exit
  • Follow Kamshet road toward Trikaya Retreat / Jambhavali
  • Call us when you're near — we guide you in for the last stretch
  • 📍 Open in Google Maps →

From Hinjewadi / Wakad: You're actually closer than central Pune — roughly 75–80 minutes. Take the Wakad bridge to the Expressway and exit Kamshet.

🚂
By Train
~75 min · Pune Station → Kamshet
  • Take any Pune–Mumbai train from Pune Junction
  • Deboard at Kamshet railway station
  • Auto-rickshaw to Moonstone Cottage — ~10 min, ~₹150
  • WhatsApp us before you travel — we can arrange pickup

Trains run frequently on the Pune–Lonavala–Mumbai route. Deccan Express, Indrayani Express — several options. Check IRCTC or confirm via WhatsApp and we'll help plan.

The Honest Take

Why not Lonavala?
Fair question.

Lonavala is 20 minutes from Moonstone. It's also where 10,000 Pune residents go every weekend — and you can feel it. The traffic, the resorts with 300 guests, the "private pool" shared between four families, the Saturday evening traffic jam back on the Expressway.

Kamshet is what Lonavala used to be before it was discovered. Quieter forests. Fewer people. And Moonstone Cottage gives you something no Lonavala resort can: the entire property to yourself. No corridor. No shared spaces. No strangers at breakfast.

Typical Lonavala Resort
Shared. Crowded. Noisy.
  • ✗ 200–300 guests sharing the property
  • ✗ Pool, breakfast, spaces — all shared
  • ✗ Corridor noise, strangers at checkout
  • ✗ Pets usually not allowed
  • ✗ Traffic jam back to Pune on Sunday
Moonstone Cottage
Private. Quiet. Entirely Yours.
  • ✓ Only 1 cottage. Only your group.
  • ✓ 12,500 sq ft grounds — all yours
  • ✓ Breakfast for 2 included every morning
