The Postcard Hideaway, Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary, Goa

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Postcard Netravali. We were blessed with the first rains of the year there, which made the stay even more magical. Extremely warm, attentive and kind staff; beautiful, comfortable rooms, and delicious food... not to mention the incredible location - there is so much to explore if you are a nature lover. Couldn't recommend it more highly!

Left a review last year that seems to have been deleted. Stayed twice at this hotel in 2024 at the start and end of the family holiday. Amazing location and the food was good although limited. The swimming pool is amazing. The reason for the low score is that coming back we were given rooms that were not as good as the previous visit. In addition we were asked to move out of our room on the last day due to a wedding. We had asked before booking if we could have an extended day on the last day of the holiday and if the hotel was busy. We were assured it was quiet and they would allow this. In addition I made a complaint that went nowhere. Would I go back no as the whole experience left a bad taste and they have also removed my previous review! Get a grip Hideaway.

This was our second stay in a Postcard hotel and it lived up to the high standards they set. Located in the Netravali wildlife sanctuary it is surrounded by the pristine jungle of the Western Ghats, perfect for exploring or simply relaxing on your balcony soaking up the amazing view. Our chalet was well appointed spotlessly clean and ideally located. We had breakfast on our balcony one morning and marvelled at the sights and sounds around us. We were also lucky enough that evening to watch a family of langur monkeys feasting on berries right outside. We took full advantage of the experiences offered, a 2 hour trek with very knowledgeable naturalist guides to a local waterfall, a fascinating visit to the nearby spice farm with a delicious lunch, and a relaxing massage in the spa. Perfect! The manager Ranjan and his whole team were excellent. Polite, professional and so friendly. It was great to meet chef Lim who had such enthusiasm and was willing to go the extra mile to create a wonderful bespoke four course dining experience for us. Thank you! The hotel policies of anytime check in/check out and anytime breakfasts are unique in our experience and we congratulate them on truly putting guests first. We stayed in three Postcard hotels on our trip and they arranged complimentary transfers between them which was a nice touch. Our stay was sadly all to short and we would love to return for longer one day. Highly recommended.
