Our Story
Get to know The Native Place
Welcome to Native Place, where nature’s tranquility meets heartfelt hospitality. I’m Astrid Rao, and along with my husband Sanjay, we embarked on a journey to create this unique ecological retreat.
In the late 1990s, we discovered a barren land overlooking the serene Vadivali Lake, a blank canvas brimming with potential.
