The Fern Residency is a solid choice for a solo stay. From there you can catch a local bus that heads toward the Satara Panchgani road and then a shared taxi to Marleshwar; the ride is about 45 minutes and costs under ₹200. The 3 star rating keeps rates down while the hotel’s clean rooms and free Wi Fi are handy for a quick overnight. If you prefer a more upscale vibe but still want a short drive, the 4 star Evershine Resort in Mahabaleshwar is only about 49 km away and offers a shuttle to the temple on request.
