Best home stay with good food .And it's the best place to relax and rejuvenate. But little expensive.

Good: A well maintained place. Best suitable for kids as there is ample place for them to play and is safe. The food is simple and delicious. Deep into the woods, it is a very quiet place and good for walk into the coffee plantation. Our kids enjoyed a lot.
Bad: there are many stray malnutrinioned cats and dogs around who are constantly coming to you begging for food. If your an animal lover it is a heartbreaking sight. We feel uncomfortable to eat when they are constantly begging. Either the property needs to feed them or make other arrangements. Secondly there was no provision of hot water. The staff used plastic to start campfire. The smoke was burning eyes and was not a pleasant experience.

Nice Place, but little inside. Good place for kids as there is enough place to play/run. Now on bad part Owner will meet you only to collect the cash Many stray dogs and cats roaming around the home-stay, Rooms and even in dinning area There is no hot water available, if needed we need to ask them 2 hr. in advance Bathrooms are average and bathroom windows are like normal room windows and with large plane glasses

I visited the place for the second time recently; my previous visit was in 2012. Nothing much has changed since then. The usual cook was on leave, and the others who took up the job during our stay weren't that good with cooking. The coffee, however, was excellent. But it was served with no accompaniment like biscuits or fritters. The reason we decided to stay here was because of its proximity to the lake. When it was time for campfire, the hosts kept giving excuses about timber being not available. The same went for heating water for bath. But luckily, we called the owner and she made the arrangements immediately. As it was time for dinner, they served us fritters, which would be far better if served with coffee. We had low expectations on the food as we had already tasted it once in the noon. Only the chicken kebabs tasted perfect. When it was time to sleep, we noticed that no changes had been made there either, despite the feedback all the way from 2015! The same problems existed- the beds were hard, the blankets were or the cheap kind, the charging sockets were placed so high making them impractical. Apart from that, a simple change like using warm lights instead of daylight LEDs could make a tremendous change in ambience. The hall has several lighting fixtures, but bulbs have been removed from them as well. Overall, it was an experience that wasn't really worth the price paid.

Everything was good but did not get a good response when we needed electricity as it was cut down due to falling of tree nearby. Food was literally the best one I ever tasted in any homestay and servicing was good as well.

Wont go there again!!
1.Not safe as they take money for separate cottage and when power goes off other people joins our private cottage without even being informed.
2.Generator wont work at night as per their rules nor give logs for fire. Struggles without light.
3. Open washrooms as all the washroom door locks wont work
4.Special thanks to Geetha Akka for shouting us for asking for our paid breakfast after our Mullayangiri trekking.
5. Wont pick calls late night if anything urgent, nobody to help in cottage
It's not always about money...it's about the attitude you own!!!U really have a beautiful homestay but a bad attitude and really bad staff except Krishna uncle!!
