The location, the guy who handled our queries, and gave us breakfast - Ganesh were all absolutely brilliant. Loved the hospitality, cleanliness, size of our accommodation and facilities. Surrounding silver oak trees got us good winds. We would love to visit again.

The place is on the way to coorg, so get to the main town from this place will take you another 1 hour (approx) ride up the hill. This place is located amidst the coffee plantation, if you manage to visit this place during rainy season I think it will be a blissful site to stay. This is one wonderful place to plan your staycation, the caretaker - Mr.GANESH and their dog Shadow were our favorite.
In the night if you pay extra Rs.500 (it may vary) Mr.Ganesh will set up the fire place and they have dinner option with best home cooked food. It will be perfect to spend the night around the fire with your friends and some songs, listening to Mr. Ganesh's stories.

The location of the property is wonderful, quiet yet convenient. The villas are clean Beautiful location Feels like you are in your own estate. Cherry on the cake is Caretaker Ganesh who is always at call and very obliging. He is an asset for the property.
There is no AC in the villa which was not a problem for us since we were there during November. But during summers it may get a bit warm during nights. Since this is a homestay your choice of breakfast is limited, but being home cooked food we enjoyed it.

The location, the cleanliness and special mention for Ganesh - the caretaker of the stay.
The stay was absolutely wonderful! It was comfortable and very homely. Ganesh was always there with a smile and making conversation. He is a wonderful human being. The breakfast was excellent and the location good. To be able to see greenery and view of the estate is wonderful! Highly recommended.

Location-
The property is located on the highway and is well connected to Madikeri and all the tourist spots.
Hospitality
The care taker Ganesh sir is one of the nicest human beings I have ever come across. He caters to all your needs with a big smile on his face. He even helped us to plan our 2 days of sightseeing!
P.S- He makes amazing tea and coffee!!
Ambience
The cottages are surrounded by tall tress which makes the place so serene, peaceful and calm.
Also, you will get to see coffee plants!!
Food
Simple yet delicious!!!
They prepare lunch and dinner as well if you tell them beforehand. I bet you won’t feel like eating anywhere else after you eat the scrumptious food here!!!!
In a nutshell, everything was on point here!!!!

Our home stay was wonderful. It had a good ambiance and it was lovely to go on early morning walks. The food was fabulous and tasteful. Ganesh was very helpful and kind ,you can ask him for anything and he will oblige. The coffee there was to die for. They had a very sweet and playful dog called shadow. Though it could have more hammocks.

Ganesh was an incredible host first off, the property is located centrally and the property is calm and has a lot of activities! You could take a morning walk in the garden or sit listening to the sound of birds! The breakfast we had over there was the finest we had during our stay in Coorg, especially the coffee! Looking forward to visit again:)

Location was nice and it was a quiet and comfortable place for us to stay.
Couldn't try breakfast as we checked out early (by 7 am) . before breakfast could be prepared.
On weekdays they are unable to prepare dinner for 3 members and need at leat 5-6 members for this.
Number of bookings or guests can't be a criteria for serving dinner and I feel this is an improvement area.

The location and ambiance are the main points which attracts the property. The service is very good. Mr. Ganesh is so helpful.
One suggestion, if the cottages can be provided with the AC or at least ceiling fan.
