I can’t say enough about this stay and the service. The manager, Lawrence, is an outstanding host and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. After we were all checked in and settled, Lawrence gave us a detailed WhatsApp message info about all the activities around the area. He also made sure we were driven to and picked up from where ever we needed to go for ZERO COST. The owner was actually the one driving us and him and his family were extremely kind. They fed us a good South Indian breakfast. This was also the quietest night of sleep we’ve had in India!

Beautiful bungalow in a plantation, this is a high quality stay where you can just relax in a nicely appointed room or walk the grounds to explore the various spice and fruit plants. A quiet location surrounded by greens, this is a great place to stay & relax. My room was spacious and nicely appointed with quality finishing, and with a nice balcony looking out to greens. Very nice home-cooked dinner, and breakfast was superb. The best accommodation of my India trip, they deserve their award as India’s best homestay.

The stay was in a prime location, with 2 beautiful rooms in a house that we had separate access to. The hosts were polite, and accommodating and they provided us with local Kerala special dishes on our request. Our stay was quite smooth with all the facilities.

Jobin, Binsi and their family were truly our dream hosts. They built a modern guest house behind their home and it’s clean, cozy, and filled with plants. The balconies and deck are ideal for hanging out on. There was a hanging chair swing that was perfect for reading and relaxing. We also did a cooking class in their kitchen and had so much fun learning how to make a variety of dishes, including chapati and dal. Jobin speaks perfect English which made the stay really smooth. Definitely try their breakfast—the dosa is one of the best we’ve had. Their house is just a 5 minute walk into town and we loved wandering and shopping in the spice and handicraft shops. Can’t recommend highly enough!

This property is an absolute gem and one of my favorite stays in India. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. Even the most basic rooms are incredibly spacious—more like a one-bedroom apartment—blending traditional charm with modern minimalism. The setting is breathtaking, nestled within a plantation where you wake up to birdsong and crickets. We even spotted deer during our stay! The staff are genuinely warm and attentive, making the experience feel personal and welcoming. Daily Ayurvedic massages added to the relaxation, and a highlight was the cooking class led by Chef Sibil, Arun, and their team, where we learned to make a fantastic Kerala fish curry. Akhila also gave us an insightful tour of the plantation, which made us appreciate the place even more. One of the unique touches here is the drinking water—it is harvested on-site and tastes incredibly fresh! The breakfast spread was exceptional, with perfectly prepared dishes, fragrant fruits, and fresh juices. We also tried the plantation’s coffee, a lovely light to medium-bodied brew. If you visit, do not miss their honey—it is outstanding! Food here is a true highlight. Some of my top recommendations are the All-Spice Chicken, Kerala Beef Coconut Fry, Banana Fritters, and Kerala Parotta. Everything was cooked to perfection. This place offers a rare balance—it is intimate and peaceful, yet has all the comforts of a high-end retreat. My favorite spot was the balcony, overlooking the lush greenery of the plantation—a perfect place to unwind. Smaller properties sometimes come with limitations, while larger ones can feel impersonal. This one is just right—private and exclusive, yet offering everything you could need for a perfect stay. Highly recommend!
