We had a wonderful stay at this property this weekend (5/31-6/2). We had rented 2 rooms, one each for my parents & my family. Pros: 1. The property itself & the way it is nestled between arecanut plantations, & the young western ghats. Nary a soul in sight, nor streetlights after dark. 2. Hospitable house staff: Very eager to serve,... More

Staff were very friendly - would not invade your privacy , yet will take care of your needs. European style house - needs bit of stylish refurbishing and mosquito... More

The photos on the website do not reflect the actual reality, but the homestay is quite ok. Due to the existing power crisis in the state, the electricity supply is intermittent here. Be prepared for that and have your expectations accordingly. The place is looked after by a guy named Simon, a cook and a helper. This is a typical... More

The home stay isn't as clean as it is portrayed on the photos here. The parking space is very limited. The place is actually a very small farm house very near the now almost dried up Bhadra reserve forest. There are two rooms in the house which they rent out on a *sharing* basis. The daily stay is around Rs.... More

In response to this review, I would like to say that I am absolutely astounded by the accusations made by this client. I would like to clarify the following: 1) Our Homestay is a smoke free facility, which is strictly enforced. 2) The four guests in question are respectable IT professionals and did not smoke inside the house nor did...

The place is in a very serene location, surrounded by a myriad of trees. We were welcomed with a simple but superb lunch, which was perfect after an arduous drive. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The architecture has a slight European touch, which is exotic. It is easy to commute to all tourist spots from this homestay. As... More
