We stayed in the new cottage and absolutely loved it. Very nicely maintained and well equipped with all the basic facilities. The cottages over look the mountains, its mesmerizing. The resort is located at the foot of the hill and its very close to edakkal caves. Although the climb to edakkal caves is very steep but definitely worth the effort.... More

Right at the foot of the Edakkal Hill, this is most comfortably located resort if you are visiting the Edakkal Caves. Even otherwise, this is a place which you should not miss while visiting Wayanad. The rooms are good. I will not state they are some thing out of the ordinary. The rooms are neat, and service is good. But... More

We were a group of 6 friends. Lucky to have found this place right near the entrance to the edakkal caves. We rented 2 cabins, overlooking the mountains. We had an excellent freshly prepared meal by the kitchen staff in their restaurant set in the hills. In the morning, one of their staff members walked us up a steep hill... More

We stayed in Chauvet cottage, which together with Lascaux, has the best views across to the mountains, and sitting out in the afternoon, then watching the sunset was lovely. We visited the cave but it is a steep walk, then quite a climb up steps to see the prehistoric petroglyphs. Dinner was served in a magical candlelit cave and was... More

The Edakkal Hermitage resort is located very close to the Edakkal caves and for anyone visiting the caves this is a good place to stay. Although the resort is perched up on a hill the views are not that spectacular because of adjoining resorts/developements. The stay was comfortable and service was good. Food was average. The advantage of staying in... More
