Our three-night stay at Mundax was undoubtedly a highlight of our honeymoon in Kerala. The location is delightfully low-key, with beguiling views down the valley, but close enough to Thekaddy to take advantage of the activities on offer there- however for a short-ish stay I would say that doing so isn’t really necessary. The accommodation is spacious, clean and has... more

All aspects of our stay at Mundax were rated excellent except the location as some may want to be in a busier spot. Not the case for our trip but it may have been too quiet for some. The highland areas can resemble the lake district in places but obviously with much better weather. Mathew and the staff are fabulous.... more

This is a proper homestay and Mathew (the host) has got it absolutely right. We would recommend Mundax to anyone who wants to be spoilt rotten, eat lovingly prepared food, visit Periyar/Thekkady without being stuck in Kumilly with all the other tourists, learn about Keralan life, chill out, do daily yoga classes (if that's your thing - Mathew's a great... more

Mundax Homestay was an idealic retreat for a couple of days from the busier parts of Kerala. Matthew was a wonderful host and the food was delicious and extremely plentiful. Had we stayed longer I'm not sure the plane would have been able to carry us home. The room was very large with excellent ensuite facilties and we were very... more

We stayed at Mundax for 2 nights this spring and it was great. The food is good and fresh prepared, the room is comfortable and spacious and Matthew is a warm and enthousiast host, more than willing to assist you in -e.g. booking an ayurvedic massage or another activity. We enjoyed it. Marc The Netherlands more

We arrived at Mundax on New Year’s Eve after an exciting drive up the mountains. We were on a family holiday with our 2 children aged 9 and 7 and received a very warm welcome followed by drinks and dinner with the other guests. A very enjoyable evening. We had booked one room for the family but Mathew arranged a... more

Mathew at Mundax is a very gracious host and his personal attention towards his guests is what impressed us most. We had a very comfortable and spotlessly clean room overlooking a newly planted hillside plantation. Situated in the town of Kuttikanam, this home is quiet and a peaceful distance away from the tourist hullaballoo that is Thekkady. We visited the... more

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Mundax Homestay Retreat - and the stay was perfect in every way. Matthew offered us a warm welcome and an hour later we had a wonderful Lunch together in his house. He offered us all his knowledges and connections in the Periyar area. We enjoyed a wonderful trip to Periyar National Park... more

We had a lovely stay on our way through the mountains. The place is new, very tidy and definitely the best standard we found in Kerala. It is situated between tea plantations with a fantastic view, but still very easy to get to. The rooms are large, bright and furnished modernly. We enjoyed the cosy silence after busy city days... more
