We had a great time at Serenity. The view from the homestay is breath taking. During our stay at Serenity, we just didn't feel like leaving the place to visit other view points because you have enough to see from Serenity itself.
If you have a four wheeler and want to avoid the towns and crowds, this is the place to be.

For many who travel on holiday with checklists like "to visit", "to do" etc. and run around to complete the checklists, this place makes one stop, and be in the moment, absorb the serenity. You are on the top of the world (literally) & dont want to leave any time soon, At least not for ticking the checklist.
It is very rare to find a place situated in tea garden & yet within comfortable walking distance of Nilgiris(Forest) & pre Independence era dam. You can observe wild life if you are careful enough. The gentle smell of eucalyptus in the forest when there is gentle breeze is amazing.
The home is comfortable! The food is great! the hosts are affable! The surrounding, Beautiful!

Amazing place, a gated community on top of a hill surrounded by tea gardens. Fantastic hosts and awesome food. A perfect getaway for that quiet family vacation. The view is splendid, had awesome weather in July. You wake up to the chirping of birds, go for a 30 mins walk to the nearby Ralliah Dam. We spotted a giant squirrel and a herd of wild bisons. The kids loved the place especially the wooden attic and the dinner by the fireplace. 10 of us, 3 generations - had such a memorable stay. Thanks to Mandi and who owns the place and made sure our stay is very comfortable. Amazing food and hospitality - thanks to Aarif and Wahida. We will be back again to this hidden wonderland in the middle of tea gardens!!

I have been regularly travelling to the Nilgiris for the past ten years and Serenity, without a doubt, has been the best accommodation i have stayed in these hills. Serenity is perched on top of a hill in Bettati with a stunning view. The good experience with Serenity began from the first query posted to the host, Mandi. Response from Mandi was fast and accurate and i did not think twice before booking this property for our stay. The pricing is surprisingly economic for the all amenities on offer. I don't visit Nilgiris for sightseeing and would love to spend the entire day gazing at the stunning view/ read books or introspecting. Hence this place truly ticks all the boxes i expect from an accommodation in the Nilgiris
1. Far from town/ city
2. Stunning view
3. Excellent amenities
4. Excellent caretakers
5. Excellent host
6. Wildlife spotting
7. Delicious food
unlike my solo travels, this visit was a very important one because i was travelling with my parents and an extended family. Serenity was more than what i expected from this holiday and everyone in my family really enjoyed every bit of our stay there.
The Caretakers Arif and Waheeda deserve a special mention for being very polite and courteous during our stay. Waheeda served very delicious and simple food for our large group.
Mandi was very eager to host us and arranged everything well ahead of time. She took time out of her schedule to contact us several times though my mobile was out of coverage area.
I am already planning a long vacation at Serenity very soon.
Thank you Serenity
