Loved the location! The stay is perched on a rock overlooking a valley, surrounded by the forest. What we loved most was that it didn’t feel like an expensive, polished resort - it felt much more natural, simple, and homely. It had a charm that made us feel connected to the place rather than like we were just staying at a resort. Indulekha was a wonderful host and made the stay even more special by sharing stories about the place. The whole experience had such a warm, homely feel, with nice homemade breakfast. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Overall, it was a memorable stay!

The car park was spacious enough, though it felt a little tricky to navigate at first until we got used to it.

The view from the rooms were beautiful. Room were clean and spacious. The hostess Indulekha, was very warm. She prepared dinner for us the first day since we could not go back to the town. She even prepared nice Appam and egg curry for breakfast on our request on 1st Jan 2026. This property offers room heaters which is INR 500/day and Indulekha waived off the charge of 2 days which was really generous of her. She also arranged tickets for the Kathakali show for us. She was nice and helpful

However, the location is a bit of concern. It is on a hill with slightly rough roads and quite steep. It is nearly 750 to 800 meters downhill/uphill. Then we need to travel an extra few Kilometers to reach city centre for restaurants. This may be suitable for guests having their own vehicles but for ones like us without own vehicle, commuting is a challenge since it becomes difficult get an auto and each auto can take only 3 passengers and one way travel costs around 400 to 500 rupees. The property offers only breakfast and meals are only on demand and not a norm. We can buy meals which can be warmed later but kitchen usage for cooking is not allowed. So travelling down and up each day twice a day is a challenge adding a cost of nearly INR 1000 for each round trip.

Food was good

Everything was very good

The location of the property was beautiful. The host was friendly.

The 1st floor room where we ate one evening was bleak, no pictures or soft furnishings, it wasn’t homely.
