ama Stays & Trails | Rare Earth Estate, Coorg

A relatively newly constructed homestay in an erstwhile coffee plantation, our vacation here was just perfect. With just three rooms and two cottages, this property was a perfect mix of privacy, quiet, aesthetics, and hospitality. The owners were very helpful in guiding us to the location, while the staff is cheerfully at hand, be it driving up the steep entrance incline of the property, taking into account your meal, the gardener taking your questions about the ample and vibrant kitchen garden, the ever forthcoming old family caretaker Shahid ji helping you with travel suggestions and distances, or the earthy aesthetics so thoughtfully put together to do up the place - it was a charm. The rooms are minimalist but warm and welcoming, while the washrooms are huge and neat. The decor seems to be inspired by traditional Tamil architectural styles. One suggestion - the lights are too dim and are a strain, whether to play the indoor games or to read. The overhanging lights are beautiful, but there should be options to switch on stronger lights in case one wants to read or play long duration board games.

I had taken two hours while choosing where to stay before I stumbled upon rare earth estate on MakeMyTrip, mostly with 5 star ratings. I booked it without a blink. That's a decision I don't regret as I have completed the trip. It was a blissful place to be in. The host Mrs Revathi is a genuinely gracious and kind person. We struck a chord instantly and I told her that for me it was like holidaying in my sister's place. She made it a point to personally serve breakfast to all the guests herself, offering a true home stay experience. The staff, Dhiraj and others too were efficient and caring. And the food. So sumptuous and homely. We got probably the best room to stay, overlooking the green garden. Unfortunately we were travelling to talk very so didn't have much time to enjoy the greenery. But next time and I learnt that they accept pets too, so our next trip will be with our GSD boy.

Overall the experience was good. But I feel it could have been improved a bit more. My recommendations: Take the guests to plantation visits. >>Wi fi password should be given when customers check in >>Some activities should be arranged inside the estate (like shooting, swimming, and similarly other activities) >>Food is very tasty but varieties are less. >>Approach road is bad, and very importantly need a sign board. The road from the approach road towards the estate has to be maintained well. Its bit tough for a normal sedan to climb. These are my recommendations.

We had a night's stay at this home stay and it is definitely one of the better home stay in Coorg. The hosts Revathi and Yogesh are extremely caring in nature and work tirelessly towards making your trip worry free. It does get a bit hot in the rooms so ac would help. We had lunch and breakfast and both were extremely tasty and home food like especially the chicken dish. The house has antique collection which is Worth going through.

Probably more than home stay it's a boutique ama Stays & Trails | Rare Earth Estate, Coorg. Limited rooms and limited guests. It's calm and beautiful, in the lap of nature. May be they can improve on the food. Room was tastefully decorated. Nice choice of furniture. Go for walks and drives all around and enjoy the beauty of coffee plantations.

This place is located amidst coffee estates. Beautiful, serene location. Had a great time here away from busy work life. Everything is so well organized. Delicious food, cleanliness maintained well. Great service. Ambiance adds the twist of retro look from authentic Karnataka style. Would like to visit again soon. Worth the penny.

A calm and serene place away from the crowded locales. Beautiful property, nice and courteous staff, and lovely food. Must visit.

Best homestay you can find. Authentic interiors. Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Great surrounding. Worth every penny.

This is a really beautiful house about 8-10 km from Madikeri. The house is in a really tranquil location and is manager by a great host who stays on the property. The cooks are available on the property and made really tasty food. Overall choose this place of you love to stay in a peaceful place.

Good traditional home stay with good food and service and the only negative point is food is a little bit expensive.

Great place in the natural environment, along with great hospitality, home style food. The resort infrastructure is well maintained. Highly recommended for offsite family group meet.

A home-stay built in an old fashion style with sloping Mangalore tiles, wooden pillars, doorways and period furniture. Food was like home cooked and very tasty. We had a lovely peaceful time just relaxing and being looked after by the helpful staff.

The place is well maintained and its designed based on the traditional theme. They have reused antique doors and furniture in order to support the conservation of natural resources. It's a very eco-friendly farm stay. Food was delicious and its located very close to Madikeri.

The staff was very courteous and warm. Hospitality was great and food was delicious. The interiors were very artistic. Place was very clean. We were also welcome to use the facilities of Taj Madikeri, since this property was a sister concern.

Stay at the this property was a great experience , the villa had an old world charm with a blend of modernity. Air conditioning at least in bed rooms would had made the stay even better

Relax. Clean rooms and great food.
