Garden Manor Homestay

We had opted for the deluxe room. Location is pretty isolated. Didn't find signboards. Had to take the caretakers help who was standing at the gate. View of the mountains from this location is good. Deluxe room was clean and well maintained. Cons: No campfire (we were informed it was forest dept mandate), limited drinking water, Ac isn't there and was not mentioned during booking, kitchen had gas burner but didn't see any induction cooker or gas cylinder, refrigerator had meat in the freezer (wasn't sure about the packed/expiry dates) a food quantity seemed a bit less but it was manageable. Pros: Well ventilated spacious room, nice furniture, glass sliding doors for unhindered view, in house food delivery (dinner/breakfast), 24*7 hot water, clean bathrooms with toiletries and clean towels, kitchen with lot of plates/glasses, lawn, greenery, garden chair, wooden bench and lot of plastic chairs for you to seat and bask in the sun and stare at the mountains and last but not least a pet cat who is very warm and friendly. Things to keep in mind drinking water seems to be an issue in Masinagudi. I was not able to find any RO water purifier. So get 5 liter jars/cans from market, market is bit far and it gets very dark and desolate at night so make sure you have medicines (first aids and basic medicines). ODODMOS/insect repellent if you want to spend some time outdoors post sunset. Mobile internet keeps fluctuating and there is no WiFi so make plans accordingly. Keep some fruits/snacks as a backup.

The Garden Manor Homestay location is very good and the property is wonderful for perfect weekend in the wild. Unfortunately there is only one caretaker for the huge property who is responsible for everything starting from cooking to managing cleanliness. The owner was really helpful at the beginning but started arguing when we said the checkout time as per mm t is 12 pm and wanted us to vacate earlier since other guests wanted to check-in early. Completely unacceptable behavior. Would not recommend anyone.

It was a very excellent place in the middle of the jungle area full of greenery. The caretaker was there for taking care of everything and he was a very supportive person, we had food which was expensive and we have got all the facilities except the kitchen. Though it was a 2 bedroom villa, a kitchen was available which was not in usable condition. I can recommend others.

If your looking for a good time away from all the hassles of the city, I recommend them. Would be great if they could add a few more preparations to their menu. The owner and care taker are very nice people. I would go back again.

An awesome rooms and exquisite furniture adds to the luxury of this cottage.

Very good view and the stay is superb

Very pleasant location and room was very nice and worthful.

Very peaceful and good hospitality

Mr. Anthony and his property are just the perfect getaway from your hectic schedule. I would continue giving them a full star rating. Food and accommodation perfect. Merry christmas!

Located in a isolated place, very good view of the mountains behind,

Beautiful location and clean rooms. As a Homestay it is perfect for group of friends and families. Food is good but expensive. A swimming pool was missed.

It was a good time spent with our family location was good and peaceful. I feel the food bill was high apart from that everything was comfortable I should appreciate Prakash for his service.
