We needed a homestay close to kolukkumalai to view the sunrise as driving 1. 5hrs from munnar in the morning was not feasible, emmanuel homestay was well reviewed and i am happy to report that the reviews are right. The host is a kind chechi who booked a jeep for us to go to kolukkumalai, we were behind schedule and forgot to book the jeep, but the host did it and i appreciate her gesture the room and bathroom were clean, it even has a kitchen with a gas stove to heat water, there's cutlery too. Attached to the homestay is a small shop which makes bread omlette with sweetbread and tea, coffee etc. This homestay is the best for young groups and i am glad i chose this place!
