I had a short stay of 3 days at kalyan cool homestay and i had a pleasant and memorable stay at homestay. The property includes 35 acres of coffee plantation and the owner and his cottage are in the middle of this lush green plantation. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it was a perfect outing for us coming from bangalore. The property includes a swimming pool, garden, badminton, and basketball play areas which are well maintained. The individual family cottages are also very well maintained, lit by natural lighting. Last, but not least, the owners mr girish and his family are very hospitable and welcoming. They attended to all our needs during the stay. I highly recommend his homestay if you are visiting chikmagalur.
