1. This resort is ~20 kms away from the temple and is located far away causing inconvenience to people looking to go to places near the gokarna temple 2. While we were booking bamboo room for a family of 3 adults (me, my wife, my daughter 14 yrs) and 1 kid, it automatically moved me to choose 2 military tent. The last thing you might want to stay as a family is this tent. Tents were old, open to all sorts of insects crawling in to your rent at night. Even single traveller low on money will not stay in this. 3. doesn't show any pictures of this tent, so don't think that you can manage a night stay there. 4. There are hundreds of stay options available in gokarna, so if you don't see it ok, call some one, search in maps to get rooms from the hotels. You will never regret this decision. Only positive during my stay: the care taker and team are good. They considered our situation and converted our tent booking to tree house, which we felt safer for 1 night stay. We thank the care taker team for their consideration for our family and we were lucky that there was an available tree house accommodation that night. Or else, i would have simply gone somewhere else coz staying in that tent is never an option. I didn't get a response on the above request for more than 3 days so i ended up going to the resort and spoke to the team and managed to get tree house. Later that night i got a call from that they couldn't connect with the resort for my request.

Dear Mani Ramamoorthy,
Appreciate your kind feedback. But, most of the problems mentioned by you is to do with MMT. In spite of repetitive requests they hide actual tents pics so that customers generate business for them.
We at Nirvana Nature, are completely against family people staying in Tents which are meant for trekkers and drivers. But still MMT directly takes booking for tents. Apologies for the inconveniences caused. In fact, we have removed the tents category itself from MMT.
With regards to the distance from the temple, yes.. we are 9kms away ( Ferry route) and 38 kms away (By road). Guests who prefer secluded and magical place visit our premises. If you have only temple in mind then please do not book our property in future. If you are here for memorable experiences like Phytoplanktons, Nirvana Beach trek, Boating activities, Having Delicious food etc then only I request you to visit our place.
Thanks and Regards,
Sudhin!
