    Good resort to relax and enjoy

    girish b.group

    we went in a group of 2 families This resort is very beautiful. Nice natural views. A beautiful lake with boating and zipline over it. There is a natural stream where we took a dip. you can see pea cocks. There is facility for sports. The food was good. The facility is designed well . Only problem was that the staff is not well trained. They are okay but not professional like thos you see in star hotels. Minor delays with house keeping , hot water etc.. But they were resolved after calling a few times Overall the stay was good, though it's a bit over priced. we enjoyed cycling. Nature walk. This place is 30 km away from main site seeing places. Overal it was good experience

    It was a perfect getaway. A spontaneous booking, the owner even accommodated our midnight arrival. The property was lush with a lot of activities and fun things to do. It was secluded though, not recommended to travel after sundown. Overall a great experience.

    The place is amazing surrounded with coffee estates and in lap of nature. Hear peacock n birds chirping with loads of activities like ziplining, boating, camp fire, volley ball, cycles available. With indoor activities too. Staff is courteous and helpful. Property is well maintained. But it's 17 kms away from main city only unfavorable part. Rest the place is quite engaging

    Great stay

    rajendran.

    A good place to stay. Extremely happy with the food and service. It's inside a plantation so u will be doing small off-roading. But nothing like a big challenge. They some activities like zip line and boating, also a stream in the same compound. They will ask for our preferred food and the chef did a good job there.

    We stayed here for one night. Amenities provided were great. Only feedback is to have toiletries and get the washroom fixed. They should install mosquito nets as well.
