Our stay at sri shakti residence was wonderful. The garden and the view of arunachalam hill from the terrace were truly stunning. The house owner, sugumar, is a friendly and approachable person, always just a phone call away for any issues or queries. They also arrange cab or auto services (on a chargeable basis) for local visits. The only downside is the need to travel 250 meters on a gravel road, which can become flooded with up to a foot of water during the rainy season. Additionally, being 5 kilometers from the main temple, some may find the location a bit isolated, and public transport is not available. However, considering the pros and the value for the price, these cons are easy to overlook.
