This is one of the BEST getaways to a quit and beautiful nature loving location you can get, away from the city life. A perfect stay! Me and friends loved it. This was my second time here and still can't get enough of it. Thank you Sharan this was like a paradise ❤

We had a great experience. I wished I could stay for two more days. It is totally eco-friendly. The waterfall, mountains, tea plantation and nature around makes this place more special. The staffs were excellent. Very helpful and food they make are amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to relax with nature around. Waiting for my next vacation to be back again. Thank you.

Jest to wyjątkowe miejsce: czyste powietrze i otoczenie; Brak pojazdów (ani dźwięki z nich); i gościnni gospodarze i personel. Kabiny są słodkie i wygodne. Jest czas, aby odpocząć i pomyśleć tutaj. Ponadto, mieliśmy kilka posiłków gotowanych dla nas i były świetne. Wysoce polecany.

Nous avons fait notre réservation @ Fuschia après avoir traversé de nombreux commentaires sur airbnb et il était en effet un bon choix pour des vacances en famille (7 adultes et 2 enfants). Fuschia est situé dans un endroit magnifique à couper le souffle près de Kotagiri où vous êtes réellement vivre dans le giron de la nature. A l'eau petit ruisseau / chute d'eau à distance et sa sonorité jaillissante, sans fin gazouillis des oiseaux, l'air frais et le temps agréable, genre de jamais-vu de belles fleurs et de plantes toutes les ajoute à un cadre unique et une expérience agréable. Les chambres sont confortables et son équipée avec tous les besoins de base. Et la surprise est que BSNL a une couverture décente dans ce domaine !! Ce court voyage a été une expérience spéciale puisque nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer et de boire avec Sharan, qui visite Kotagiri de temps en temps. Sharan a partagé ses expériences et son amour pour la nature au cours de notre feu de camp. alimentaire sur mesure qui est un must pour déguster, Ishwar, Baby & Sandhu ont pris soin de tous nos besoins pendant notre séjour de 2 nuits et un grand merci à chacun d'eux.

Ceci est le plus bel endroit où je sois allé. Au fond des champs de thé avec vue hypnotisante, loin de tout le monde -Ce lieu a une sensation unique que vous n'oublierez jamais. La nature est si charmant - vous pouvez sentir l'harmonie réelle. Sharan, Ishwar et bébé sont des gens très gentils. Le fait d'être là, vous en dit plus sur l'Inde réelle que toute autre chose dans notre voyage. Ishwar et bébé ont essayé de leur mieux et nous nous sommes sentis à l'aise ici. Il est un charmant petit chiot qui était doux, Bisons sont venus tous les matins, les gens des villages autour étaient heureux de nous accueillir et de nous parler un photos de maquillage. Il est étonnant ce que Sharan a réussi à accomplir - il a créé un petit paradis pour ceux qui cherchent à comprendre et sentir la vie de village authentique et apprécier la beauté de la nature. Pour résumer - c'est l'endroit est unique en son genre! Vous ne regretterez pas le choix de venir ici.

Sharan nous a donné les instructions d'arrivée spécifiques. Il a gentiment proposé de venir nous chercher à la gare routière en raison de la forte pluie dans la nuit. Nous avons appelé quand nous sommes arrivés à la gare de bus et il est venu nous chercher dans son SUV blanc. Kotagiri était à environ 45 minutes de route de Ooty. Bébé et Sandu nous attendaient au sommet de la colline pour nous aider avec nos bagages. Le sentier de la maison était glissante et ils portaient les valises sur leurs têtes. Nous étions reconnaissants d'avoir nos bottes et lampes de poche. Sharan nous a donné un tour de sa petite maison et nous avons eu des boissons et attendu pour la nourriture à cuire. Bébé et Sandu nous ont préparé tout un délicieux repas. Il y avait une abondance de fruits sur la table. Le lendemain, nous sommes allés à pied jusqu'à la colline quand il ne pleut pas et la piste était beaucoup plus facile. Nous avons marché tout autour et dit bonjour aux gens du village qui travaillent dans les champs de thé. Nous pouvions entendre et de voir une belle cascade à travers la vallée de notre chambre. le petit déjeuner, le déjeuner et le dîner des repas traditionnels indiens ont été préparés pour nous, à un prix bas (environ 600 roupies par personne et par jour pour le nettoyage, le shopping pour vous, la cuisine pour vous). Il pleuvait la plupart du temps, mais nous avons apprécié le calme de la nature et a passé la plupart de notre temps à lire et à écrire. Nous avons apprécié de passer du temps avec le bébé, son mari et sa fille Indu et Sandu. Ils nous ont tous aidés avec nos plans de voyage à la prochaine ville. Sharan était juste un phonecall loin et nous a gentiment aidé aussi. Nous recommandons cet Airbnb pour les amateurs d'aventure, les amateurs de la nature, des écrivains et des artistes. L'air était propre et fraîche, une merveilleuse pause de la vie urbaine en Inde.

It was a great experience for us. Food was really tasty. Real homely feeling. Staff was very humble. Extremely clean surroundings and room. Bathroom was beyond our expectations. Really clean which we haven't seen much anywhere else. Very quiet and scenic environment.

If you really love nature then you should stay at FUSCHIA. Our two day stay was simply awesome. Through this stay, I got to understand a little bit of sharan's passion for conservation of nature and also helping the local communities.

Siva's place is exactly what is shown in the listing. A Beautifull house with all amenities in the midst of mountains. The cafe undoubtedly is an essence to the place. Freshly baked brownies, muffins,sandwiches and a super cup of coffee.

One of the most surreal experiences of my life!! For those who seek solitude from the hustle and bustle of the city, KMR Villa is a dream come true.. Rachna is one of the most warm people I have met in a long long time.. She did everything possible to make sure our stay was comfortable.. And she s extremely helpful with her recommendations for local sightseeing. The house is breathtakingly beautiful.. and the view surrounding it..marvellous! Sip your hot coffee, read a book, or just stroll down to Catherine Falls (only about a few meters away).. and a day well spent! Would definitely recommend this place for people who want to explore places like Ooty.. although Kothagiri is far less commercialised and hence I chose this one! The Villa itself is also tastefully done up. extremely well kept.. and one wouldn't mind spending all day indoors. Highly endorse KMR Villa for its serene location, the house itself.. and of course.. Rachna:)

I have been travelling for a long time and have stayed in every kind of hotels, lodges, resorts a place can offer.. but this stay of ours at KNR VILLA just made me sit and write a review.(URL HIDDEN) PROS- 1. Awsome place. It has its own tea estate, self sustaining facility and the design of the house was just amazing.. no wastage of space or resources •2. The househelp and the caretaker are always there to help and provide for basic necessities, especially Mr. Shekhar( and he doesn't know hindi or english)(URL HIDDEN) CONS-1. A bit onthe interiors of Kotagiri.. i would suggest to reach there before sunset on your first visit.. thats it for cons.. i mean if like peace, quite, serenity and nature around you, this place is just perfect.(URL HIDDEN) HOST- Rachna is such a good natured and prompt host. She cares for you like you are her family.. she doesn't mind even if you call her up for trivial things loke coffee.. a special thanks to her parents too who are in united emirates.. even they ensured our safety and well being throughout the journey.(URL HIDDEN) I would definitely like to stay there again if and when i get the chance to visit

The place was fantastic right from the entrance all the way to kitchen and balcony. Views were amazing and the place felt very safe too. The caretakers were close-by and they were polite and ready to help. The kitchen had quite a lot of vessels and appliances to cook for a family of 6 comfortably. The place had a nice garden and lawn for kids to play. The games room with carromboard and other board games were useful too.

Rachna is the most darling host one could ask for. She made our stay at KMR Villa so memorable. She helped us plan our stay and extended guidance with the help of her manager Mr.Kripa in assuring ease of transport to and fro and around. Our stay at KMR was nothing short of bliss. The villa is surrounded by stunning scenery that steals your heart the minute you step in. It's literally living in the clouds. It instantly connects you with nature. The UPS of living there is the fresh air you get to breath and the fact that it is away from the hustle bustle of any town only adds to it. But it doesn't end there. The house too is very comfortable on the inside and well lit and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped with sufficient essentials for a decent meal. If you do not want to cook, they have an in-house cook Chandra, whom we've grown very fond of in our stay. Shekar and Chandra were kind enough to take care of all our needs with a smile on their face. :) I'd recommend you spend some time in the garden and the tea plantations around and your mornings in the first floor balcony. If you're visiting the place I'd recommend Mr. Thoufik, a suggestion from Rachna's Manager to drive you around the place. Catherine falls is a 2 mile walk away. Even if there's not much water, the way to the place offers stunning views of the valley around. We loved KMR Villa and I'd definitely go there again.

This place is for people who are looking out for runway from hustle bustle of the city. The view from all rooms of Villa is breathtaking beautiful. It situated at perfect distance from Ooty and Conoor(away from both towns and close towns). So basically it's just villa and nature when you here. Rachna is a sweetheart and she gives more than 100% to make you feel welcome and make sure you have everything you need. This place is not for people who are looking out for wild parties. It's more of place where you can enjoy peace and want to spend quality time together. Food and language can be slight problem bt if you know to cook you have all basic things (spices,oil etc )available and for others things you can get it fetched through the manager. If you don't want to cook then they have in house cook as well. The house is very well maintained and very beautiful and host is gem of a person. You can get back to for everything and anything.

KMR Villa is a beautiful and well maintained property located a few kilometres from Kotagiri Town. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and the scenery and privacy offered here is one of its key attractions. Surrounded by Tea Estate and with a beautiful view of the cloud covered mountains, the Villa was a perfect Getaway Paradise. Rachna, our host, was constantly in touch and made sure that all the arrangements were made before our arrival. The caretaker, Mr. Shekar catered to all our requests and was very helpful in arranging all our requirements. The house had all the required amenities, including a Kitchen, Games Room and a Sit-out area with a mesmerising view of the Nilgiri Mountains. Overall, we had an amazing time and would like to thank Team KMR Villa for an amazing stay.

Una maravilla de estancia en un barrio tranquilo, con impresionantes vistas de montañas cubiertas de niebla. La vista desde la villa está soplando mente! Rachna es un anfitrión muy amable y pacientemente respondió a todas mis preguntas mientras que la planificación para el viaje. El Sr. Kripa, el gerente de la propiedad, nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitábamos cuando estuvimos allí. Una escapada perfecta para una estancia relajada y serena. Mi familia disfrutó mucho de nuestra estancia allí durante 3 días. La casa es espaciosa y la cocina está surtida con ingredientes básicos a la vez (n Wi-Fi y también la señal de teléfono no es muy bueno para Airtel, pero que importa: P). Kodanad punto de vista es de aproximadamente 20 km de la casa, la nariz de delfín es de unos 30 kilómetros y es una visita obligada como se puede ver en la villa por el telescopio! Me encantaría volver allí en el futuro :)

A perfect weekend getaway surrounded fully by tea plantations. The view was really good. Place was clean and very well maintained. Manager and caretaker were really nice and helpful. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

As we finished our wonderful drive on the loop Road, we reached Poojas property a wonderful wood house cottage (dream house) Rooms were very clean and neat and have the view of tea plantation all around and fog covered mountains which is a bliss. Estate walk in the evening was very refreshing. NOTE- Please make sure that you buy/order all the provisions prior checkin Thank u Pooja for the wonderful hospitality.. Will visit again :-)

The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great time at this wonderful property. It is well maintained and the panoramic view of the surrounding tea estates and the mountains including the Dolphin’s nose is simply breathtaking. We had a good trek in the surrounding tea estates and spotted some bisons as well. The caretaker, Selvam, was always around to help us with anything we needed. We would love to stay here again the next time we visit Kotagiri.

Loved the place so much that we extended stay by a day. It is a lovely wooden duplex house with 2 bedroom, 1 common room, 3 bathrooms, functional kitchen, balcony in each room, garden in back, gazebo on the side and a breathtaking view of hills. It is a little offbeat but that is what we were exactly looking for. If you are planning to "cover" sightseeing places of Ooty and Coonoor from here then it is probably not the best choice for you. When you are here time stops and you will love it. We spent 2 days lazying around in balcony with tea in hand. Caretaker Selva is sweet, he will come to cook and to clean and leave you be. If you like to cook your food then house have a functional kitchen with cookware, masalas, oils etc. Selva can cook basic south Indian food and can get groceries as you need. Strongly recommend if you need a break and be closer to nature. My friends are already J of pics we clicked here :D

The log cabin is very warm and comfortable and has an amazing view, we were often in the middle of clouds. The caretaker, Mr. Selvan, knows only Tamil, so that's a bit tough. The location is beautiful, remote, conducive to long walks through the surrounding tea estates. It's very quiet and peaceful. The balcony has a breathtaking view, and we were often enveloped by clouds. We also saw a fawn in the neighbouring garden. Be careful with the shower, it's complicated and can scald you with really hot water as the caretaker does not know how to use it. There might have been bed bugs, as some of us had bite marks when we left. The house has naphthalene balls all around, including the kitchen making most of the utensils unusable. Please be careful before you use them. All in all, my family had a fabulous time at the cabin, we came back completely refreshed and rejuvenated.

Superbe séjour. Le fait que les cabines se trouvent à environ 500 mts de la route motorisée, caché au fond d'une vallée, l'a fait pour des vacances parfaitement sereines. Les soignants Baby et Sant Kumar nous ont fait sentir absolument à la maison et la nourriture qu'ils ont cuisinée pour le monde ... Donc, frais et savoureux, je ne peux pas croire que j'ai réaménagé la nourriture végétarienne pendant les vacances. C'est sur les 3 meilleurs séjours de tous les temps pour moi. Merci Fuschia

Read the reviews. Not a place for everyone. BUT If you fit in (city escape, home cooked food, ready for some trekk), definitely a place to visit. There is something for everyone who fits in and visits this place. If you like quiet surrounding, sit outside your rooms and enjoy the nature. If you like strolls, visit a nearby village, you will spot Bison herds. If you are into easy to middle trek, visit the nearby waterfall. If you want a 'Good', physically tasking trek, that's also there. Whatever is your choice, you will enjoy the scrumptious home cooked South Indian food after your activity. From "Baby's Kitchen". Oh yeah, the walk to and from the car park is a mini trek itself. Thanks again Sharan, Ishwar and the team for making our stay enjoyable.

Had a pleasant stay.... We missed Sharan's presence.... As usual baby akka's taste of food we are slaves... We drained while we reached there... Climate was freezing us.... Etta was so pleasing to help us dry (URL HIDDEN) was happy stay.... Love to come over again and again....

This is my second time staying here. Last July was my first experience with international travel, and Sharan went out of his way to make sure that, as a novice traveler from the United States, I had plenty of help, advice, and pointers. Since then, I've traveled a lot more, and this is the only place that made such a favorable impression on me that I HAD to come back. In fact, my original plan had been to wait a year to come back again, but I just couldn't wait, so I came back after 5 months. And I'll come back here this coming summer, as well. On this trip, I also met another guest who loves this place and has been here several times over the last three years. He confirmed that this place is special, and he is far more well-traveled than I am. The highlight of this place is the people who work so hard to make sure you feel comfortable and cared for. Plan to be delighted by the wonderful food that is prepared for you right on site. It was, in my opinion, the best food in all of India. The warm smiles on friendly faces make being on the other side of the world feel a little bit like being home, too. And the scenery is breathtaking. While there is much beauty to explore in the region, take some time just to sit on the veranda overlooking the valley and read a book. Hopefully, you'll catch a glimpse of the majestic Nilgiri Bison grazing among the tea plants on the mountain across the valley. It is hard to describe the incredible beauty. Another thought on my second trip is safety. As an American traveler, this is what many ask about. This place is outside the city and is nestled among some of the most peaceful, sweet, kind people I have run across in my life. I never locked my doors during my stays here, even when I was gone all day exploring the region on scooter (which you can rent in Ooty). Sharan, the host, is a delightful man, himself. He was so helpful to me, and I am glad to have met him at the beginning of my traveling career. When I first met him, I was so lost. I did not know anything about traveling. Because of his helpful advice, I've had the confidence to really adventure out. Especially if you are a Westerner and haven't traveled much, you should consider this stay. My first stay, I met a British family who said that this was among their favorite places they had been. Sharan's place is a wonderful way to experience life in India at a different pace from the big, busy cities. You really need at least two nights to enjoy this place, and I can tell you from experience that even a week is too short a time here. I've met travelers from India here, too, who seemed very happy...

Nous avons eu un séjour très agréable. Sharan était un hôte très accueillant. Les cuisiniers et les gardiens étaient très gentils. L'un des moments forts de notre séjour était d'être en mesure d'obtenir une connextion personnelle avec la plupart des gens qui vivaient dans le domaine. Dans l'ensemble, nous avons apprécié l'expérience beaucoup.

Quand j'ai choisi de rester à fuschia, j'étais très incertain de l'endroit ou les gens car il n'y avait pas beaucoup de photos de l'endroit sur Internet mais je dois dire que Fuschia était ma meilleure décision pour son anniversaire surprise :) Il est un bel endroit avec de belles personnes. Nous avons une chance de rencontrer de Sharan et prendre un verre avec lui. Ce fut la meilleure partie de notre séjour à fuschia. Caché dans un grand chalets de plantations de thé étaient plus que ce que nous attendions. Sharan et Eshwar m'a aidé surprise de planification d'anniversaire pour mon fiancé à Kotagiri. Sans oublier le bébé est un cuisinier incroyable. Elle prend en charge les visiteurs là comme une mère. Nous avons eu un séjour de 2 jours à fuschia et je suis sûr que nous allons visiter Kotagiri seulement pour rester à fuschia bientôt à nouveau :) Meilleure cuisine maison meilleur hôte Le meilleur endroit pour rester à animaux acceptés Et si vous arrivez à rencontrer Sharan et avoir avec lui un verre par le feu, alors vous êtes le chanceux :) Fuschia est pas un endroit .. c'est une expérience :)

I have had a super great stay in such a beautiful place - in the middle of the tea plantation - and flowers - several km out of Kotagiri. It was a relaxing moment and good break from the vibrant Indian cities.... Sharan who is the owner although not here made sure everything's fine during my stay and I am really thankful for this. Baby, Ischwar, Santa Kumar have been such a good interesting and fun company! I had really good times (walks in the tea plantation, rami etc etc ;) ) I know that several guests keep coming back and I can understand why... so see you maybe next time !

The room was well furnished, neat, and cozy. Our hosts (Santosh & Kavya) were more than hospitable and we were provided with delicious meals and snacks. The most amazing thing of all was the spectacular location of the guesthouse, which overlooks hills, valleys, and forests. I had the most satisfying yoga sessions on the spacious balcony that came with the room. The locals too were extremely helpful and friendly. Thanks Sharan for a heartwarming stay.

Very friendly hosts and a great comfortable cottage. And a delicious breakfast!

Estuvimos 3 parejas, con 6 perros y pasamos 4 días en silencio Woods. La propiedad es de gran belleza; una casa de campo de 4 dormitorios con césped, ubicado en un jardín de té. La casa en sí es limpio, bastante amplio y tiene, baños modernos básicos. Algunos más énfasis en la decoración de interiores realmente podría poner de manifiesto el potencial en la casa! Una desventaja es que la cocina es una habitación separada adjunta a la habitación donde el cuidador y su familia se quedan. Pero cuando estás en un entorno que es tan tranquilo y bonito, no es probable que pasar mucho tiempo en el interior o en la cocina! El cuidador es agradable y muy servicial. Su esposa cocina comidas básicas pero sabroso (un poco demasiado picante, aunque). En general, si el lujo significa serenidad, belleza escénica y exuberante césped en lugar de comida gourmet y jacuzzis, este es un gran lugar! Ah ya, y los perros tenían una explosión absoluta por lo que si usted está buscando para unas vacaciones de mascota, esto es algo que debe hacer ...

This is an absolutely gorgeous property - more beautiful than any I have seen in all of South India. We were a group of 12 including friends, parents and small kids and everyone had a wonderful time. The rooms are very comfortable and each has an attached bathroom. They have the facilities to take care of all your needs. Mr. Selva and his staff took great care of us. The food served was absolutely delicious and we overate on all meals :-) The best part is the sunrise over the surrounding tea gardens and the rolling hills. Highly recommended.

This property was a part of a scam run jointly by the host and Airbnb. The listing was classified as an "entire place" at the time of the booking and payment. I was thus expecting to have the entire property with 4 bedrooms as detailed in the listing. When we arrived, we were provided a double bedroom with an extra single cot. When I called the host and explained to him that there was some miscommunication from his end, he told me very gruffly that there was no misclassification as Airbnb had asked him to classify his property as an "entire place". It is interesting to note that the listing was changed to "private room" on Airbnb that very night. There was no communication from the host about anything more. He did not attempt to contact me even once during my stay. I spoke to the caretaker of the property and convinced him to provide us the adjacent bedroom. After much convincing, we were provided another twin bedroom on condition that we vacate it early next morning. So we had 2 bedrooms for 3 nights and 1 bedroom for a night instead of the 4 bedrooms for 4 nights that we had paid for. About cleanliness...the bathroom was possibly the cleanest part ! The room was abysmal with a dust covered headboard for the bed, cobwebs on the ceiling, stained linen and marks on the walls. Let us not even talk about the cheap plastic chairs and the tackiest furniture possible to be created in the the dining area. We know now why there is a single, carefully composed photograph of a bedroom on the Airbnb site. Appalling experience which killed the entire trip.

We spent a wonderful week in the middle of the tea plantation in the Nilagiris. The food was excellent and the people in charge awesome! The only drawback was there was no internet access.

Clean,Comfortable,Scenic,Well maintained,Good hospitality.

Un precioso bungalow en una plantación de té. Todo el mundo disfrutó de su estancia aquí. amplios dormitorios, espacios maravillosos que pueden acomodar a un gran grupo. Nuestros niños les encantó el lugar y tenía un gran momento.

Tranquil, located in a tea plantation in Kotagiri is the nicest and the most peaceful place we have ever stayed. The host was extremely welcoming and went above and beyond ways to make our stay pleasurable. The views are stunning, the surrounding nature is beautiful and the food was delicious. I would recommend to anyone who is looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city living looking for a few days is peace.

The place is as described very serene & beautiful. Well it's a bit away from ooty but for ppl who want a private time with family / friends it's a must go. Food was great & managed to get everything we asked for . The caretakers at the place are very accommodating. over all a great place .

The location is great, very clean, great view from the balcony, excellent food and warm hospitality from Mr. Senthil.

Amazing place to stay, the view from the place is beautiful and gives you the real feel of Ooty, great people; very friendly and quick responses to special needs. I have already recommended this place to many friends and relatives.

Dear Abhinandan, Wow what an amazing stay we had at your place......simply superb..... It was exactly the same as I saw in Airbnb.... Away from the city life, giving a beautiful experience of living on top of a cliff with good food served on your table amidst natural scenic view with all the sounds of nature.... Simply amazing!! I have already recommended your place to many of my relatives and Friends.....Abhinandan, you helped us in adjusting the change in schedule and very cooperative. Thanks for the hospitality Abhinandan!!! Wishing to come there for our next trip too:-) Thanks Ram and Seetha.

Каскад Meadows, несомненно, один из лучших свойств, к которым я был и один я определенно люблю посещать снова. Взгляды вокруг места действительно удивительные, и он вложен на небольшую вершине холма в окружении чайных плантаций и от всего городского безумия. Имущество находится в хорошем состоянии и расположение очень живописно и есть даже красивый водопад, который виден из свойства. Мы пошли туда, как группа из 14 ребят на велосипедах в рамках верховой поездки и хозяине Mr.Abhinandan, который сам природа энтузиаст, заставили нас чувствовать себя как дома. Место служит также для небольших групп и семей, так и есть даже отдельный корпус, где они создали костер для us.The хозяина призвал нас заранее, чтобы узнать о наших предпочтениях в еде и в доме едой они служили нам было свежим и хорошего качества. В целом очень хороший опыт пребывания в Каскадных Meadows и хотел бы предложить это место для коллег путешественников, ищущих спокойствие и спокойное место, чтобы расслабиться.

Place: The place is located between two valleys around 6KM from kothagiri. The views are breathtaking. Especially the Mettupalayam view during night. It is secluded and surrounded by tea estates which makes it even more special for someone looking for a silent place to take off their stress. Additionally, there was a beautiful waterfall which was around a kilometre walk from the place. Host: Mr. Ganesh was really helpful in every aspect from guiding us to the place, helping with local routes for sight seeing and preparing dinner. It felt like home during our stay. Food: This is the best part. The cook does an awesome job in preparing clean and tasty homemade food. The chicken dishes were amazing and mouth watering. I would highly recommend the place to everyone.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay here for 2 days. The place is picturesque. Everyone there would always greet you with a smile and are very cordial. Lovely place, which puts you in a relaxed frame of mind as soon as you step into the courtyard.

Great place, away from the city. It has beautiful views. A perfect place for a family vacation.

Scenic location. Good service. Abhinandan accommodated my room change request as I was not much pleased with the room on the back side. Thanks Abhinandan. Location is bit remote ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps will help in reaching there) and I think that made the place unique and peaceful.

Had a great experience & enjoyed our stays. Very pleasantly views on Morning sunshine & waterfall @evening. Cater service very tasty & worthy too. The caretaker is very friendly. Easy to communicate with host Mr. Abhi...

This is a beautiful place and very calm for family stay. The place enjoys a scenic view and overlooks amazing tea estates. It is also maintained very well and has comfortable beds. The food is very tasty and you are warmly welcome!

Incredible property. Beautiful, luxurious and remote. Basically the absolutely best stay you could have for this price. Period. Guru is a warm and accomodating host who made sure that our stay went perfectly. You can always pick his brain on how best spend your holidays there. Shankar is ever present to take care of all your needs. And then there was the food, mouth watering south Indian delicacies be it veg or non-vegetarian. This place will surely surpass even your highest expectations. Will definitely come again.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

It was a great time in here. The food is amazing. The view you get from the villa is mesmerising. It's like a home away from home where you'd love to stay. Will definitely visit again. I will recommend to anyone who want to have a peaceful time away from there hassle of city.

We had a good time at homestay.

The entire property is maintained very clean. Food prepared by caretakers are very good. Myself, being a bird enthusiast, felt myself very happy on seeing lots and lots of birds chirping away all day. Truly a home away from home. This is the place to relax the day away, surrounded by tea estates and breath taking views. The host and caretakers are very polite, nice and hospitable. Felt very peaceful and relaxed after staying for a day. Will definitely come again in future. A note to all visitors : It's always recommended to confirm the booking with host.

We had an overall good experience here. The house is located in very good location and had good facilities. Nisha was very considerate and would call us to know if there was anything needed. There were some glitches like the Wifi was not working when we were there. Also, one of the showers was not functional. But these were minor compared to the overall experience.

It was a nice house , located in very good location. Nisha was always reachable over phone , though we did not meet her . Everything was good except the camp fire arrangement .

Suitable for get-together of friends, families who plans to have a decent stay and with a cook who can prepare a decent meal to your choice, it would be complete package . Affordable pricing charged for camp-fire. There is carom board, better get your own coins and powder needed if you plan to use it. House is next to the Thanthanadu CSI church, but there are multiple CSI churches present in Kothagiri. So better get your (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map ready if you are first-timer or new to Kothagiri, else you would lose out time in searching for the house :) Property owner -Nisha and her parents were friendly to talk with.

Its been wonderful staying at MySpace. Eventhough didn't meet the host, the care takers were nice and received a warm welcome with a warm cup of coffee :) Amenities were as described and overall a good stay at a calm neighborhood

This was the best memorable trip with a great hospitality with every person in the house. The food was awesome and never tasted like that. Nisha supported in every possible way to make us comfortable without facing any hassle. Thanks a lot. Regards, Aditya.

Hi I am Mughill I want to tell you about this place.Kotagiri (My space) is the best place for summer tour.The whether is so awsome and the scenery are the best. A good place to stay with homely atmosphere. Good view. Value for money.

Tucked in green tea gardens of Kotagiri, Shawn's homestay is a very homely and exhilarating experience. We look forward to visit Kotagiri again and strongly recommend Shawn's homestay for corporates, friends and families to rewind, relax and for creative brainstorming. Do not forget to take the trek in Nilgiri mountains through the Pandava's temple at the mountain top and tea gardens. Highly recommended.

Away from main road, surrounded by tea gardens. The place is must visit if you are looking for peace and tranquillity . With lots of peaks to conquer, it's a paradise for trekkers with pleasant temperature. So, pack your trekking shoes, sun cream, (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)s to enjoy the nearby trek. The house is beautifully built with Stephen(Shawn's dad) experience in building homes. Soon after you admire the cosy and comfortable rooms with all basic amenities, one gets to taste the delicious home-made food cooked by Shawn's mother. The vegetables used in cooking are from their own organic farm . All in all, it was wonderful experience with such helpful and caring host. They even arranged us guide to go for local trek. It would be good if you travel by your own vehicle as the place is far from Kotagiri. Otherwise, you can book taxi for travelling to ooty and other places(URL HIDDEN)

This was our first visit to Kothagiri area (though we have visited Ooty/Coonoor many times in the past). This place still has the old world charm that existed almost 30 years ago. The homestay is away from typical commercial establishments and set in the midst of a tea estate with a nice view all around. The stay was very comfortable because the rooms were spacious and airy. Wonderful support and guidance from the super friendly family which runs this place. Shawn and his brother also guided us in terms of places to see nearby and helped us understand the environment better - about the animal movements in the area, about places which most tourists wouldn't find information from the web. Though my daughter is afraid of dogs, within a day, she was quite comfortable with Pax and Lucky! Don't forget to ask Shawn's dad, Stephen, to talk to you about the wonderful homes he has built across this region for the past two and half decades. Shawn himself is a wonderful photographer and both he and his brother are keen musicians while their mother excels at churning out great food! Ideal place to stay if you are looking for some peace and quiet and quality family time!

Nilgiris Calling is not a home stay. It's indeed a home. Within just a short span of 2 days, we felt we knew this family for so long. The connection and homely feeling that Shawn and his parents - Stephen uncle and Anupa aunty provide is beyond any price you can pay. Our kids were so naughty inside the house, but the hosts were so kind and adjusting to tolerate their behavior. Aunty cooks yummy food, we could not resist ourselves from overeating. And above all, location is superb. Set amidst the serene and quite surroundings of tea gardens, this is an awesome place to spend your holidays. I am sure I would like to go there again.

Worth for each penny, book it with out giving a thought

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. Mr Stephen and his family took great care of us. Beautiful home, delicious foods, sweet hosts and memorable stay. We highly recommend this place to others. Thank you!

Shawn's place is beautiful. Surrounded by tea gardens, the house offers a great view of the lush surroundings and paths to take walks. Shawn's parents Stephen and Anupa are excellent hosts. Stories of the area, Stephen's experience as a contractor in the region for decades, local and national politics, cultures and behaviours, lifestyles, entertainment and a bunch of other topics were covered, with my family speaking in Hindi and theirs in English. These were all genuine, affectionate conversations shared over Anupa's absolutely excellent cooking. Her food left us debating whether we should actually leave the house or just hang around eating and sleeping! They have two dogs on the property that are very friendly. They'll arrange for a taxi if you need to head out to Coonoor or Ooty. The guest house is split on two floor, has two bathrooms, four beds, a basic kitchen and is very comfortable. We watched a film in their main house which houses a projector, bean bags and lazy boys, and has wooden walls, floors and ceilings. Great space for film watching. Stephen took us out for a drive post dinner one night and we spotted some wild boars and rabbits by the road. My mother has a bad knee and she was with us on this trip along with my 6 year old nephew. This place is friendly for both the old and the young. I recommend it very highly!

Our very first home stay in India with Mr Stephen Jacob & family in Their abode Nilgiri Calling at Kotagiri turned out to be memorable. Clean home, simple choicest and variety food, friendly nature, knowledge about various topics so you can chat on, good travel tips, passion for cooking and serving with affection, a home with lots of antiques, we loved it.

One of the best places I've ever visited. Felt very relaxed and soothing. Very good communication from the office. Thanks for hosting us.

Shunyata is a beautiful house with a mesmerizing view of the Ellithorai valley. The house is extremely spacious, cozy and well maintained and is more beautiful than shown in the pictures. The host, Ayesha Sayani and the manager Radhika Hegde, are two amazing women who take care of all your needs before you reach and till you leave. Ayesha Ma'am was constantly in touch with us right from our pre-booking period till we left Shunyata. The description of the house and all amenities were provided upfront and in great detail. The caretakers, Razia Amma, Hammath Bhaiya and their daughter are really nice people who take complete care of everything you need and make sure you feel at home. The home-cooked breakfast and dinner served was really good. The highlight of the stay at Shunyata was the campfire in the patio and Razia Amma’s chai after a long and tiring day. We will definitely visit Shunyata again :-)

Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home between 22nd and 25th May 2015. We had the best time at your house with your ever accommodating cook and help. They did a great job in keeping things tidy and organized. The Board games were really great! In fact, we ended up not leaving your house our entire holiday! The views are stunning! Sitting out there, we thought, life could not get better than this! So thank you again for this lovely experience. We will be in touch shortly with another booking :)

This was one of the best home stays I have ever been to. It was amazingly beautiful and the weather was much better than the other local areas. The food cooked was really good by the house helps and all other important needs were taken care off. Thanks Ayesha, we loved your property, your antique furniture was a highlight. Would love to visit again!

One of a kind!!! Amazing views, great home. Minor irritants: overpriced food, tiny outdated TVs etc. 0verall: Highly recommended...

Beautiful house. On top of a hill - so spectacular view. Huge living area. Comfortable furniture and great art hanging on the walls.

Very good stay and experience. The best part of this place is the location. If you stay here, I dont think you need to go and see any other view point in Conoor or Ooty.

Had an amazing experience. The bungalow is located 9 kms from Coonoor on top of a hill and is surrounded by tea gardens. The approach road is a little ordinary and hard to find, going through a village but as soon as you climb up the hill, the landscape changes drastically. Amazing view of valley and tea gardens from the patio. Place was kept clean with all the basic amenities. Razia is an amazing cook and made awesome dinner and breakfast for us. Ralliah dam is at a walking distance and a must visit. We could have spent almost entire vacation at the Bunglow and in the surrounding area. It was welcome break from the overcrowded 'view-points' and markets in Coonoor and Ooty. All in all, it was a perfect vacation for us. Highly recommended.

Shunyata is truly a dream home in Coonoor. We enjoyed staying at the beautiful cottage with its breathtaking views. We were a group of 16 and there was more than enough room for all of us. We enjoyed our morning walks to the dam and relaxing at home as well. Thank you to everyone at Shunyata for taking care of our family and cooking wonderful meals for us. Razia and Hemaath are wonderful hosts and they were always there to take care of our needs. Please don't miss an opportunity to stay at ayesha's beautiful Shunyata.

Cozy, perfect to do nothing place, and surrounded by tea gardens, this cottage is perfect place to sit by fireplace, sip on whiskey and listen to retro music as it pours down outside. I'd love to visit here again!

It is a very awesome place to experience yourself...host Hema is very helpful in guiding the persons throughout the entire trip.

The cottage was very comfortable. The surroundings were also very beautiful and peaceful. The host was very courteous as well. Loved staying here.

A wonderful place to spend time with your loved one... It was a wonderful experience.. Hema is a great and helpful host

Wonderful

Our weekend exploration of the Nilgiris wouldn't have been complete without the stay at this lovely place. Sabrina aunty's warm conversations and suggestions kept us company through our visit. The room is cozy and inviting and the house is airy and thoughtfully decorated with knick-knacks that each have stories of their own. Much love to Sabrina aunty for this wonderful experience!

This is a pure homestay with no nonsense offerings- The home is located a bit off from the main city and so it's more of a relaxing place to catch up with yourself. With great in house cooked food, you li find yourself in the company of books, talks, and nature. Perfect for a couple with Kid. Thanks, Sabrina aunty for hosting us !!

The Kenilsworth cottage in Coonoor is one of the loveliest homestays that you would hope to find in the Ooty - Coonoor area. The tastefully decorated cottage and the room itself is the perfect place to stay, the hosts are one of the warmest and kindest people we have met during our travels, they let you be in peace, and are willing to help when you ask. The overall appeal of the place is endearing, classy and perfectly located in one of the best places in Coonoor. Right next door to the Highfield Tea estate, Sims park and lovely walks along the hills, we truly loved our stay at Kenilworth cottage. If there was a rating for homestay in the hills, I'd be giving this a 5/5 for the warm yummy food (make sure you request for a dinner service as well, it's paid but WORTH it) , peacefulness, location, prettiness and good vibes. Definitely coming back here again. Also, we traveled with our pet Labrador Retriever, and she just loved it. Travelling with pets and finding a stay is just PAINFUL, but this place is safe and your pet will truly love it. Just make sure you let the host know about your dog if you have one. Very happy with our stay here.

Onze gastheer gaf ons het gevoel thuis, voedden ons met geweldig eten, en ze is zo'n charmante bedrijf. En over de plaats zelf, haar dromerige. Gevuld met prachtige kunst, antieke meubels, veel boeken. Alles is smaakvol beschouwd en niets was niet op zijn plaats, perfect voor de foto.

If you ever want to experience a "night at a museum", this is it! The place, people and food were excellent. The house turned a home to us for two nights. Take your favourite book, and even if you don't have one, you Will find one here. If you don't like to read, you will have Munni's aunty' short stories to hear :) Special mention to the great host Munni aunty and the exceptional cook Ranima ( please request for chicken stew.. it's amazing!). Love and regards, Chutki and sunshine

We had a lovely stay at Kenilworth Cottages. A highly recommended place for those visiting Coonoor and looking for a quiet and quaint corner to relax. The old cottage is charming and feels like home. A special thanks to Munni aunty for making our stay so perfect with her warmth and chatter.

We were looking for a home-stay in Coonoor and came across this beautiful cottage. We immediately booked it. Experience: ============= This place is one of those places where you would go and settle down all cozy with a book and a cup of tea, if you like to relax and get a peace of mind from the screaming city chores, if you like to just feel at home and doze off into a deep slumber (like an Eskimo in Munni Aunty's words) Host and Food: ============= The host Munni Aunty was very warm and loving and boy oh boy , the food she and Ranima (aunty's maid) served were lip smacking and simply awesome. Do try out the Chicken Pulao and corn raita. About the Home: ============= The house is a reminiscent of British Colonial Era architecture, the interior is lovely with a touch of Parsi designing. If you love reading, then it has a plethora of books. Would surely recommend this place and try out. And we will be back again :) .

Het was een prachtige en oprechte verblijf in Coonoor. Sabrina was zo'n mooie en levendige gastheer. Bedankt voor het maken van onze korte reis onvergetelijk.

This is a nice cottage in the middle of tea plantations for a small family or group to spend couple of days. Not much to do there. Food can be pricey. Availability of drinking water can be an issue.

Awesome place to enjoy your vaccation, tucked away in middle of tea estate with great view, away from the city.

Amazing place to stay. Little inside. Check in before it gets dark as place is little interior. I would suggest park your vehicle at Shiva temple and ask dinesh to pick you up from there. As road is little bumpy closer to cottage. Otherwise everything is perfect. Good place to escape from city paced life. Recommended for family, friends and girl gang trip. Safe place to stay.

It's a nice place to spend quality family time. Nice and peaceful location away from the city.

Amazing place with scenic beauty around. Very quite and away from population. If you want piece of mind this is the place for you. Care taker was very helpful in guding us to the right location and other things. We went there with my family 4 adults n 1 infant. Just one suggestion for host/owner to make road till there property as its quite in state where driving is bit difficult.

Thanks a lot for setting up this place. It's amazing to live in the middle of a jungle. I have stayed with my family for a weekend and honestly I am so happy we found this place on AirBnB. First off, we arrived at sunset after a long day of travel from Bangalore. We didn’t arrange for the dinner and going out means travelling for another 20 kilometers to find a good restaurant. Dinesh our host was so kind and sorry for us that he went back into the kitchen and prepared dinner for us. He could not have been more kind and gracious. We felt special from the beginning to the end. Beautiful lobby with scenic views of tea plantations and dense jungle. Late night, you can even hear the sounds of wild animals – if you are lucky you can even spot some of them. The house itself is lovely and clean and tastefully appointed. Rooms and toilets were clean and well maintained. It has a pretty sort of greenhouse-like area you can sit in if you wish for breakfast that is sunny and delightful. The second day we did a village trekking which was guided by Dinesh & Preeti (Dinesh’s 3 year old daughter). We truly enjoyed walking the through the village and plantations. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment. The visit to a Waterfall on the end was a great way to end the trekking. Dinesh was a great host and guide. He went out of the way to ensure our overall experience was positive. Very few host proactively ensure the guests food preferences, stay & recreation expectations are accommodated. Preeti was the Queen of the palace. Only area of improvement would be relaying the last 500 meters stretch of the road leading upto the House.

We loved the wooden cabin styled interiors ...place is secluded and we preferred it to be away from crowded tourist places .. Caretaker Dinesh did a great job of hospitality...would recommend to my friends and if possible come back again myself ...

A very nice property in the midst of tea plantations. Go there if you want to spend some quiet family time. However pretty far from the city and any habitation so do not plan a sight seeing trip from there Cottage lives up to its billing in terms of comfort. Good quality home food is given. The on-site host is excellent and very helpful
