Holiday rentals with a fire pit in South India

The place is perfect getaway from the hustle bustle of life providing ample space to relax, chill and enjoy the nature from close. The location is a private house and blessed with scenic Valley view. The property owner Mr Janak is a great host. The cook Alka prepares very delicious meals including typical Gujarati dishes. The caretaker Ankush is a great person, and always available for support during our stay. The place also provides opportunity for a good morning walk and or run without any traffic hinderance. The property is old but bed linen and baths are well maintained with hot water and cleanliness in and around. Eventually it was a great family time for us accommodating 10 people in one place. We had great fun in playing childhood games and run around the property.

I would say the property was simply amazing and outstanding. It's one of few best places that I have ever stayed. Great location and a warm and comfy stay. You must try this place, if you want to have a memorable stay at foothills of Nandi.

Bhavan’s home is just amazing. On the edge of a cliff, the views are something you can’t get enough of. It was raining almost all throughout my stay there but that added to the experience. In the middle of nowhere, this place is the best getaway! If you’re looking for a luxury stay with a lot of amenities, this might not be it. There’s good WiFi and a UPS. The house is very clean and beautiful. They also offer food included in the cost, and trust me, it’s amazing. Chandrashekar, the caretaker, is a gem of a person. He’s very helpful, at the door as soon as you need him, and extremely kind. There are a couple of good places around too, like waterfalls and hikes, to explore. Since it’s in the wilderness, you’ll not find any network, irregular electricity, no TV, a lot of bugs, and very windy. I’d say this is a perfect place to get lost. A place worth exploring for sure. You shouldn’t think twice and consider this place for your next stay.

The stay was absolutely perfect! It was booked last minute and our check in was super late. The caretaker was superb and was super responsive, as well as the manager. The only thing I would ask to be improved is a bit more privacy, especially while using the pool. Other than that everything was perfect!

A Great Place and really nice spot located, with a lovely ambience surrounded by nature. The place offers a peaceful and scenic vibe. Fully furnished and equipped kitchen. Refrigerator, Washing mchine and inverter backup make the home perfect place to stay. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement: There’s no in-house pantry service, so we had to rely entirely on outside food or have to cook on our own. Hari arranged food from his nearby hotel. Special thanks to Tamizh caretaker for managing everything. Insects & Ventilation: Since the property is nestled among dense trees, we encountered quite a few bugs, insects, and flying pests. While the sliding French doors added to the charm and ventilation, the absence of mosquito meshes was a drawback. Particularly need to have in Bathrooms. Installing them would greatly improve comfort without compromising the aesthetics. Looking forward to visit again this lovely Cocoa Cottage.

The place feels like heaven! The breathtaking views of the Kattery waterfall and the valley are the total showstoppers. The place is beautiful inside out. It feels like home. It was clean and well maintained with all the amenities. The care takers Mr. Suresh and his wife are very warm and welcoming. They were all ears to our demands and needs. They freshly prepared delicious homely food in front of our eyes, specially for us. Would definitely recommend this to all.

beautiful place...Lino the caretaker was very helpful and pro in making our stay worth the visit... loved the food ...near by walk to the waterfalls and wonderful surroundings... only thing is Google map location is not aqurate...it was the next street... however Lino guided us well and we have reached the location on time.. would love to visit next time too.

Awesome place to stay for small family groups. It had such a nice surrounding of lush green Nilgiris and tea plantations. Felt really good after spending 4 night stay here. Caretaker is also responsive and helpful. You can order from nearby restaurants and caretaker can also bring food from some local cooks. Will definitely recommend this place.

We had a nice stay with my family. The place is very comfortable stay and the host is quick to respond. The gym is excellent and there is a resident exercise physiologist on hand too. For a small fee they can also set up and help you follow a routing. This worked really well for my father, he was at the gym everyday. There is also a really nice view. The pool was kept very clean and we used it nearly everyday. The kitchen is fully equipped with excellent non-stick (healthy non-stick with no PIFA as I have at home) so we really liked this. There are a few excellent restaurants close by, great food, walking is possible but it really depends on you, but the roads to it may not be for everyone. But certainly excellent dining options. You can always order food to the apartment and it is very easy for delivery folks to find the place, so no issue there. Normally we stay in Colombo but this time we couldn't find a nice place, but this space turned out to be fantastic and served us well.

Great and clean stay!! Loved the view..

It was great! Thank you

Dev’s place is beautiful, clean and homely Perfect for a week stay

it was very pleasant stay with plenty of amenities going further I would like to suggest that Check in time has to be reduced to atleast 13:00...rest everything is upto the mark with Value for Money

This place is a nice homestay. The rooms were clean, the beds very comfortable and our landlord was a very nice lady. We had a very good breakfast in her dining room and this is an experience that you will not get at a normal hotel. Thank you Cecilia Cottage for the hospitality and also for the nice and interesting conversations we had.

The apartment is conveniently located close to all the amenities. The apartment was clean and modern with all the necessary facilities for a comfy stay. Chiran and his farther was able to ready the place on a very short notice and really thankful for that. Had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the place for a stay in Colombo.

very clean and well-equipped apartment... upstairs of a family living below very nice and discreet and present if needed... a unique air conditioning in the room which is paid for and is not reported as such. very close to the big traffic of the city and the sea, but far enough away to sleep properly!!

A Hidden Gem in Nature's Lap! My stay at this Airbnb nestled near the forest was nothing short of magical! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the soothing sounds of nature—the rustling of leaves, birds singing, and the crisp forest air. The location is perfect for anyone looking to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Propeller itself was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with all the amenities you could need. I especially loved the large windows that let in natural light and provided stunning views of the forest. Waking up to the serene sight of trees outside my window was an absolute treat. The host Malika was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that I had everything I needed throughout my stay. They also provided great recommendations for nearby spots to explore. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and can't wait to return!

Srinivas is very responsive and attends to queries immediately as well. The property was very clean and the care takers are very sweet people who take good care of us.

I had a wonderful stay at the villa with my friends. The property was exactly as depicted on the website—clean, spacious, and well-maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. A special mention goes to the caretaker, Pravin, who was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you once again.

It was a very pleasant stay so much so that we did not want to leave. Senthil and his family were very welcoming and friendly. Food was really homely and everything was very well taken care of. Didnt expect so many amenities in the middle of a forest ! Thank you senthil

The place was just amazing. It was so peaceful and loved the ambience. The Farm , animals and the plants everything were unique . Saw lots of plants which I have not even heard before . a very well maintained property. The caretaker was very good and also assisted with any help or questions.

Peaceful, Clean, Simple, Clutter free, Homely Waking up to birds in the morning and going to bed after looking at the starry sky has been an experience that will stay with us for a really long time. Soochipara waterfall is really close and so are some of the entertainment spots. In house kitchen is outstanding, we really enjoyed food, hospitality and the fast service. Mr Ansar does his job perfectly and knows about the local spots which is really helpful in planning the day.

We had a wonderful stay at the resort, thanks to our amazing host, Iona. She was incredibly helpful and kind, assisting us in planning our days and ensuring we felt welcome. The food was freshly prepared from a homemade kitchen, adding a delightful touch to our experience. The location was easy to find, and Iona made sure everything was smooth. Meeting her lovely family was a pleasure, and relaxing in the cool cabin provided the perfect escape from the heat. Overall, it was a pleasant and memorable stay.

Our stay at the farmhouse was absolutely wonderful! Tucked away in lush greenery, it was the perfect escape from the city. The house itself was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained — with charming rustic touches that made it feel like home. We woke up to the sound of birds and enjoyed our morning coffee while taking in the peaceful view of the surrounding nature. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Whether you’re looking to relax, read a book in the shade, or take a walk through the nearby trails, this is the ideal spot to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene and refreshing getaway. We’d love to come back again!
