I received a warm welcome as soon as I reached the homestay. The host and the hostess, uncle Denver and aunty Debbie were extremely sweet. Me being a solo traveller experienced a home away from home at the homestay. The owners made sure of the fact that I was safe, secure, happy and helped during my entire stay. Love, love and only love here!!! Kudos to the owners and how they maintain the property. Clean rooms, proper facilities, hot water and just the best...

Kairali Palace Home Stay

A wonderful place to recover and discover the region.

Reviewed By Go50887571029

A well run and nicely situated real homestay. We found this place by accident and wanted to stay 3 or 4 days. In the end we stayed 7 days as the owner and his family are extremely helpful (good English helped a lot) and sympathetic. Our well renovated room to the backyard with a little private terrace was luminous and in the middle of trees and nice little houses. This was the cleanest room we ever had in India - also everything is thought of and at the same time the homestay stays simple. The owner helped us also to organise ayurvedic treatments and a visit of a spice plantation. Very good experience. The restaurant he recommended was one of the best we visited in India and we actually miss it. There’s a lot to see in Kumily and the homestay is well situated - close to the center and the park but far enough to stay quiet. This is one of the real homestays where you have the opportunity to keep contact with the welcoming family but at the same timothy advantage of staying calm. A very beautiful and authentic neighbourhood even if quite touristic. The price per night was very good. Absolutely recommendable and we hope to come back here. A place to recover and explore this beautiful region. Katharina

Mayapott Bungalow

… a stream, which meanders through the property, appears at one point and mysteriously vanishes at another point. No wonder the place is called “Mayapott” meaning ‘ the mystical point’ in Tamil language. Mayapott Plantation villa is a boutique home stay, built on a rock in the natural ambiance of 130 acres of cardamom estate; the greenery, birds & breeze, natural stream and excellent amenities invite travelers who seek peace and privacy along with rich activities such as trekking, plantation walks, honey bee farming, hiking, biking, bird watching, peaceful reading of their favorite book by the brook, learning and participating in the ethnic cooking. Apart from these activities one can enjoy the outdoor activities promoted and organized by the Kerala tourism such as, river rafting & trekking, boating, jungle safari.Mayapott is built around a huge rock, which was used as a resting point for hunters. Legend has it that the bonfire around which they rested was a safe refuge from the herd of wild elephants that raged the area. The rainforest canopy, the floor of which houses the cardamom plantation, provides the serene setting for Mayapott. A stream flows under the bridge that connects the two portions of the house, which is quite a delightful sight during the rains. The area also houses the huge pond that has been used as a storage tank for irrigating the plantation.A short while from Thekkady, the seat of the Periyar wildlife, yet far from anything that can disturb you….. So cut off that even a newspaper rarely reaches it; this home frees you to rejuvenate yourself in the deepest possible ways. This unique plantation hide-out features two fully furnished studio rooms(bed rooms) and one villa suite, a two bed spa, common dining area and fire place, a tea launch over the covered bridge ; and 130 acres of lush green cardamom plantation where privacy will be the password for nature lovers to relax, rejuvenate and refresh. And for honeymoon couples to get lost in their world of dreams, romance and playful mischief. Attached bath rooms have a natural ambience too. All the rooms have view of the plantation and the stream, complimented with music of the birds, aroma of cardamom, wild flowers and the list goes on…
