It was good hospitality showed by Mr.Santhos and his family, the property was worth staying. It was calm place, located on the hills with plenty of trees and small stream passing in his property. We have enjoyed at the stream. The food was excellent. All put together it was a good place to stay. People who have their own vehicle... More

The run down: very beautiful renovated house, clean (all floors are marble), with stunning views of the surrounding hills and the lush farm with its towering trees going down the sloped backyard. Santosh is very nice and generous, and his meals (complete with fresh coconuts from the backyard!) were among the best we had in India, no kidding. The tour... More

Everyone advised that Homestay could end up in a disaster and we look the risk with ‘ The Shade, Munnar’. The reviews of ‘Trip Advisor’ and ratings come in handy. We arrived late ni 27/28 Oct. The owner Mr Santosh received us at 11.30 PM and offered coffee which was really welcome beginning. The morning made us fall in love... More

We stayed here for 2 days and we were aware that its far from the Main Munnar town, but still went ahead with the bookings.
