The location of Olive Brook along with the hospitality of its staff and their excellent services all together make this an awesome place. We stayed in the eve's cottage which gave a lovely view of the whole area right from the comfortable bed. Vishnu is of great help here, always smiling and attending to each guest very patiently.

Breakfast and Dinner were both included and delicious - there was wifi and a business center, and it was in a good location. The view was gorgeous and the beds were comfy. The... More

Syayed here in Adam room in early April. Lovely clean room, no need for a/c as it was perfectly cool in the evenings. Vishnu was a brilliantly attentive host and took us on a great walk through the tea plantation just by the guest house on our first evening. Food was excellent.... and the cookery class on 2 of the... More

The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious. We were whisked off on a short walk to the tea plantations soon after we arrived, with a knowledgeable guide. The cooking demonstration each... More

Olive Brook is really nice: Friendly, large rooms, great food. The manager and staff are very helpful and do everything to make your stay nice. We were a little complicated, and they did everything to help the situation. I will definately recommend this place. The only (little) minus is that the view is destroyed by a very ugly blue hotel...

Olive Brook is small, with simple, very clean rooms, surrounded by a lovely garden, overlooking gorgeous countryside outside of Munnar. You will need a car or a tuk-tuk if you want to visit anywhere or go into Munnar.The staff are charming and very helpful, and every evening, the chef, Sudeesh, gives a cookery demonstration showing how to make one of...

This homestay formed part of our trip organised by Kerala Connections at the beginning of March 2012. It is situated overlooking a large valley covered with exotic hardwood trees and cardamom plants, with a tea plantation lower down the valley. The house itself is surrounded by its own colourful and well kept garden. We saw a giant Malabar squirrel on... More

We stayed here for four nights as part of a birdwatching trip. We enjoyed every minute. Large comfortable rooms, beautiful gardens, friendly staff. The food was the highlight of our trip. It was so, so good. Every single thing was home made, and we were invited into the kitchen every night to watch, ask and learn. Only five rooms so... More
