Our Tea Sanctuary experience was definitely not what we expected - it was better and worse in equal measure! We had thought that the different Tea Sanctuary bungalows would be close to each other, with some sort of central reception building, but our bungalow was completely isolated and information was hard to come by! While this was a bit unsettling... More

It's probably the cheaper of the many tea estates that offered accommodation. The European style house was manned by a team of housekeepers. The room was indeed very large for me a solo traveller, which came with a large bedroom and sitting room, a dress-up room and a shower/toilet. The place was indeed filled with old-world charm and therefore in... More

The Tea Sanctury bungalows must be the best places to stay in Munnar if you want beautiful views of the plantations and personal service. Booking is easy with the very helpful Mr. Dharmaraj. Four of us had Chokanad to ourselves for 3 glorious days relaxing in the lovely garden and walking in the plantation. Eighty year old caretaker and chef... More

First the booking, I booked the Tea Sanctuary at the last minute through phonw when my other booking at Munnar fell through. The manager Mr. Dharmaraj was very helpful and though I had only a confirmation sms from him, we kept in touch via phone, and when we reached the bungalow the caretaker and his helper were already waiting for...

I visited Munnar in the first week of January 2013, and the experience was breathtaking. No, I dont mean the drive from Ernakulam, that is an incredibly slow 5 hour ordeal over narrow bad roads. And not Munnar town either that is full of smoky noisy vehicles. I mean The Tea Sanctuary in the middle of a tea estate owned... More

We enjoyed a two nights stay in KDHP R&D bungalow which is one of the few 2 bedroom bungalows here in tea plantation. This was just right for a party of 4 instead of opting for a room bungalow and having to share the bungalow with strangers. First the pros - - The location. Dont even bother to stay in... More

It is a luxury to stay in these bunglows. We stayed at Sevenmallay bunglow. Raja was our man there and he took great care of us. Excellent tea he served and the food was amazing too. There is no comparison to any of the available resorts in Munnar. Imagine staying in a tea estate with the whole area for yourself.... More
