As the name suggests this place is HIDDEN from the hustle and bustle of city/town. Suraj the manager was friendly and helpful. Perfect 10 for the food that is served along with barbeque in the evening. Staff is friendly and at your service anytime. Perfect place to spend relaxing time with friends and family.

A perfect place to escape Bangalore and relax with your friends. We were very well taken care of by the staff at Hidden Valley.
Home cooked food throughout the day is awesome. I'd suggest coming in groups of 4 or more.

Recently I had a trip to Chikmaglur, with my husband and 2 kids. Had chosen the Hidden Valley resorts looking at some of the reviews on the internet and must say that was not dissapointed. Place is located inside a coffee estate and had enough to occupy the kids and us. Major plus for the kids was the small pond inside with a peddle boat which we could go in as many times and they will carry memories of this for a while. Suraj the manager was very helpful. Food was excellent and the cook was wonderfully attentive to the kids requirements. No airs about the place and we could be really comfortable. Hopefully the place retains these qualities and is not spoilt by the popularity that it seems to be getting. Only drawback if at all may be the location. As my husband said (and he was the one driving, so had to bear the pain of it), hidden valley is truly hidden. We reached somewhere around 10.00 pm in the night and had to spend about 20-25 mins to actually get to the place. Bigger signboards might just help.

We drove from Chennai to Belur, Halebedu during the second week of Jan 2012. We started on Jan 13th, had a overnight stay at Belur, saw the temples and then headed to Hidden Valley.

We reached the place on Jan 14th at 4 PM. The coffee estate in which the home stay is located is a serene place. The room that we got was to our choice - a small but cozy room. The estate manager Mr. Suraj and the caretaker Mr. Pappu ensured that our stay was memorable. Pappu is a fantabulous cook himself. We had more than our fair share to eat starting 5 PM on Jan 14th till 9 AM on Jan 16th when we checked.

The walk around the 30 acre coffee estate lined with coffee plants, pepper creepers and orange trees is relaxing and makes one forget the city life we are used to. The night sky is something that we city dwellers miss and that is something one can look forward to at the estate.

On the 15th we had few other guests joining us and Mr.Suraj organized Barbeques and campfire and we had a good time.

We will definitely visit Hidden Valley soon. Highly recommend this place for a serene home stay.
