We stayed there for 2 nights and loved every minute of it. We were made to feel so comfortable by our hosts that we slipped into calling our hostess Aunty in a short time. My children who are aged 6 & 4 yrs were running around the place and loved every moment of it. They are already planning when they will be going back there again. It was great to get homemade and delicious food. Overall it was a great experience....
We had spent 4N there and it was an really a memorable experience. Especially the hospitality by Mrs.Cavery ponnappa is wordless to say...you feel like you are visiting your relative. The amenties provided were good enough to enjoy and the food she prepared was something too different and was good. The nature lovers would can definetly consider tis to a good place to stay with. The stay is surrounded by a beautiful garden with variety of fruits and vegetables in their garden apart from cofee planations...Worth going again.
This home stay is far away from city traffic. If you want to spend some peaceful time in the vicinity of fresh natural air of 100 acre of Tea state, this is the right stop for you. If you are planning to visit in and around MadiKeri city this may not be the right choice, because it’s around 40 Km from madikeri city. Home stay has 3 guest rooms, a dining area, and Kitchen. Cocking facility is available. Owner is quite supporting and she showed us the coffee plantation and a little info about how they grow the coffee there. Best time to visit this home stay is Feb, when coffee beans are ripe and ready to be plucked out.
Victory Home, a picturepostcard homestead on a coffee plantation, belongs to Brig. (retd) Joe Ponappa and his spirited wife Jancy. Staying with them is not only a delightful exposition to the nittygritties of coffee production but a gastronomical adventure into Coorgi cuisine and culture as well. The brigadier even fished in the pond on his estate for our consumption, while Jancy busied herself at the traditional cooking range. She whipped up the local Kodava favourite, pork prepared in a Pandi curry with a breakfast of Kadambuttu, a ball shaped rice puttu and the mosy scrumptuous dosa anyone ever prepared for us at home. Taking in the aroma of Arabica coffee while sipping some on the porch of the Ponappa home, one can hear the trumpeting of a herd of elephants in the vicinity.…
We spent 3 days and 2 nights here and they have been one of the best times we had on any tour. Typical homestays we had seen till then were the minimilistic ones, but this is was indeed very different. It is truly like staying at home, very well decorated and complete with all the amenities you would need to feel comfortable. The differentiator, of course, is the hospitality by Mrs.Kaveri Ponappa....you feel like you are visiting your relative. You get coaxed to eat, try out new stuff and yes....there is loads of chatting as if you are catching up on old times. The home is tucked away from the main road and surrounded by lush greenery. Absolute peaceful environs help you unwind. We also would go for morning walks into their estate. If you love plants and flowers, which we do,…
