Kadumane Hills Resorts was the first getaway that my family took after the Covid lockdown. We, a family of four, stayed here from 26th-29th of September 2020.
This resort is tucked away and is nestled between beautiful green fields on one side and large vast open green spaces on the other. The property itself has lots of space to roam around with stunning views. They have an adventure area near the dining room that will keep the kiddos and adults alike happily occupied.
Don't miss the sunset views from the dining area! The dining area is clean and spacious. The food was also very good, especially their rasam is a must-try. The spread is good and food tasty. They introduced us to some of the local food with kori roti being my favorite! You can request them for additional eats, like omlettes for breakfast or those yummy fries for evening snack (in addition to what they offer) and they happily oblige.
The rooms are spacious with a nice porch that has great views of the fields below. The porch has nice seating space with table and chairs making for an ideal place to enjoy a laid back cup of coffee/tea! The rooms and bathrooms are clean. One drawback of the room is that they did not have cupboards/tables for luggage. But, on the other hand the space that has been saved by not having cupboards, helps accommodate more bedding. So, it can easily accommodate two additional single beds in a room. As we are in the outdoors, do expect the regular dose of insects.Remember we are in their habitat and enjoy them! Keep your porch lights on if you don't want them in your room!
Do note that the cottages lie a little below the dining area and there is a couple of minutes walk up to the dining area. If you are going with senior citizens do take this into account. They are building cottages near the dining area which may be ready by the time you visit, so do enquire with them if you want to be accommodated near the dining area.
Also, currently the car park is a little away from the resort. But they have a jeep that will take you from the parking area to the resort. There is only a kaccha road today but they are laying roads and maybe completed soon.
There is no Wi-fi on the property but the Airtlel data connectivity is excellent.
The staff are very courteous and accommodating. There are plenty of local attractions around the resort. Do talk to the manager (Deepak) to find out about them . We went to a waterfall, just a km away from the resort. We drove right up to the top of the waterfall! You can hike down as well if you don't mind the leeches!
We also went to a view point. This was the highlight of the trip for my 9 year old! A windy climb to the top of the hill had stunning and sweeping views of the valley below.
There was a lot of trepidation traveling in Covid times, but the staff had meticulously sanitized the rooms and common areas. Also, the places we visited (the waterfall and view point), it was just us and nobody else.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the place and would definitely love to go back with friends and family again.
