Mankulam : locations de vacances

We had an amazing time at this peaceful homestay. It was truly as described, surrounded by beautiful nature. We were well looked after by our caretakers Arun, Shinto and Ajith. This felt like a real added luxury. They catered to our every need, including organising a car and tour of Vagamon. Special thanks to Arun for sourcing some jackfruit for us and his mum for making a delicious jackfruit vegetable dish! Our 10-month old was gobbling it up straight from the serving bowl! The pool was inviting and refreshing, also naturally shaded by some trees which was perfect for the kids. Minor point but there was no high chair- these were surprisingly hard to come by generally during our travels in Kerala! There were also a fair few mosquitoes so would recommend good repellent, the homestay did provide a couple of plug in ones, but probably need more and some coils for outdoors as well. All in all a lovely stay and very memorable experience, thanks for hosting us.

Cottage and surroundings are pretty nice. Only drawback is ,gound good restaurant found after 6,7 kms . The care taker was so helpful . And he made us so comfortable

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home and making my stay so comfortable and enjoyable! I truly appreciated the warm hospitality, the cozy atmosphere. Your attention to detail and kindness made me feel right at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend your homestay to anyone visiting the area, and I hope to stay with you again in the future. Thank you once again for such a wonderful experience!

I will book this place again and again without a doubt. Great Hospitality by Abhilash and Gokul, made us feel at home. They went out of their way to make us comfortable in all ways. Extremely beautiful place. Hosts have built an amazing cozy space for visitors and the surroundings are equally beautiful. This was the most peaceful place i stayed in Kerela. Campfire and barbecue were cherry on the cake. Me and my friends throughly enjoyed the stay! I will come back soon 🥳

Caretaker was great and accommodating. Helped us order our dinner and also beer (: Really peacefully place. Can't hear traffic at all. Bed was comfy. Some things to note: There's no aircon but you don't need it at all. You will have to walk down a trail of stairs (mud and stone). So be prepared and best if you bring backpack instead of roller luggage. I had no issues with this. The bathroom does not have piped hot water. You will have to boil in the kettle they provide and have a bucket shower. I had no issues with this. Not much to eat or do there. Really just go and chill with your book or boardgames.

The Planter''s Foyer is in a magical place, Kamballikad. It is the result of friends and families coming together under the shared vision of natural building and nature based living. The architectural touches are just divine, from the use of natural materials like stone, wood and reclaimed stuff, to antique pieces and soulful stuff dotting everything - it is quite something- a class apart from the average concrete monstrosity put together usually in Kerala. We booked for two days and stayed on location the whole time. Making walks to find sunrise and sunset spots, to being served meals three times a day by the caretaker Shijo- which had its highlights: Idiappam, the pork curry, among many things. I loved the skylight in the bathrooms, the shade for the lamps, the wooden boxes for all electrical fixtures. The last stretch to the location is a task for the unseasoned driver, the cllimb is very steep and I struggled, but we could have utilised the caretaker's offer to drive up

The hosts' welcoming nature made the stay truly enjoyable. The property itself offered a wonderful retreat for the week. Every detail seemed thoughtfully considered, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. It was a pleasure to spend time in such a well-maintained and inviting space. This property provided a perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle, and was a great place to stay. The hosts, Midhun and Nandhini, are so cool and truly down-to-earth people.

We recently stayed at place located between Kochi and Munnar. With Kochi just an hour away and Munnar around two hours from the property. This makes it an ideal base for exploring both the city and the serene hill station. What truly stood out during our stay was the exceptional hospitality. The caretaker was incredibly friendly, always helpful, and readily available whenever we needed assistance. Their warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel completely at home. If you're looking for a peaceful and well-connected retreat with outstanding service, this is the place to be.
