What was exceptional was the efforts taken by the hosts to put you at ease. Prabha and Murali have such a lot of stuff to talk about; so much... More

Devidasji, It was indeed a pleasant surprise to see your kind review after almost about 2 months since your visit to Sundara Mahal. I must say it was an enriching experience to have you, a well travelled man with chechi, Shri. Joseph and Anee. Thank you for visiting us. More

Had a great relaxing weekend at Sundara Mahal. Prabha and Murali were just like another family member and it felt like we knew them for many years. They made our stay very comfortable. The food was very homely and very tasty. Would highly recommend the homestay for vegetarian families.

You simply did not waste time posting a thoughtful review, Brinda. Thank you so much. You know we felt so good when your brother called us up wanting to visit us. Two days wasn't enough to hold sweet Vibha and baby Diya. Thank you for bringing your parents along. Felt good to have elders around..:) More

Hi, We happened to stay in this lovely homestay in Wayanad. The hosts were excellent. We had all the comforts of a hotel yet it was a home. It was enjoyable spending time discussing with the hosts on various topics. An excellent place if you are looking for a place to relax with family. Regards, santosh
