We loved this place. Lovely spotless home on top of the owners organic spice plantation. We loved sitting out on the deck taking in the amazing view and we were served 3 delicious homecooked meals a day. Highlight was being shown around the spice plantation by Santhosh who explained all the plants to us and reaching the pretty stream at... More

We thought The Shade was delightful. The host is a quiet and reserved man but his English was good, understanding more than he spoke. As we got to know him and his lovely family, the more we liked them. (As is always the case). He, his wife and mother who were the cooks, were anxious to please. We especially enjoyed... More

We’d booked to stay at The Shade after reading the good reviews on Tripadvisor but I have to say, I soon began to think that we had booked a completely different place to the one described. We arrived at mid-day and our host was pleasant but apart from some Indian head nodding said very little to welcome us. We tried... More

Lovely homestay with an amazing view over a lush tropical valley. The rooms are simple but perfectly comfortable. WiFi is available. The food is reasonable. The location is great and the distance from Munnar is a good thing because unlike Munnar it's blissfully quiet! You'll need to arrange transport to visit the tea museum & 'top station' anyway and so... More

The location is stunning with amazing views, very quiet and nothing but local homes nearby. Couldn't be further from the uninteresting town of Munnar with its bland hotels. Very clean and modern rooms, communal area, and meals served in the family's dining room. What made this place so special was the host, Santos. He was only to happy to take... More

It was good hospitality showed by Mr.Santhos and his family, the property was worth staying. It was calm place, located on the hills with plenty of trees and small stream passing in his property. We have enjoyed at the stream. The food was excellent. All put together it was a good place to stay. People who have their own vehicle... More

The run down: very beautiful renovated house, clean (all floors are marble), with stunning views of the surrounding hills and the lush farm with its towering trees going down the sloped backyard. Santosh is very nice and generous, and his meals (complete with fresh coconuts from the backyard!) were among the best we had in India, no kidding. The tour... More
