Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Thekkady

This was the outstanding homestay in our two month trip to India. The location was absolutely superb – both our room with its floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the beautiful green valley or our private outside terrace with the same views, or the rooftop terrace where we could watch the Sun rising on the mountains or setting behind them (where we did our morning exercise): all were truly magnificent. The location was a far enough away from Munnar (and the main road) so that it was peaceful but close enough to be convenient for all the activities there. Everywhere was truly spotless, bedlinen changed every couple of days, and filtered water freely available. Best of all was the delightfully homely atmosphere created by Telna, Reni and all of the other family and staff who were extremely friendly and very helpful. Reni, in particular, had masses of very helpful local knowledge and could organise brilliant trips and excursions and local transport. The local breakfasts were particularly delicious. I would very strongly recommend this homestay.

Our stay at Harvest Farm was the highlight of our trip to Kerala. The hosts were extremely accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. As we first arrived we were greeted with a necklace made of flowers and fresh coconut! The farm is so unique unlike any place I had traveled before. They have an impressive assortment of plants and animals and our host Kurian was happy to explain each one and how he is raising them all in an organic fashion that is good for our environment and consumption. In the evening we were served an incredible local spread of food made from the produce right from the farm! So incredible. I highly recommend a visit. Also it is very close to the Elephant Junction!

Die Gastgeber waren sehr lieb und freundlich. Sie haben mir direkt am Tag der Ankunft Empfehlungen gegeben und mir Möglichkeiten gegeben, direkt in das Abenteuer vor Ort zu stürzen. Dafür danke ich sehr! Ich habe den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und mich wie Zuhause gefühlt, worauf ich sehr viel Wert lege. Für Binkys Gastfreundschaft bin ich sehr dankbar und ich bedanke mich für die Tees und Kaffees, die sie mir liebevoll zubereitet hat. Ich kann die Unterkunft herzlichst empfehlen. Der Außenbereich ist wunderschön und gibt dem Aufenthalt eine besondere Note.

I stayed a total of 6 nights at Jaya's homestay. For me, the location is was ideal, as it was only a 20-30 minute walk/10 minute auto-rickshaw ride away from Kumily/Thekkady, but I was able to breathe in fresh air throughout the day and hear nothing but the sounds of nature. It was really interesting to see pepper being cultivated at their home. They also have cardamom and coffee plantations. Jaya's husband showed me the process of picking pepper from the plants and sun-drying the peppercorns. This was very interesting for me. The location and environment was ideal for me, as it enabled me to detox and also focus on some studying that I had to do. Communication was ok for me, as my mother tongue is similar to their language, so I could get by. However, those who can only speak English may find some difficulty in communicating exactly what you want. Having said that, their hospitality was really good - I never felt hungry or thirsty during my stay, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. The home is situated up a hill, and the walk from the road to the house is quite steep, so keep this in mind, especially if you find it difficult to walk up steep slopes. Overall, I had a wonderful stay here!

The location was superb! . A completely serene place with only sounds of chirping of birds in a lash green surroundings and aroma of tea plants. In the evening, clouds come down to meet you at your door step. They offered good homely food. Sreejith and his team of ever-smiling staffs were amazing! They took excellent care of us! The owner of this plantation stay Mr. Rajesh has been a wonderful host!

Nice experience. Vinayakan is an asset to Airbnb. He has a great knowledge about the tourism in Ramakalmedu. An referring him as the best host in Idukki. Thanks and Regards Fazel T Ibrahim

John’s solitude is a great place to stay! the hosts are very warm! Vinod is an amazing manager and is available to help out of the way always. The helping staff are kind and available all around. The place was very clean and this is one of the few bnb’s I have been to with breakfast! Must stay if you are heading to Munnar. They have sufficient parking and approachable to various spots. And Varsha- the host, made us feel just at home❤️

I had a wonderful stay at Ashin's cottage in Munnar! From the start, Ashin's warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The cottage is peaceful, serene, and perfectly located, with easy access to Munnar's attractions like Gap Road and the town itself. The road is in great condition, making travel hassle-free. The home-cooked meals by Ashin’s mother were a true highlight—delicious, fresh, and made with locally grown ingredients. We also enjoyed a plantation walk, where Ashin shared fascinating insights into local spices and farming, which was definitely worth the extra cost. The entire experience was memorable—peaceful surroundings, warm family hospitality, and authentic local cuisine. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, this place is safe, comfortable, and perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend staying here for a unique, peaceful retreat in Munnar!

After a couple of long hot weeks on the western part of Kerala, I felt I really needed to cool down in ‘The Shade’ for a couple of days. And what a beautiful location to do so! I’m sure there’s a lot of activities to do in the area, but I just took all the time to relax on the balcony with the most stunning view and took a good walk just one day. The property is relatively off the grid, but for me that was exactly the purpose. Sandosh was most humble and accommodating and his wife Maya cooks the very best local cuisine. Oh my Shiva! Really, what a soul warming food comes out of that kitchen each and every time! The room and adjacent were very spacious, the bed comfy, and a lot of care is taken for details. Like the complimentary items and how the food was served. I felt like a king!
