I stayed at melvins home stay for two days and it was a wonderful experience for me. I like to stay his home stay only because of the beautiful location. The tea estate in front of his house is a special attraction for me. The breeze and the beautiful wind at his place is a highlights for this home stay.

Nestled among tea, coffee and cardamom plantations, Melvins Homestay is a real paradise. Perfect place to unwind....far away from hustle bustle of a city. We enjoyed our new year party at a campfire in the farm. Relished authentic Kerala food...veg and all varieties of non-veg. Melvin managed a local brew for me, which was indeed heady. Melvins family is very... More

In simple words, 3 days of stay at Melvins was awesome. The gesture shown by the hosts was very generous and polite. I can't forget the taste of the Mango wine and the bonefire, reminds me of "into the wild".

We stayed at Melvin's home stay for 3 days and 2 nights and it was amazing. The companionship he provides, and all the help he does is too good to be true. I had read all the reviews before going there, but I have to admit that the experience was way above my expectations (which in itself was high). He... More
