We had a large room on the first floor of the Keralan bungalow, with a lovely sitting out area on the veranda, overlooking the garden and coffee bushes. Our hosts were friendly and happy to chat. Meals were home cooked and fresh, and introduced us to several local delicacies, served in an attractive eating area. We visited Kanthampara waterfalls (Meenmuthy... More

We could spend only one night in the Tree Hut, though it was short time .. Its an amazing experience. Birds humming, bees sound in the night, no one to disturb other than the silent Breeze. It literally made me, wife and kid also feel as if we stayed on top of the tree in the dense forest. You should... More

When we arrived in the late afternoon, we were "upgraded" to the smaller of the two tree huts. This may be an upgrade for some people (the rate is certainly much higher) but we would have preferred the standard room - although staying in the tree hut was certainly an experience. We were not asked about our choice. At night,... More

The couple who own and manage this home-stay do everything they can to ensure you are comfortable and happy. I have stayed here on two occasions now and would happily do so again. The coffee, not surprisingly for a coffee plantation, is truly excellent! The location is beautifully quiet and restful.

We spent our last couple of nights in India at Aranyakam. The treehut was amazing, making you feel like you're sleeping in the middle of a rainforest but with modern conveniences. The view from the porch is amazing and away from everything, in the middle of a 30 acre coffee and spice plantation. At night you truly see nothing but... More

We were only planning to stay one night here, but we were so enchanted by the beauty of the place that we returned for two more nights. The huts (we stayed one night in each) are perched on the edge of a steep hill within the coffee plantation, overlooking virgin rainforest and a mountain range. The main house has the... More

While working on a consultancy project in Kerala, I had the special experience of spending a weekend 'off' - enjoying the nurture and beauty of the rainforest and more particularly the nurture and enrichment of meeting Neema , Rajesh and family. Travelling solo I was adjusting to the changed diet, work schedule etc and cannot overexpress the family warmth, care... More

Great place to stay in a coffee plantation overlooking the rainforest. Amazing sounds and so very peaceful... We stayed here 2 nights in September 12 as we wanted to visit the wildlife sanctuary nearby. This is an amazing place with great hosts and fabulous food. We chose one of the huts and were upgraded to the bigger one (so cool)... More

We were 3 couples with kids (16mo, 2yo and 4mo). We typically prefer home-stays because you get a homely feel, and importantly having a kitchen around helps when traveling with kids. I had a mixed experience at this place. First the positives: The place is really good: it's a 30 acre property, with lots of coffee and spice plantations, and... More
