We went to this place as two families. The place is located well in the heart of the City. Raja's seat is quite nearby to this place. First thing you will notice is this homestay property is pretty compact. They have three rooms in all. One in the main house where the hosts stay and other two are part of... More

Very conveniently located, Gowri Nivas is a charming Coorgi home with the most gracious hosts. Even before I checked in, their warmth and attentiveness was evident when Muthu called to advise me about sightseeing and assistance with directions. The same level of attention continued throughout our stay. The cottage with its lush green garden, is very tastefully appointed with bright... More

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our home stay at Gowri Nivas for two nights. Although the property is a little difficult to find, the location was perfect for launching day trips in Madikeri, and Muthu and Bops were great hosts. We enjoyed talking with them and Bop's mother over breakfast and dinner and learning much more about the culture... More

Thats the uniique experience with Gowri Nivas. This is very high class homestay with homely atmosphere. Their service also fantastic. The location of the homestay is near bustand (Madikery). So, all tranport and market are easily available.

Mutthu & Bops make the stay really worthwhile and there was the cute little dachshund 'Tickles' (who unfortunately is no more) to play with. Bops went out of the way taking us to serene locations in the... More

Best home stay. Received good hospitality from the host. They were knowledgeable on places to visit in the town and offered many suggestions. Food was good and authentic. Peaceful location. Felt that the dinner and lunch which had to be paid for separately were bit over prized. But even if you opt to have food outside, the host can guide... More

We welcomed the peace and tranquility of the Gowri Nivas guesthouse and garden after a busy Mysore visit. Muthu's cooking was delectable and our family group with one 91-year-old Kansas woman, a Colorado sister, and a California couple had great conversations with the hosts, learning about India, cooking, religions and the Madikeri area. Bopannah was driving to his coffee estate... More
