The built of the stay ( sustainable/ Eco friendly); it’s pristine location ( right on the banks of River Cauvery/Kaveri) ; the homely , authentic feel and food speaks volumes about the place and the couple who host.

Our focus was quality time and bonding….and we got to lot of birding in the morning, visited local sights in the day and star gazed at night! As dessert we played board games before sleeping of in cozy beds. Silence was broken only by the river sound through the night. Woke up in the morning with birds chirping and a fully equipped kitchen to make ourselves hot cup of coffee."
