Mane Malnad Farmstay

We had a lovely family stay surrounded by calm forest vibes, which made the whole experience refreshing. The caretaker and cook were incredibly warm and helpful throughout our visit. The food was the highlight — we enjoyed delicious fish fry, chicken fry, chicken gravy, rice, chapati, rasam, and an amazing flavoured rice that stood out. Their hospitality truly added a special touch to our trip.

Since the rooms were newly built, a bit of finishing work was still visible, and a few basic amenities like mosquito control and toothbrushes weren’t available yet. These are small things that can easily be improved as the property settles in.

Property was in decent location and calm with no disturbance. Enjoyed my stay with family.

1.The property was still under renovation or development, which made parking quite challenging. Construction materials were placed on the road and driveway, making it difficult both to park the vehicle and to take it out during departure. 2.There was a lack of privacy. The property consists of a single large hall, and all the windows did not have curtains. Even the bathroom had an uncovered window. We expected at least basic privacy, especially for changing clothes. 3.The bathroom did not have essential amenities such as a geyser, soap, toothbrush, or towels. Although a heater coil was available, it took a very long time to heat the water, causing inconvenience. As mentioned in the listing, there were no recreational activities available, which was disappointing for us. Communication with the caretaker was difficult, as they were unable to understand English, Hindi, or Kannada. The property is located in a remote area and has very limited options for food or nearby eateries. Overall, it was an average experience, and the hospitality and facilities could be improved.
