Having travelled to 8 cities across three states, and stayed only in homestays all throughout, I have a fair enough experience to judge homestays / homeowners, and Mr Venu comes out shining. The homestay, the coffee estate and Mr. Venu’s hospitality will redefine your homestay notions.
The homestay is newly built and the first time we visited the homestay, it didn’t even have a sign board. Getting to the homestay is extremely easy if you follow directions by the host diligently. The homestay is divided into two structures with a couple of rooms in the main building and a luxury room in another. The luxury room is perfect for those who want to pamper themselves with amenities such as two queen sized beds and a bath tub.
Mr. Venu is an absolutely delightful host. There could be times when he is not around at the homestay as his family is in Bangalore and he keeps on shuttling between these two homes. But, when he is not around, you would still be in good hands. His support staff is extremely helpful and cook delicious food too. Mr. Venu’s homestay scores big on amenities, location and hospitality, which is a rare combination.
