Accommodations in Srimangala

The location is so peaceful and relaxing. The coffee blossoms were in bloom even at the edge of the pool so it smelled better than any hotel we've ever stayed in. Every detail of the property is custom built for visual beauty and maximum comfort. Spotlessly clean, food is delicious and varied, and the pool/ loungers take it over the top. Radhika and Nicky are so warm and welcoming, they feel like your best friends right away. On the first night they asked when and where we wanted dinner. I answered that if they could join us, we'd eat any time that was convenient for them. What a memorable meal we had together with their daughter in the perfectly designed gazebo with a bonfire next to it. Can't wait to go back. And in fact that is exactly what we did the next weekend.

The room was spacious and airy as was the bathroom. There was a large deck overlooking the beautiful plantings from which we could hear and view birds all day. The restaurant is terrific - they seemed willing and able to prepare almost anything asked for - and the serving sizes enormous! Due to no fault of their own, safaris were banned in Karnataka and they are willing to drive you over the border to Kerala. We hope that government ban is soon lifted. Even without those, there were many opportunities to observe the flora and fauna with expert guides. It was a relaxing and delightful experience with ample staff and friendly guests who shared social time. The only caution is for anyone with physical disabilities: there is significant walking and stair climbing required to get around the property.

We stayed at CGH Earth Wild Walk in December with my parents, and it was a deeply memorable experience. What stayed with us most was not just the setting, but the people who gave the place its soul. From the start, it felt like a home away from home. Set within a coffee plantation and surrounded by forest, the property naturally slows you down. Afternoons were spent reading in the sun or quietly watching the forest come alive, almost like an ever-changing TV show. The rooms reflected understated elegance and were consistently well cared for. Sushir ensured everything was clean and spotless throughout our stay. The food, freshly prepared by Abishek and Akash, was comforting and full of flavour, very much like home cooking, my mum even took back a few recipes. Meals became moments to look forward to thanks to Satyaban, who served with such warmth and ease. My dad especially enjoyed practicing his Bengali with him, which added a lovely personal touch. Sharath, the naturalist and villa manager ran the place with quiet clarity and care. He took time to sit with the guests, share the most fascinating stories, and engage in unhurried, authentic conversations. He had deep knowledge of the surroundings, spending time with him felt educational and left you feel more connected the natural world around us. Prasad, also part of the villa management team, was always on the ball; proactive, super friendly, and consistently there to make sure everything ran smoothly. And a special mention to Motti Amma, who tended the grounds and brought fresh flowers each day; small gestures that meant a lot. The beauty of the forest paired with such thoughtful care made us feel truly looked after throughout. This stay reaffirmed the joy of choosing intimate, thoughtfully run spaces, and we’ll certainly be visiting another CGH Earth property again.

Wonderful cottages in the middle of lush green coffee plantations. Excellent hosts and awesome service. Very well Maintained 👌🏽

Wonderful stay at Nature Spot Cottages. The Host was very hospitable. He made us feel at home. The homely food was amazing. It was just a 1 day stay. Planning to visit again.
