Kaveri Estate Bungalow

Madikeri, Kodagu, Karnataka

Kaveri Estate Bungalow

Four rooms on a working coffee estate, and a table the whole house eats at.

Kaveri Estate Bungalow

मेज़बान

My grandfather planted the first arabica on this slope in 1954 and the bungalow went up around the kitchen, which is still where everything happens. We are a working estate before we are anything else: the pulping runs through December, the pepper comes off the same trees that shade the coffee, and the day starts when the crop says it does.

Guests eat what the house eats, at one table, at the times the house eats. Kaveri cooks Kodava food — pandi curry, kadambuttu, the akki roti nobody outside Kodagu makes properly — and if you want to see how a bean becomes what is in your cup, walk down to the drying yard with Ganesh after breakfast.

We have four rooms and we do not take more than one group at a time in the monsoon, because the road below the estate floods and we would rather tell you honestly than strand you.

The Planter's Room

The Planter's Room

2 व्यक्तियों की क्षमता 320 sq ft

The original bedroom of the 1954 bungalow, at the front where the shutters open straight onto the coffee. The bed and the almirah are the ones my grandfather bought; the mattress is not. Mornings here start with the pulper running, which is either the best or the worst thing about the room depending on the month. Ask for this one in December, when the yard below is full.

Pepper Room

Pepper Room

2 व्यक्तियों की क्षमता 270 sq ft

Ground floor, opening onto the verandah where most of the day actually happens. Thick walls and a north aspect keep it cool right through April, which is the month people underestimate here. The pepper vines are on the shade trees directly outside. Easiest room for anyone who would rather not manage the stairs.

The Long Room

The Long Room

4 व्यक्तियों की क्षमता 430 sq ft

Above the kitchen, which is why it is the warm room on a wet night and the one families take. One double and two singles, with space left over. The window at the far end looks down the valley towards Madikeri, and on a clear evening you can see the lights come on. In the monsoon we let this room to one group with the rest of the house.

Madikeri, Kodagu, Karnataka

Madikeri, Kodagu, Karnataka के बारे में

Kodagu — Coorg — is the coffee district of Karnataka, a belt of estates between 900 and 1,500 m in the Western Ghats, about five hours from Bengaluru. It is one of the densest homestay regions in India, and almost all of them are working estates rather than resorts: the crop calendar sets the year, the monsoon between June and September is among the heaviest anywhere in the country, and the food is Kodava rather than generically south Indian.

Getting here 3 ways in

Nearest airport
Mangaluru (135 km) or Bengaluru (260 km).
Nearest rail
Mysuru, then two and a half hours by road.
By road
Bengaluru to Madikeri is about five hours on the Mysuru highway.

We are 12 km past Madikeri and the last stretch is estate road — send a message and we will meet you at the gate rather than let you find it in the dark.

When to come

Oct–Mar
The season: dry, clear, and the harvest running from late November.

The monsoon — heaviest in July, genuinely spectacular, and not for anyone who minds leeches or a flooded approach road.
Apr–May
Hot by Kodagu standards and very quiet.

मेहमानों का प्यार

मेहमानों की यादें

We ate every meal with the family. Kaveri's pandi curry is the reason we are going back in December.
Meera R. Bengaluru
Ganesh walked us through pulping and drying for two hours and never once made it feel like a tour.
Thomas H. Hamburg
One table, one dinner time, no menu. It is the whole point and it is wonderful.
Anita S. Chennai
Came in July and the road was as bad as they warned us. Worth it, but believe them about the monsoon.
