Bamboo Banks Farm in Masinagudi, Mudumalai

Bamboo Banks Farm is a property located in Masinagudi, about 9kms from Mudumalai National Park. This is quite an old property, but is well maintained.

We visited this resort in the month of May, 2009. They just have 4 cottages and quite some distance apart. Infact, its difficult to locate each of the cottages.

Accommodation is value for money. A cottage has a verandah and a decent sized room with double beds. It was priced at Rs. 2000/- when we visited it. The room has a lot of facilities like -
* Facility for making coffee & Tea, including crockery
* Fridge
* TV
* Bathroom has the standard toothpaste, powder, shampoo, sewing kit etc

There is ample space for kids to play. Kids will also enjoy seeing ducks, horses, cocks/hen.

The only let down is the food, in terms of pricing. Lunch & Dinner are charged at Rs. 200/- and Rs. 250/- per head respectively. But the quality of food is fine.

Reena’s Homestay in Madikeri

This homestay is in the heart of Madikeri Town. This is run by a lady by name Reena Devaiah and her husband. This is a big house (can call it a bungalow actually) with three huge rooms. The attached bathroom in the room that we stayed is almost the size of a bedroom along with a dress area. Food is prepared by Reena herself and is quite good. There are sufficient beds even if you have a big family.

The best part that we liked was the hygiene that was maintained. This was important for us since we have two small kids. The house is maintained very neat and the mattress, bed spreads and blankets are new and are of very good quality. No worry of bed bugs or dust etc.

The other highlight was the huge garden area. This is the place ideal for kids to play and you can park your car there during the night.

It is worth a stay out here and value for your money, if you want to do a lot of sight seeing within Coorg.
