One night in Gowri Nivas leaves you craving for more! Its hard to find a home that is six months old with a century old charm! Its clearly one of the most tastefully done up homes that combines tradition and and contemporary themes. Gowri Nivas exudes a warmth and charm thanks to Bops and Muthus wonderful aesthetics and lovely hospitality….the food was lip smacking too! Thanx again….. we’ll be back for sure!

Great and amazing friendliness. We stepped into Coorg to enjoy the place but we enjoyed more at Gowri Nivas than the outside. Good wood work, great interiors and cool collection of antiques. Muthu and Bopanna are the best kind of people we have ever seen. We came as guests and left as friends. Thank you and hope to meet you again……..

This was one of the best two days in 15 years of visiting India. The hospitality, warmth and kindness of our hosts, the beautiful house and the excellent food made it special. We loved our visit to the coffee plantation and the many interesting connections we had . We wish for Bops and Muthu all the very best in their enterprise and will definitely come again here and hopefully be Kodavas!

A few memorable moments of our short stay here: the cosy little cottage, the landscaping, the sumptuous tasty “vegetarian” breakfasts, the warmth of “Daisy” Chondamma and her innumerable recipes and stories, the raw adventurous spirit of Bopanna while he took us to the estate and the kayaking, the charming and pleasant hospitality of Muthamma and the agile and ebullient tickles…….. We wish you all the very best in life…..

Great place. Wish we could have stayed here for two weeks instead of the two days that we spent. The hospitality is top-class. The atmosphere is very homely. We rate it as one of the best homestays down South. “Bops” enthusiasm to make kids happy with the kayaking and coffee estate drive will remain in memory forever. The special Coorg Cuisine was lip smacking. We now have friends in Coorg.

Our first glimpse of this place was in the web site after a search for places
To stay in Coorg. As expected it was just like that and maybe more. Our stay was really wonderful and comfortable and we would look forward to coming back here and spending atleast a week here. I would like to add and compliment for your fine taste and excellent hospitality. Thank you both for making our stay really memorable.
