The most lovely stay we have had anywhere. The best hospitality, out of the world food and so much love. Missed Bops and Muthu but aunty did not let us feel it. My mother came back to Coorg after 73 years her father P.S.Padmanabhan renovated the Mercara palace in 1934- my mother wasn’t born then! So its been a great homecoming for her too!

Frankly speaking this the best vacation we have had till date. Right from the moment we came to Gowri Nivas , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Muthu and Bops are terrific couple and exactly know their job too well “taking care of guests or should I say friends”. End of the stay the guests leave with addition to their friends list “adding muthu & Bops” Thanks Muthu and Bops for making our stay a memorable one.

It was a “HOMESTAY” in the true sense of the word. The kids were as or probably more comfortable staying with ‘Bops Uncle’ and ‘Muthu aunty’. We met some wonderful people and connected with them so early. It felt like visiting relatives and enjoying a wedding celebration. Bops and Muthu are great hosts and there never was a dull moment with you guys. Best of luck.

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.

What a surprise from a young forward looking couple. Excellent hosts, preplanned items to meet the requirement of the young and old. A good P.R.O. for Coorg culture, history as well as about nature and environment of the place. We love to come again. God willing it will happen. The trip to the estate and local family is unforgettable . Thanks Bopanna and Muthu may God bless both of you with the best of everything.

Staying at Gowri Nivas was a new experience. Had been to Coorg several times but this was something different. Great stay within the heart of town. Once inside the room you feel so far away from town. Bops and Muthu are such good hosts. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

I really dont know the origin of the word "honey moon" but sure enough we did get to sample a lot of honey without basking in the moonlight. We couldnt have wished for a better way to begin our lives together. Bops and muthu hope you do advance bookings coz youve got one for May 2033 (25 yrs fro now). We had a blast, it was truly home away from home.
