We stayed in this home stay during May 2015.
Chikmagalur as such doesn’t have much attractions, So its very important that you select a nice place to stay.
Without a second thought, I would say Thippanahalli home stay will definitely be an ideal place.
Starting from the way the owners greet the guests, everything in this homestay is pleasing.
PROS:
- Courteous staff
- Very neat and clean place
- They take you for a walk in their coffee plantations, which would be a new experience
- Kent & Sandromon rooms face Mullayanagiri peak
- Location is very nice. You can plan your trip to Mullayanagiri in the morning itself.
- Well Maintained garden
- They serve whole day food and unlimited coffee.Food is tasty and they ensure to change the menu on a daily basis.
CONS:
- Nothing much but I would say that Mobile access is very limited (in a way, its good).
- ATM’s are 5-6 KMS away
It would be really bad if I don’t mention Arun’s name(from caretaker to everything), He ensures that all guests are having a good time here (even in case, where the owner is out of station).
Places worth visiting:
Mullayanagiri hills and the temple on top of that
Babu Budangiri view point
Butter milk waterfalls and the jeep journey till that place.
Belur and Haleibidu temples(on the way to Bangalore)
