Sundara Mahal Homestay - Home Stay in Kalpetta - Wayanad, India

Home away from home in the midst of calm, green Wayanad. It is a place called Kalpetta where this Homestay is situated. It is very accessible. We truly felt at home. Prabha & Murali were the best hosts that you would ever wish for. We were warmly welcomed by the hosts Prabha, Her mother and Murali , who made us feel comfortable from the moment we met them. The rooms were spacious and clean with all amenities in place. They also helped us with itineraries regarding sightseeing in Wayanad. The driver[Kannan] also was great, he was patient and made sure we had a great time and were able to see and experience Wayanad in a manner that the sweet memories are there for a long time. The most important criteria for us selecting Sundara Mahal was that it was pure vegetarian. The memories that we made are something which we will cherish for a long time. Sundara Mahal is a safe, beautiful, peaceful homestay with great hosts who will make your stay a memorable one. It is a place to be if one is looking for a relaxed vacation, child friendly and pure vegetarian homestay. We had a wonderful stay, made new friends and left with cherishable memories. Looking forward to visit Sundara Mahal again

I am waiting to get there again. I stayed there for 4 days with my wife and it was truly a great experience. We did not go out much and took the home food throughout the stay. The hosts (Prabha and Murali) are great people and treated us like long-time friends right from the start. Lovely home cooked food and fantastic ambience. Both of us are looking forward to staying there again.

A "HOME" Stay Indeed !! Sundara Mahal is a beautiful home amidst the green landscapes of Wayanad. Its location is easily accessible through Google Maps. Once you are in their huge property, it is a peaceful place surrounded with nature and their pleasant sounds.

For my birthday, me&venkat wanted to stay in a calm place near wayanad, kerala. As I was searching, I got the details about this beautiful home stay Sundara mahal, on NH 766,kalpetta, kerala. Wonderful stay with beautiful environment, natural beauty with lots of greenery. What else I need?Relaxation for 3 full days&nights from a stressful city life. Morning wakeup call from lovely birds, a jealous jungle fowl (he takes some intervals too!). The hosts are Mrs. Prabha &Mr.Murali(Narayana swami).Wonderful couple. We were chatting from morning to night,except for our outing, regular intervals for personal work. Such a wonderful mansion which has 112 years old history of vips visit to common man. The library in the adjacent building is awesome with having the signature of our father of nation, Gandhiji&other important freedom fighters.As a musician I am delighted to sing a song during the vishu festival. Main thing is the pure vegetarian food . Usually in kerala, we pure vegetarians suffer a lot to find a pure vegetarian hotel, that too with our standard of lifestyle. Luckily Prabha ji used to cook tasty vegetarian dishes with always a smile on her face. We were always in sundara mahal only for all those 4 days except a temple visit to thirunelli kshetram (for my birthday).we loved the ambience, natural surroundings with lush greenery, tall herbal trees, bamboo plants, roses etc.Neo,a goldenretriever wanted us to play with her in early mornings!Pooni,a kitten is there. Managing such a vast area is an herculean task but here the hosts are Managing with the help of a couple of helpers.Our car driver didn't step down to stay in nearby hotels because of the quiet scenic place. Service is also good. I am recommending this homestay Sundara Mahal to all my friends, relatives, my students etc.This is our first stay in a homestay with very good experience, almost very close to the hosts too.Cherishing the beautiful memories with Sundara mahal, kalpetta, wayanad district, Kerala, Radhika Venkatramana, Musician from Bangalore.

Sundara Mahal in Wyanad is by far the best home stay I have ever stayed at, anywhere. Easily accessible from the highway and yet ensconced amidst huge trees and lush green vegetation, the place is an oasis of quiet seclusion. Prabha & Murali are wonderful hosts who took care of our creature comforts in minute detail. From the moment we arrived at their place we were whole heartedly welcomed and made to feel completely at home. Spacious guest rooms with spotlessly clean washrooms are actually part of the large, century old house where the hosts also stay. They are both engaging conversationalists with a treasure trove of interesting stories and experiences. There was never a dull moment during our time with them. For breakfast and dinner, Prabha served up the most delicious, authentic, traditional Kerala vegetarian dishes. Believe me, it's worth staying there even if only to savour the cuisine! Early in the morning a jungle fowl woke us up with its raucous crowing which continued until it was satisfied that everyone was wide awake and ready for the orchestra that followed - melodious chirping, singing and twittering of birds. Sipping refreshing ginger tea in the portico, gazing at the surrounding greenery, watching tiny birds foraging in the front yard, time passed by, unhurriedly. Neo, the lovely, friendly golden retriever competed with the hosts in showering her affection. And when it was time to leave, we had to literally drag ourselves away with the promise of future, longer visits to look forward to.

'Sundaramahal' As the name says, its Sundar indeed! Sharing this review after almost 3 weeks of our stay here and still my family speaks about this Homestay, the way Prabha and Murli treated us and not to forget about the delicious food that Prabha cooked for all of us. Honestly speaking, no hotels can give you this warm and cozy stay including all the basic amenities with no compromise. Rooms, Bathrooms are super clean. The home is excellently designed and maintained. How can I not mention Neo, The little angel! A cute retriever that stole our hearts. On the whole, We loved our stay!You will be treated more as a family rather than Just Guests. Will definitely plan to visit Wayanad again specially to spend a short vacation at 'SundaraMahal'.

We were looking for pure veg and clean home stay at Waynad, and came to know about Sundaramahal homestay from reviews. I felt happy with Prabha aunty and Murali Uncle because of their joyful and easy nature. My parents got relaxed with clean homestay, tasty food like North Karnataka. This was our first visit to Kerala. We are with happy and warm memories. Special Thank you to Uncle and aunty. Stay blessed always.
