Riyavar Luxury Homestay

Set amidst acres and acres of coffee plantation in Coorg, Riyavar homestay comes with the comfort and luxury of its own. The hosts Ms. Shilpa and Vinay Bopaiah are one of the best people we’ve met during our homestay. They ensure that we were comfortable at all times. Special thanks to Ms. Shilpa for checking in on us time and time again to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay. She took time to interact with us providing her suggestions on where we can go sightseeing and activities we could indulge in. What makes this place unique is the personal connection the hosts established with us taking care of everything we asked for. We’re truly grateful for making this vacation a memorable one! Riyavar Homestay offers open, spacious and clean courtyard with ample of fresh air and sunlight. There’s parking space, tree house with lounge set up, couple of gazebos, dining and high tea areas and the main building with rooms and suits. There are bicycles, trampoline and books that can be used. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The food served is delicious and one can choose from wide variety of options they offer. Don’t forget to indulge in their local cuisine which is to die for! Every inch of these spaces are sparkling clean and beautiful. The staff is always at your beck and call and are courteous, helpful and polite. For us, the best part was the ride to the lake set amidst the coffee plantation. They offer you a ride in the jeep and the short distance from the stay till the lake is an adventure in itself. Guests can enjoy rafting, fishing and enjoy the tranquil views of the nature.

Riyavar Luxury Homestay, is one place I would like to revisit. I give it a tag line "From your home to your home" This is a fantastic place for a vacation. Cut off from the city life with in forest like environment, this is one fantastic place for rejuvenating your mind, soul and body. Travel to this place itself is via a forest, so if you are lucky, you get to take photos of wild animals. A great place to spend time with your family and friends. This homestay has a great ambience and the rooms were just great. Since the time we reached over there, the staff absolutely made us feel comfortable and it was more like staying in your own house. The host Shilpa (owner) ensured that we enjoyed every bit of our stay. The food was something "wow" I miss it. You ask them anything, they cook it for you. The taste is just unexplainable; Amazing taste!!! Shilpa and her team pampered us with all kinds of cuisines. Needless to say the authentic Kodagu taste. Yummy!!!! Last but not the least the desert made of coconut milk, Oh *** that is awesome. This place is absolutely child friendly. Children have indoor as well as outdoor games to play and they can use the cycles as well; again at no cost. People who are interested in buying spices like cardamom, pepper etc. can purchase from here as they grow it in their estate. Also, you get to purchase homemade wines of various flavours. Give it a try guys!!!! For all those who wish to take a break and go to Kodagu, I would say this is your place. Once again thanking Shilpa and her staff...
