Monthly Rentals in Vellaramkunnu

The treehouse is a remarkable setting. We loved bird watching from our deck. Taking the kayak around the pond was serene (500 Rs). We walked nearby pathways through the tea bushes. 6 nights may seem like a long time but we relaxed right into it :). We did manage to get out for a tea plantation tour, a spice tour and a nature walk in Periyar Tiger Reserve - all worthwhile. As was shooting pool in the main building.. The people hosting were very helpful - Philip, Ganesh and Anuda (sp?).

The property is situated in the middle of a lot of foliage, and it was really cozy for us. Everything was squeeky clean and maintained well, and the caretaker Mr. Shaji took good care of us, delivered food and groceries on time, and he was really friendly. Mornings in The Placid Rill are the most beautiful. We could watch the sunlight falling on the mountains and trees nearby, right from the bed. It was a 5 star property and a 5 star experience, and it is very ideal for couples and small families. One small issue I would say was that the wifi in our room was a little weak. I had some work documents to upload, and it took a lot longer than expected. But I don’t mind that. Would 100% recommend to a friend.

Great place to stay. Totally worth the money especially since i took two rooms for this price. Would prefer hotel if provided one room Pros - 1. Host and his family is very friendly, very proactive and very helpful 2. Room and bathroom is very clean and spacious 3. Many restaurants and shops nearby 4. Easy to find place 5. Excellent tea by host 😊 6. Scenes from balcony is great especially during sunset and sunrise 7. No foul smell in balcony, even though i first thought it will have 8. Breakfast is complementary, have to pay for other things Cons - 1. Not that wildlife view, only can see animals which can be seen in daily. Was able to see pig, buffalo, dog, etc. 2. If something is not working, nothing can be done cause no one available to get that thing repaired asap. My TV and exhaust was not working and it could not be repaired during my stay 3. Alot of mosquitoes, flies, lizards. Mosquito machine coil is available but hardly work. Scary but comfortable sleep, nothing bit anyone

Sunila was very helpful and responded quickly to any requests (I asked her to wash out my water bottle which was getting musty) and help with ongoing transport. We loved the balcony and cane chairs perfect for relaxing in after early mornings in the reserve.
