This is one of the best homestays we have stayed at, and we have stayed at some really awesome ones. Everything about Suvistara is 5-star - the hosts Vinod, the caretaker Manoj, the location, the view, the homemade food, the plantation walk. The highlights was the view of Elephant rock from the room, the variety of birds and butterflies you can spot from your balcony. We spotted scarlet minivets, parakeets, bharadwaj, woodpeckers, bulbuls. The highlight of the stay was the interactions we had with the gracious host Vinod and his tour around the entire plantation. Vinod is very passionate about his property and extremely helpful. We loved the plantation so much that we eventually ended up spending all our mornings and evenings doing leisure walks across the property. The plantation is so diverse and includes exotic varieties of fruit trees like avocado, passion fruit, cacao . We were lucky to spot a peacock in full flight during one misty morning. The food is homely and delicious. Vinod also arranged a special kerala meal for us on the occasion of Onam. He will also help you with local shopping like bean-to-bar chocolates, etc. Special thanks to the caretaker Manoj who is extremely efficient and always smiling . We will certainly be planning another longer stay in the future.
