The most perfect stay at a truly unique, charming, authentic estate. Not just a stay but lots of activities included, home in the plantation, morning bird watching and tea tasting sessions. Truly the best South Indian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the chef was amazing and every meal comes to speak with you. The staff were wonderful. Cannot recommend Windermere enough.

No beers available at the restaurant but we've learned that Kerala hotels are mostly dry.

We enjoyed the activities offered by the hotel and particularly appreciated the tour with Ansel who showed us the local fauna and flora. All of the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful! Overall the grounds were beautiful and the food was freshly made a delicious! Clean and cozy rooms too with great views on the surrounding hills.

The location is beautiful amongst a Cardamom plantations and surrounded by tea estates. Super staff : kind, efficient and helpful. The meals at the barn were very tasty. The in-house activities with a naturalist were enjoyable. Not to mention the high tea in the afternoon.

Room was comfortable but should have had a fridge given that the hotel isn’t licensed. They will keep for you in their fridge and deliver but for convenience it should be in the room. Not many sunloungers round pool and a little uncomfortable

We loved the views and quietness of the hotel and the walks offered. All staff lovely, breakfast was especially good served outside if you liked.

The property is situated beautiful between the teaplantations and takes you away from the business of Munnar. The staff was amazing with our kids and went out of their way to play with them and accommodate them. The activities offered were lots of fun as well and we basically didn’t have yo leave the resort - that’s how beautiful and amazing it was.

The estate is located at an ideal distance away from the bustling Munnar town. It is far enough for one to enjoy the tranquility yet near enough to easily get into the town if necesary. I could dropped my luggage at the reception while I went for a hike in the morning before I checked in. Service was attentive, warm and friendly. The estate kindly upgraded my 1st floor garden room to the 2nd floor spacious estate room with a view over the tea plantation. Love the hot tea and snack served in the evening especially during a cold rainy day. The door mat outside my room seemed to be a favourite spot of the estate friendly dog. She was always lying there quietly when I open my door and followed the group around during the plantation walk. The guided walk around the cardamom and peper plantation owned by the estate was educational. Our guide was looking out to see if the elderly in the group had difficulties following and made adjustment along the way. The dinner decided by the chef was wonderful especially the fried lamb. Although the sky was overcasted with slight drizzle in the day with heavy downpour in the night, Windermere estate is the perfect place to be stranded in such weather after some tiring Munnar explorations. The thoughtful staff also insisted we took the large umbrella to our rooms which turned out to be useful as the rain resumed during dinner time.

Nothing. It was somewhat humid and cool over two nights, but the property provided us with a heater and our ground floor room was warm.

Outstanding food and home welcoming staff. Well organised hikes with amazing local guides. And lastly Windermere is a rare case where the facilities and the surrounding views from the estate are actually better then their photos on booking.com.

A one of kind resort and the hosts made you feel like royalty. Great food served with love, amazingly peaceful location, the estate and bird watching treks were a wonderful experience. Overall for a family holiday, in my opinion, there is nothing better in the whole of Munnar.

A few slices of fresh cut fruits would have been nice but I didn't really miss it

I liked the breakfast. Enjoyed the traditional Kerala food and the honey and the marmalade . The staff was friendly and efficient.
