"Excellent "

"Peaceful place."

"The Serai is in a coffee plantation; it is an oasis of calm in the centre of civilisation. We woke up to the chirping of birds and slept under a canopy of stars, both of which are impossible in the city."

"If you've had your fill of manicured gardens and fake waterbodies, time to step out to Aavarana for an authentic tryst with nature in its raw beauty. Backed by customer friendly service, simple home cooked food and accompanied by great natural vistas. But be aware - the access isn't as friendly. The internet is patchy and there's no TV. On the other hand, this could be the perfect detox for our digital weary minds."

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room and bathroom facilities need improvement in general to make it friendlier for children and older adults. "
