Homestays in Chikmagalur: a hilltop estate stay with four ways to stay
Suraksha Homestay is a coffee estate homestay in Chikmagalur, near Mallandur, high in the hills. Plantation surrounds the house on all four sides, with no neighbours and mountain views, so it is an affordable nature stay with home-style food and a free bonfire. Choose the stay that suits your trip.
A coffee plantation stay, not a resort
An estate stay in Chikmagalur can mean many things. Ours is a plain home on a hill, kept as it has always been, with coffee and pepper plantation on every side. It is a nature stay in Chikmagalur for people who want quiet, birdsong in the morning, a dark sky at night and nobody else around.
You can walk through the plantation, watch wildlife at the pond near the main gate after dark, and see the hills from the balcony. If you want luxury facilities, this is not the place. If you want a simple homestay surrounded by coffee plantation, it is.
Homestay with food, bonfire and mountain views
- Homestay with food: home-style meals are cooked at the house. There is no restaurant nearby, so tell us your meal plans when you book. Self-cooking is possible if you ask before booking.
- Homestay with bonfire: the bonfire is free for guests, and evenings around it are a highlight of the stay.
- Homestay with mountain views: a hilltop is visible from the balcony, and trails and viewpoints are close by. See places around and experiences.
- Affordable and honest: it is a budget-friendly homestay, with simple comforts and clear rules. See the tariff.
