  We were a group of four people visiting chickamaglur for a couple of days for a weekend trip and stumbled upon this place online.
  
  Me and three of my Cousins stayed over at Mr.Nachappa and Mrs.Meenakshi's estate for two nights and two mornings whilst we explored the mountains and forests around. Added to the comfort, food and hospitality, are the awesome view of mountains, falls and greenery of chikmagalur :)
  
  First off, the estate is fairly easy to find (unless we are looking for it in middle of night), its on the main road from Chikamagalur to Shringeri, The place is fairly clean, with three rooms, a furnished living room with a tv, separate bathrooms for rooms, hot water, warm comfortable beds and wardrobes for luggage and the place is quite spacious and can accommodate a large group of 10 or above with ease.
  
  The hosts, the couples Mr.Nachappa and Mrs.Meenakshi are kind, warm and welcoming and i must add their hospitality is just as good as their warmth and kindness. It didnt feel like we were in a place away from home and we got accustomed to the place swiftly and with ease :) Thank you Mr and Mrs.Nachappa (As one of our friends fondly addressed them Nachappa uncle and Meenakshi aunty) for making our trip a comfortable and memorable one.
  
  To elaborate on the title of this review,
  
  Comfort - It was very comfortable, the homestay quickly felt like home, the rooms cozy and comfortable, all promised amenities available given the circumstances and challenges of the place. { Nachappa uncle you are awesome :) } despite heavy rainfall, challenges of accessibility, rough terrain, power cut due to fallen over trees to damage electric poles, added to the fact that we arrived at 1.30 in the night instead of the promised time of 8.30 pm, the rest we got was good enough to rejuvenate us and drain the fatigue of traveling from the city of Bangalore.
  
  Cuisine - Exquisite !!!Both veg and non -veg :) Aunty can easily dominate the world of master chefs with her gifted variety, quality and quantity of better than most expectations cuisine :) Loved the coffee :) fresh ground coffee beans grown in their estate and the mastery of meenakshi aunty makes an awesome combo for top notch coffee :)
  
  Conversation : Whats a home without conversation ? the fun, laughter, knowledge an the occasional sharing of wisdom and insights will be highlight of your stay here :)
  
  Definitely would reccomend this place for all people looking for what we found :)
  Comfort, food, fun and a view of forests and mountains ;)
