I recently had the pleasure of staying at Windermere Estate in Munnar, and it was nothing short of exceptional—an experience that truly captured the serene magic of Kerala’s hill country.
From the moment we arrived, the property enveloped us in peace and nature. Nestled amid lush greenery, the estate is surrounded by verdant plantations and misty mountains, offering breathtaking views that change with the light throughout the day.
It’s the perfect escape for anyone seeking a quiet, rejuvenating retreat immersed in nature. Our room was comfortable and charming, with lovely views opening out to the estate’s greenery. The staff were outstanding—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. They made every aspect of our stay feel effortless and personalized. Especially the owner Dr. John and the other staff, Mr. Sri Kumar, Noel, Medha and Akilesh.
Food at Windermere Estate deserves special mention. The set menu dinners were a delightful fusion of local Kerala flavors and continental dishes, beautifully prepared and presented. Each meal felt thoughtful and flavorful, using fresh ingredients that highlighted the region’s bounty. The highlight of our trip was the cardamom plantation trek, led by our wonderful guide, Medha. Her deep knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly impressive—she pointed out medicinal plants, explained the cardamom cultivation process, and shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and ecosystem. It was an educational and immersive experience that made the walk through the estate’s plantation feel magical. Overall, Windermere Estate exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for a peaceful, nature-immersed luxury stay in Munnar with excellent hospitality, delicious food, stunning views, and memorable activities like the plantation trek, this is the place. Highly recommended— we’ll definitely return!
