Kadkani River Resort

Referred by my friend I checked few photos and booked it with an MMT deal through tripadvisor. Resort's tariff, food cost, transport isn't bad at all. People were saying lot of things about Coorg's hot climate etc. First day at the resort we were quite tired because of the cab drive from Mysore and the cottage's A/C wasn't working and it was quite sunny. Did a quick view of the resort and settled. Next day we roamed around and found how close the serene Kaveri river was and it's still water. Meanwhile the staff had courteously arranged a new room for us Went for a plantation walk with Sarath (the key activity person, must be ex military) and still water rafting. Post that did a quick visit to Abbey falls. Beware of quite curvy and narrow roads of Coorg esp people with motion sickness. Next 4 days that we spent in the resort were quite great as it had so much to offer. Air rifle, huge indoor games area, park for children and open space, volley ball and badminton court, burma bridge (very cool), trampoline, pond with self boating option etc. Food was awesome and this resort will surely give you a good break. No WiFi in rooms and Mobile coverage is limited or none. WiFi is provided at the lobby/restaurant hence you can catch up Swimming pool is quite good but insects floating. Wouldnt disturb you and the water is OK maintained. But it is thoroughly enjoyable. It has a kids pool and an adult pool from 4-5. 5 feet. Depth marking would be a great add to this pool apart from cleaning. There were families entering with their swimming suits and with full casuals and it was not controlled by the resort. This is our only feedback that could be considered. A pool side shower and may be swim suit rentals would elevate the resort to the next level The property has lot of plans, flowers, fruits, birds if you're interested in all these Staff is caring and helpful. Kids meals, room service are quite awesome. They just don't hesitate or say no at all. Food is quite tasty and huge varieties. Breakfast is as good as it gets In the still water rafting, with your life jacket, you have the option of dipping in the river (summer it is 10 feet deep and during rainy season +20-25 feet is what they told), hence it's thrilling but safe and enjoyable Staff, Service, Activities, Property /Location and Food stands out in this resort. Gives you a great feel.

A beautiful resort located amongst nature. The unadulterated nature and the bird chirping around the whole day is awesome. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The variety of food served is excellent and the courteousness of the staff need special mention. The river water rafting, plantation walk activities are enjoyable. The magic show will be enjoyed by the kids & the musical night with bon-fire was also enjoyable. There are bicycles available in plenty for moving around. The paddle boat and the rope bridge walking is fun. The activity room has facilities for table tennis, carrom board & Chess. The carrom board coins need to be replaced as the colors of the coins are fading. The transportation arrangement to visit the local tourist spots was organized very well and the driver was informative and the vehicle condition was good. The local tourist spots like Talacauvery, Abhey Falls, Raja Seat and temples are accessible and can be done on a single day tour. The only problem faced during our stay of 4 nights was the frequent disruption of hot water service. The staff attended to the problem but the hot water problem was recurring. As the place is known for Coffee a visit to a full fledged coffee estate arranged by the resort will be informative and a value addition. The TV location is very inconvenient and is below the eye level. The TV in the room should be bigger for the size of the room and should be wall mounted as all the people in the room will have a good view. The channels available are plenty to cater to the need of all age group. It is a nice resort and I would recommend to all my friends and relatives. Sridhar

We (2 adults + 1 kid) traveled to Kadkani resorts from 23-25 Dec 2017. Pros: 1. The place is very well maintained, and overall quite clean. 2. Kids entertainment: There is a well-maintained separate play area with carrom / TT / Chess. They have a number of badminton racquets that are in good condition. They also have a small library that had some decent books. The Swimming pool that is pretty decent sized and kept clean. During our stay, they also organized a magic show which all the kids enjoyed quite a bit. They also have some activities like Zip line (chargeable) that the kids can do 4. Enjoyed the morning walk spotting the birds. Our guide was quite knowledgeable, and was good fun. 5. The food was decent - specifically the non-veg. Not too sure on the veg front. 5. Overall the service was prompt. Areas for improvement: 1. Did not like the rooms. The 1st room we stayed in had to be changed as the door lock was getting stuck. The 2nd room's mattress was not very comfortable. The blanket provided did not really keep the cold at bay either. However, given the money we paid, not exactly in the value for money category. Though, it could have been a factor of the season we went in.

The resort is located at about 35 kms away from the heart of the place (Madikeri), the road leading to the same is a long winding one from the lush green forests, but the condition of the road is not always sturdy, thus you might take a bit longer to get there. Try and get there before sunset of you are not so sure about the roads and area. The place is great and their service standards are amazing. Cordial and helpful staff. The people conducting the activities are very well versed with the local trivia and the history behind the place. The restaurant is good however is very steeply priced. They charge you very high which is outrageous as compared to the local food at the best of places outside the restaurant. Also, they do not have an A la carte option. So pinches the pocket very heavily since mostly you would wind up at the resort before dark, which means dinner there. Besides this, the overall facilities are great.

Beautiful resort nestled amidst the unexploited greenery of Coorg. The resort is maintained and has activities like plantation walk, paddle boating, zip line, burma bridge, rafting, kids pool and play area, trampoline etc. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Good variety of food available. Resort is approachable from Madikeri-Murnad, Virajpet and Hunsur-Gonikoppa directions. Mobile signal is good until reception, but may be poor inside the rooms. Overall, great place and pleasant stay.

I visited with my 5 months old baby and expecting a clean & comfortable stay. Kadkani didn't disappoint me. Everything was right, I could optimize the time and able to spend more time using some of the facilities.. Food was also good and tasty.. All staff were very helpful and they are well informed about the needs of guests. Plantation walk and golf coaching was a very informative session. They need to maintain the bicycles, I was expecting better cycles with gears.

I don't know why this place has got good stars in rating. It deserves awesome star. And it is a very nice property. Room, food, location, staff was really good. We really liked this place. Location is almost 30 km away from mad were but it really makes sense and you will understand once you reach the destination. Full of green nature. Nice food and pleasant staff. We really enjoyed our stay. I did a mistake by not planning for the stay longer.

Resort located on a good location, next to the river banks. Decent room, cosy but dimly lit and no room service. Lots of recreational activities around. Nice for a decent weekend getaway with family and kids. Not for business weekends as there is no mobile connectivity and no internet but all rooms have satellite television. Canteen is not 24 hours and only buffet available. No local food verities served but decent and tasty food.

Perfect to hideaway from the busy schedule. Pretty isolated and entertaining. Food variety was awesome and staff was pretty good. Difficult to reach and roam around if u do not have a private vehicle.

Good activities and very nice location.

Warm welcome and good ambience. Nice activity to spend time. Good and supportive staff. Nice river rafting. Good indoor games for kids. Food was good. Enjoyed overall stay... Value for money...

Good stay at the Kadkani River Resort. Liked the natural glimpse of the Kadkani River Resort.

Excellent staff especially Ms. Kanthi always eager to serve. Very nice rooms and recreation facilities including rafting, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor games and of course cab services on demand. Food could have been better but doesn't take away anything from an overall great stay.

Little expensive as far as food is concerned no other options available nearby

Excellent landscaping, excellent staff coordination, heiginic food and excellent south food

Nice and well maintained resort, enjoyed the excellent hospitality of the staff. Ideal place for a weekend We enjoyed the river rafting activity very much. Mr. Ponnappa who took us for the river rafting made us enjoy it. The HI-tea was a surprise.

It was a great experience approaching the resort deep inside coffee plantation. (Day travel recommended) One full day was worth spending in the resort for various activities that was well arranged. 2 days of nice site seeing.

Far from the crowd. Pleasant and helpful staff. Using navigation to spot the location is time saving.

Can be improved a bit more as per cost and rating of the Kadkani River Resort. We were expecting some more facilities and provisions according to the cost of the Kadkani River Resort. Hope to visit next time and with better quality of service.

Good place to relax with your family, food and ambience is good, a bit far from the Town. Overall an excellent place.
