We had a wonderful stay at Gowri Nivas in Madikeri! It’s amazing how this place manages to be right in the heart of town yet feels so peaceful and nature-friendly. The surroundings are green and calm — a perfect retreat away from the bustle of busy Madikeri streets.
A special thanks to Ms. Muthu, our gracious hostess, who made our stay extra comfortable. She went out of her way to help us plan our itinerary, suggesting the best attractions to visit around Madikeri and even guiding us with great dining options nearby. Her warm hospitality truly made us feel at home.
The rooms were cosy and well-maintained, with a lovely rustic charm and all modern comforts — Wi-Fi, 24-hour hot water, ample charging points, and more. The homestay had two bedrooms with attached bathrooms, and we especially loved the sit-out overlooking the garden, perfect for morning tea or evening relaxation.
There’s also ample parking space, which was very convenient for us. Muthu stays in another house within the same property, so she’s always available if you need anything. The complimentary breakfast they serve was delicious and homely.
Overall, Gowri Nivas is a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic homestay experience in Madikeri.
