Find Places to Stay in Devala on Airbnb

Beautiful is an understatement!! A hidden gem in the middle of a Forest! The food was just amazing and served with lodz of love:) All requests including the small ones were taken care off quickly.. will come back here again n again for sure :)

Spend more than 1 night. You’ll feel at home here, maybe even better. This is the spot for any couples or families that want to be surrounded by nature - fish ponds, cattle, birds, banana trees. Madhu and his wife are beyond accommodating and thoughtful. The food is excellent should you arrange that. Thanks again for having us on our bicycle trip around the world.

Placed at an amazing location this place has a lot to offer. We loved the hospitality and home cooked food made with love. Will go back again and again.

Awesome place in the middle of tea and coffee estate. Nice getaway from busy city life. The property has its own stream!! It has everything from cowshed to bird farm to fish farm to organic garden. Also spacious kids play area. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Great place for group outings and family outings. Best part about the stay is the host. Both Madhu and his wife are very friendly and helpful. Aunty was very helpful with accommodating all our requests since we have a 7-month-old baby. Good homely food for reasonable price. Lot of things to explore around the place. Looking forward to my next visit here!!!

We had a great time at Madhu Uncle's place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very quiet! Would absolutely recommend to stay there! and don't miss the home cooked food.

Although Madhu's place is about 30 kilometers from Wayanad, I would strongly recommend it for the sheer beauty of its surroundings. It was for the first time I stayed at a farmhouse, and I ended up spending hours just exploring the little details that everything around the farm carried. The food prepared by Sheila aunty was delicious, and so were the conversations with Madhu. I will recommend renting a scooter, which is easily available, if you are staying here.

Amazing place, pictures don't do justice to this beautiful tea estate which has a animal farm attached. One can spend days here if you like the calm and quiet of the nature.

Beautiful place with a river stream on sides , tea fields , fish ponds and whatever you ask for. The area is well maintained . One will get to eat nice home cooked food for a cheap rate and the taste of food can easily beat a five star hotel. All in all , it's a great place to stay. Better have your Own vehicle to roam around places .

If you're looking at zoning out, nothing like mountian villa. From the people to the food to the freakin location... everything is wonderful.

This place is in an excellent location, fantastic four families with the farm, settings and tes house. The food was excellent and very reasonable priced The accommodation was clean and very well equipped with tea and coffee facilities. Highly recommended

Gauri farms, set away from the crowded town, has a charm of it's own. They have a small farm, a nursery and pets on their property. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff were courteous and always available to help. The food served is simple and homely.

Inexplicable! Come & enjoy

Gouri farms is one of the best /memorable place I stayed in the recent times...How many reviews you read here is not at all compared to the location or hospitality. Definitely will try to visit once again if time permits...

Gouri farms is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. The whole space made us feel at ease and away from the city noise and pollution. Food was home like and tasty. Staff are always smiling. Very sweet ppl. Communication was also easy. Cheers!!:)

What a gem to find! We had a wonderful stay on Gouri Farms, the atmosphere was peaceful, the family was welcoming, and it was a beautiful place. Dinner from ingredients on their organic farm was delicious, and thoughtful touches like tea and coffee and notes about house rules made our stay a breeze. Thank you Jasmin for checking us in and showing us around the farm! We also loved Lily, their super adorable and friendly dog. We would have been happy to stay for several more days! Definitely stop here to relax in the Nilgiris.

The host is great. The food is home cooked and delicious. The stay was very relaxing and time was slowed down in their farm compared to my life here. We bought home some pickles which were great too.

A quickly planned getaway to Gouri Farms, Gudalur. After searching through Airbnb for a place for the long week-end (holiday due to good Friday, Saturday and Sunday) got to know about Gouri Farm. Various positive reviews helped us to zero in this property to spend couple of days with family away from city. Got in touch with Dr.Shyla through Airbnb who confirmed our booking even this was at the last minute and directed us to coordinate with Mr.Udayan for location details since she was out of town. We started from Bangalore around 6.45 am and had our break-fast at Kamath Lokaruchi. Spent some time at Ranganathittu bird sanctuary and we reached Gouri farms by evening. This farm house is located near Gudalur town and Mr.Udayan helped us with directions to reach the place. The road from Gudalur town is narrow and with steep ups and downs and the property is one km Gudalur from town. Later we found that there is another road we could take much before Gudalur town which helped us to avoid traffic and some kilometres. Once we enter the property it's a different world with lots of trees and greenery. They have kept the place as it is unspoilt. There are two cottages which can accommodate more people and four rooms in another house. Rooms are spacious and clean. We were four including two kids and found the place is sufficient. Most of the place is vacant with greenery which makes the place special. They have cows and two Labrador dogs which are very friendly. Swings and the playground will make kids happy along with the company of dogs and cat. Breakfast is complimentary and they served delicious yummy idlies on day one and Puttu and Kadala curry on second day. You could opt to get it served in your room too. Staffs were very helpful. Lunch and dinner can be ordered on request @ Rs. 200 per person for delicious vegetarian food. The place was bustling with lots of birds in the fruiting trees and plants. It is a haven for those who like bird watching as I have spotted many rare species of birds including Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, Hornbills, Heart spotted woodpecker etc apart from Bulbuls(red whiskered & red vented), Orange Minivets, Warblers, Barbets, Drongo (both black and racket tailed), Orioles, Crested Serpent Eagles, Jungle Fowls, Shrikes , Black-rumped Munias, Vernal Hanging Parrots, Shikra, Cuckoos, They have farm made fresh Ghee, pickle etc also and you could buy those. All in all, it was a dream holiday for all of us especially kids who enjoyed the most. We didn't go to Ooty even though it was around 40+ kms from Gudalur instead we opted to stay in the property itself. Mudumalai safari is 16 kms from this place and one could plan for safari accordingly while going or returning. Since the road till Gudalur is through forest we spotted elephant, deers, peacocks etc on our way. Finally, we left on Sunday with lots of memories...

It was a lovely stay at Shepherd's. The house is lovely and made us feel very comfortable. We enjoyed every bit of it. Only thing was that the televisions were not working, however we didn't miss it much as we engaged ourselves in other games and activities🙃 Also, we felt that the hall and the dining area missed a fan🙂 since it got really warm during the day time..A portable fan for that area would be nice!! Special thanks to Ramu, the caretake who was a true gentleman. Over all experience - 9.5/10 And would definitely like to visit once again.

Sunny place was very clean. Had a comfortable stay. Close to all the tourist attractions. Had a very comfortable and safe stay. The food we ordered was arranged and at a nominal price with good taste. Thanks to the caretakers, who took good care of us at the property. Loved the stay and will hope to visit back soon.

Awesome place to just relax and go back to your daily office grove. Excellent place for family and hospitality was very good. Would like to visit once in 6 months and value for money..

It was beautiful experience at shepherd's stay. Close to nature. Kids enjoyed the most. Very good for 3 families trip.

Sunny’s place was an awesome place to stay amidst nature. It seems like those beautiful ancestral property types with wooden flooring in all the bedrooms and attic. Bathrooms were super clean with new bathroom fittings. Anand and Ramalingam were superb care takers who were available for us throughout. Anand was more than happy to offer his bike and his company for any purchases we had to do. Mudumalai forest was just 30-40mins away from this place. Great location, awesome food, amazing place to stay, what more do you want during a holiday!

It is a good cosy place. Great for family outing. Caretakers Anand and Ramalingam were great.

It's a lovely house in the town of Gudalur away from the hustle bustle of Ooty. A perfect place for small groups of friends and families to unwind. The caretakers made our stay comfortable with helping out with food arrangements, suggestions and local tips. The property is well maintained and clean. The wifi and TV is patchy at best but when you're in Gudalur, away from it all, it works in your favour.

Awesome place with all basic amenities, Anand is a great host. The place is very near to Mudumalai, Bandhipoor, Ooty and Waynad. We hada a wonderful holiday with beautiful memories to cherish!

“Home away from home” If thats what you are looking for , this is the place. Amidst nature , clean but rustic .. archaic but modern. The greenery around would just wooo you away and the serenity would definitely make you stay worthwhile.

The paddy fields in monsoon, the Mutanga national park and walk through the nearby tribal villages.

On the edge of the Wayanad wildlife sanctuary, with dense green cover in the backyard, Prakriti is a super place for families and a group of friends to get a feel of living on the fringes of a forest. The place has two non-AC (ac not needed here! i guess) rooms and, hosts provide tasty food for a fee. Nenmeni Kunnu, where the homestay is located, is very close to both Kerala and Tamil Nadu forests. Great place to experience a walk through the wilds, visit streams nearby, drive through the scenic coffee, pepper and tea plantations and lush green hills of western ghats, buy bamboo items from local craftsmen, taste the local cuisine, and of course, wild animals on your way. The possibilities are immense. My friends, and their child brought home some wonderful memories from Wayanad. Planning another visit very soon. PS: Host Jayan is a professional photographer, and he treated us to some great pictures.

Quiet, well-maintained farm property. Wonderful host and caretakers, simple but excellent food. A jolly Labrador doggie. All this makes for a great place to enjoy a serene and beautiful holiday.

It was a lovely experience. Everyone we met ensured it was a good experience. Food even though veg only, was outstanding. Though we are mostly non vegetarians, we loved it, especially the Carrot Halwa-payasam. Lilly and grandma's Labrador were also good fun for our dog to play with. We look forward to returning for another stay, this time with our parents. A special thanks to Udayan for guiding us, and allowing my daughter to watch the early morning milking of the cow, Dr.Menon to spend time chatting with us. The little touches is what made it special. We were lucky enough to sight a Tiger(Cub) hunting right next to the highway. Overall an amazing experience.

Hi, Udayin was a great host, who welcomed us and explained the property and settled us down comfortably. Dinner was ready and fabulous. The place was serene and the organic farm was a charm. The place was very pet friendly and it was for Burberry my Boxer puppy I booked the place specially and she got two friends Lilly and Fauj, who were too much friend to play with. It was a great start to a New Year with at most comfort and peace. The entire experience was fabulous. Will recommend this place to more nature lovers and peace seeking families. A ride to the nearby forest in Masinagudi, which is in the midst of Mudumalai Tiger Reserve makes it all the more exciting. Thank you for hosting us.

Awesome location and cleanliness,we enjoyed the stay .

Nice and simple cottage, very clean and everything was just as mentioned. They also have a nice little farm. It's a lovely place with a lot of greenery. Shyla is a great host, helped us with tips about the nearby places. They also offer complimentary breakfast. Dinner was available on request, though we didn't get a chance to try that. Was there with my parents and they loved every bit of it.

Had a perfect stay with family at Shyla's place. Loved how quickly the host responds to any of your queries. Lovely ambiance and homely food.

It was an amazing month of August '17 we had at Gouri farms. We relocated to Gudalur and found Shyla's place an excellent second home away from home. It was a beautiful farm with splendid scenery, despite being very accessible from town. Everyone at the farm, whether it is family members of Dr. Shyla or the folks that work there, treated us like their own family . Absolutely wonderful hospitality, exceeded expectations every single day until our last day there. They ensured that we had great quality food, farm fresh milk, delicious fruits like guava and passion fruit. They helped us settling down at Gudalur as well as made some great friends. Will highly recommend staying at Gouri farms for all you travel needs.

Shyla, her family and household provided us with wonderful hospitality, kindness and help with logistics. Food was fresh and spicy. It was a perfect introduction to India. Gudalur is a small town from which to explore the breathtaking Nigrilis Hills.

We enjoied our stay on Gauri Farm very much. You can order breakfast, lunch and dinner. Amazing food! Also very kind people, paradise place with a lot of exotic plants. Waking up with bird singing in the morning. For sure we will visit again.

This out of the way homestay was lovely. Everybody who lives, works or both on the farm were happy to help at any time. We even had a nice tailor made walk that took in a couple of tea plantations, needle rock and frog rock with a lovely guide. We also took a jeep ride through the national parks and spotted wild animals at dusk. We were able to relax on the balcony of our accomodation, take in a couple of walks locally and walk around the farm freely. The homegrown and home cooked vegetarian food was a real bonus. They even packed a breakfast for us on the morning of our departure. Thank you

Excellent stay for someone who loves nature. The experience is worth it. It's a bird watchers land. Great for kids. Home food and warm hospitality.

If you are looking for a quiet break, this place is the perfect fit. The host is wonderful. My dog and I had the most amazing time there.
