Mr Joshua has maintained the place impeccably and the rooms are very neat and clean. The rooms were very well maintained and had all facilities like hot water (very important in Valparai climate), a TV and Wi-Fi.
There is ample covered car parking too, which made the stay that much better!
Thanks to Bharath who was very kind and courteous and made our stay that much better!
Definitely a must recommend from me! NA
