Read more wise it is in the coffee estate so you can take a walk around the coffee plantation which is big enough. It has all the amenities that anyone might need on a vacation.

This is a review: friends and family, this weekend we visited siddhanta manor in balupet for a day. It was an absolutely full and rich day. The homestay is really... Read more homely and extremely well maintained. The food was delicious and some recipes were from the owners grandmother. The hosts are really friendly and take good care of their guests. Shady the cat and Jinny the dog love humans and are a delight to be around. It's a place where you can relax, sleep for hours. It's situated deep in the plantations of balupet so there's not a sound. Clean and crisp air. Lots of space to do great walks. Lots of pretty birds for birders. Did I say the food was great?!. Anyway anyone who is looking for a weekend get away, I'd recommend this one. 3.5 hr drive from Bangalore on a good 4 lane road, 20 km on a divider less road.

Ended the year (2021) here and couldn't have chosen a more beautiful, verdant and serene place. The lake on the property is a lovely place to unwind, you can go... Read more for an easy trek in the coffee plantation and most of all, the food is excellent. Every meal we had was memorable and delicious. Look out for the gorgeous orchids that grow on the porch. They're all real!

We just got back from what was our third visit with our family and friends to Siddhanta Manor within a three month span. And it's only now that I decided... Read more to write a review. So why do we go there so often? 1. Drive time from Bangalore of 3.5 hours makes it an effortless drive. The 180 km stretch from Bangalore to Hassan is a breeze, with tolled four lane highways. However, the last 20 odd kilometres to Ballupet where the manor is located is a single lane road with several areas where the road is a bit patchy from high way construction work. Overall, very comfortable. 2. The home is exquisite. The rooms are classy, clean and well maintained. The long sit-out that skirts the stately estate home on three sides has several nooks where you can lounge and take in the crisp country air, read a book, or just gaze at the pepper wines, swaying arecanut palms and coffee bushes with the soothing sound of rustling leaves as a background score. The bathrooms are as good as any international chain hotel, which is a big thing for me. 😉 3. Sakleshpur is the best kept secret. And this homestay is a great base to explore the surrounding countryside which has traditionally been overshadowed by Chikmagalur and Coorg. If you're willing to go off the highways either by walk or drive, the regions sights are simply breathtaking and very rewarding. 4. The hosts really add the word "home" in Home Stay. Gitanjali and Sid are informal, relatable folks who are happy to let you into their world and make you feel like you knew them forever. And the coffee served is first class! 5. Meal time is always exciting with a selection of Malnad (the Sakleshpur region has its own culture and identity) recipes which are unabashedly local, both meat and veg. The local cuisine can be a tad spicy so do let them know if you have special needs in advance. 6) And finally, while they have four rooms, they do not let them out to different groups, from a Covid safety perspective. That was a clincher for us and a huge draw to come back. Besides the fact that our two kids love the house, the friendly dogs, and the simple act of running around without a care, or a mask! A word of advise, it's a home stay - a very comfortable one at that - not a "resort", so do ensure you match expectations. If you like laidback, personable experiences, Siddhanta Manor is your home away from home. Happy traveling!

Awesome place to spend your holiday. The property is very calm and has majestic touch decorated with classic artifacts. All kinds of facilities are available for a perfect luxury homestay.... Read more My kid along with my family enjoyed it to the fullest and we extended our stay for additional day. The property owner Siddesh is really nice guy and helped us with all our needs. Siddesh's family was also there due to holidays and we liked their company. You will enjoy the evening bonefire with serene atmosphere with perfect combination of authentic food and music. Dont forget to have a walk in the coffee estate around the property. Will highly recomend to stay there if you plan to visit near Sakleshpur/Chickmaglur.

PS: Don't miss a stroll around the plantation and the gorgeous lake.

Spent 3 days at this home stay recently. And I've stayed in a few home stays before, but what makes Siddhanta Manor different from the others is the involvement of... Read more the owners. It's not just a source of revenue for them, but more like a labour of love. They are literally welcoming you into their home, which is quite beautiful by the way. A 4 bedroom house plus media room to your discretion. The owners stay within the premises but in separate rooms which are outside. Plenty of area to play, and it will be enhanced further once the pool and kids play area is up and running in a few weeks time. They have 3 dogs and plenty of cats around, so if you are fond of pets, there is additional entertainment all the time. Their 2 kids really got involved with our little ones and the friendliness of the owner and family was a bonus. Food is mostly south indian, it's good but may not suit every palate. The kitchen staff will try to accommodate some requests though. Location is good, only thing is it's a bit interior so not much around except a very small market about 10 mins from here. What that does bring is peace and quiet. Tried to be very thorough with the review. I don't easily give 5 star ratings, but didn't have much to fault with this place. Hope to visit again sometime.
