The first thing that hits you when you enter this place is the amazing house. Its a perfect blend of antique, luxury and comfort. That keeps you in comfort and... Read more awe all at the same time. The study, living area, sitting area, rooms all are just too good. The food is as amazing as it can get. We had 5 meals there and each meal had something if not everything which we wanted to take back with us. The plantation is huge and a guided walk in that is a must. The location is amazing, roads approaching the property are good. The owner, Siddhesh, is personally there for each guest and I believe that helps maintaining the quality of the stay. A very highly recommended place.

A good weekend spent amongst the nature. Rooms are Luxurious, spacious and neat. Experienced a homely feeling with good hospitality from the hosts with pets roaming around us. The food was tasty,... Read more cooperative staff, overall a great experience. Only one thing to complain, the Pricing ! The estate and home stay is good and luxurious only in aesthetics. At the end of the day did not get the satisfaction of value for money for the services provided. I have experienced better home stays for much cheaper prices. This definitely will be my go to place in Sakleshpur going forward if offered at reasonable price.

It’s a wonderful place for a extended weekend stay. The rooms are spacious clean and well furnished. Good is extraordinary. You can get a wide variety especially the malnad cuisine... Read more is awesome Staff make you feel at home. Set amidst coffee plantation, the ambiance is relaxing.

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...

We enjoyed all the meals and aunty made sure to include few of our favourite dishes as well . Loved the location of the property , it had a small lake surrounded by the coffee plantation.

Me, Family and Friends had a fantabulous week end get away. Great Hosts, Good Food, Great Manor, Great Estate, Nice Pets and Amazing Service. Had a lovely Estate Treak with... Read more kids. Kids had a good time with pets. Bon fire and dance, performance and dinner around it was good experience family and kids. Kids loved the Trampoline. We had the whole place for ourselves. Had great Malnad food. Good experience and Hosts was really awesome. We had our early anniversary celebration and daughters early Birthday celebration here. Will definitely visit. again.

A perfect getaway with family and friends. Place is easily accessible from the main road and is amidst a beautiful coffee plantation. The serene green sorroundigs are a treat for... Read more eyes and mind. The rooms (and the entire house) are clean, large and tastefully decorated. Hosts are very friendly and made us feel home. Everything was so well taken care and we were totally pampered. The true Malnad style home cooked food was lip smackingly delicious. There is ample space for kids to play around. A couple of traditional swings around the house add to the beauty of the place and were perfect for relaxing. We had a peaceful walk in the plantation and got back home some beautiful pics. A great experience and look forward to being there again soon!

when you visit place like Siddhanta manor, you ponder why you did not visit earlier. The place is so well maintained and groomed both by the host and mother nature.... Read more We spent weekend with a big group of friends and family and cherish every moment there, host Sidesh and Geetanjali served the best home cooked food with attention to details and made sure kids also have great time . Whether you are adult or a kid there are activities for all age groups. Looking forward to spent another weekend getaway again some time

Fantastic place! The property is located not far from Ballupet village but it's remote enough to give you the feel of exclusivity. The rooms and the facilities are very tastefully... Read more done and the hosts (Siddesh, wife and kids Jia and Neil) were very hospitable and made the stay really memorable. The food served was tasty and the staff was courteous. The swimming pool is clean and we spent a lot of time there.

We stayed at Siddhanta Manor for 1 night in October 2020. It was a very positive experience spanning several dimensions. The rooms were decorated in a traditional decor with large... Read more beds (very important for us) and provided a sense of space as well as comfort. The hosts and their staff was focused on our service all throughout our stay (we were with friends who stayed there for two nights) leaving us wanting for nothing. The food was authentic, simple and was made right in front of us. The massive courtyard provided a sense of space for our children to run around and their pets (those alcohol inspired names are cool:-) were fun to be around. A brief evening walk through the coffee plantation to the lake provided a touch point with nature and was relaxing. And IPL on that big projector screen made us question whether buying large TVs was worth it! Given COID 19, it was impressive how cautious the hosts and staff was (always on masks for staff and food served on an open verandah provided confidence). Would love to spend more time here in future! Thank you for the memories.

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!

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.

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.

Had a great time at Siddhanta Manor. Very friendly owners and staff. To top it all 3 dogs and 5 cats. Loved it.

Comfort, charm, warmth, nature, amazing food; all rolled into one is Siddhanta Manor... you could just get lost(literally and figuratively) while exploring amidst coffee and pepper plantations through this 40...

The hosts Sid and Geetanjali put their heart into making you feel at home and make sure you have an amazing experience!.. P. S. If you had any reservations about black cats crossing your road, Bagheera would definitely surprise you!

Siddhanta Manor has managed to weave in the perfect blend of professionalism with the comfort and warmth of a homestay. The place offers spacious rooms, a generous spread of local cuisine...

Ginny, the resident boxer, stole our hearts as she made herself blissfully comfortable on our laps and Whiskey, the spaniel is the sheriff, with the heart of gold! One can just lounge around with a steaming cuppa or there are enough places around the area, worth exploring. The Shettihalli Gothic church ruins are worth a visit. The drive, takes you through picturesque, winding roads. Thank you, Siddhesh and Gitanjali, for being sincere and wonderful hosts!
