Bamboo Banks Farm & Guest House

This was the fifth visit of my family to Bamboo Banks and to say that that we had a blast would be an understatement!! They also happen to be celebrating their 50th year and we as a family have been visiting since 2014 and each time we have come with friends and family it’s always been an outstanding experience. This time I visited with my parents, wife and children for a holiday. The food spread is amazing and caters to all pallets both vegetarian and non vegetarian. We were there for a week and each day was a food extravaganza ….. The children had a blast in nature exploring the property, riding the horse, observing the myriad forms of nature present be it the flaura and fauna. There was adventure too with us driving around the property in the 4x4, cycling around the property and its many trails, admiring the view from the tree house and more. We also visited the wildlife sanctuary for guided tours, the elephant camp and driving up to Ooty. However the best part was enjoying the property and relaxing in the lap of nature. The staff as always were caring, kind and took personal interest in all our comforts be it at the breakfast table, setting up a nice evening of dinner with soup or taking care of the safety of the elderly and children with extra special care. It’s heartwarming and nice to see when something you experienced not only gets better with time and keeps up the service and experience levels of warmth love and care.

This property is stunning, and the staff is exceptional. They epitomize the principle of keeping things simple and doing them well. Despite its spacious layout, the property is impeccably maintained and offers a variety of activities. I must give a special shoutout to Rafique. The staff is incredibly caring, ensuring that our toddler was well taken care of in terms of both activities and food. The food is another highlight of this place. A must-have experience!

Our 2 night stay at the Bamboo Banks farm guest house was too short. Apart from human guests the farm was also home to monkeys playing in the grounds or otherwise occupying the verandah of our cottage. Jumping on the roof in the middle of the night was also one of their pranks. A stray elephant in the night left its mark by pulling up a tree in the grounds. The surrounding grounds is also home to several bird species, among which the elusive blue bearded bee eater and jungle owlets. A guided walk around the grounds is possible. There is also a refreshing clean swimming pool. The guest house is a very welcoming place. Don’t expect luxury but the friendly staff and the best food we had during our trip to India made it a fantastic place to stay.
