Holiday rentals in Iyerpadi

I stayed in a stunning home with a breathtaking mountain view and beautifully designed interiors.

Had a lovely weekend stay at Forest Edge Resort in Thattekad. The place is peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by greenery — perfect for unwinding and doing absolutely nothing, which is exactly what we wanted. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and everything felt very thoughtfully done. Special mention to Gigi, the caretaker, who was always around and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to just relax and take it slow.

The stay was scenic, offbeat and perfect! Divya even helped us to arrange for the cab driver, who was warm, friendly and accommodative. Made things easier while traveling with family. Many spots/activites are available nearby spotting elephants, waterfalls, elephant ride, zip line,view points (kottapara was our favourite) Food arrangments were exquisite! Freshly prepared and tasty! My personal favourite was veg stew and idiyappam. Overall, a stay with value for money! Go for it!

We stayed at George’s place—a group of 5 women above 50—and had the most heartwarming experience. The property is extremely safe, super clean, and beautifully maintained. We were greeted by real butterflies and vibrant flowers like champa and bougainvillea—pure paradise for nature lovers! The garden and mountain views were stunning, and we even spotted peacocks and many birds. George gave us a wonderful farm tour and was always helpful, from reaching the location to planning our visit to Parambikulam and Kodaikanal—his recommendations were perfect. The food, lovingly prepared by George’s mom, was absolutely divine—felt like home-cooked comfort. Every meal felt like it came from the hands of Goddess Annapurna herself. George, Thommy, and the family made us feel like their own. One tip: coordinate transport with George if not driving yourself. This wasn’t just a stay, it was an experience filled with nature, warmth, and genuine connections. Highly recommended!

It was a soulful stay. The connect went meaningful right from the time of booking until check out. Great guide to help navigate through the scenic routes. Exceptional hosting style, simple, healthy, thoughtful food and service. The moonlight dinner added to the experience. Sujatha was a Pro in organic farming and kept us engaged and enticed through the evening with farm visit. The night was a thrill to hold ourselves in the spacious Tents, the bedding arrangements were perfect and we had a good night’s rest. The chirping birds was our wake up call , a quick hot serve of Ginger tea gave us the energy for a nature trail observing the local birds- green pigeons, bee eaters, backpie robin, brown headed Barbet and a fantastic dancing Peacock 🦚. Drove back through the contour canal and settled in the a refreshing shower and a yummy healthy South Indian breakfast. Parted Sujatha and Arul sir with loads of memories and lots of plants, seeds and farm produce. A stay that was worth every bit.

This location is a bit remote but totally worth it. A stream runs by the property, a lot of jackfruits around, a small checkdam-waterfall at walking distance and further ahead some beautiful viewpoints. Locals are friendly, a young couple helped us to checkin and an uncle guided us to a viewpoint. Vivin is really kind, he coordinated everything through phone. We were lucky to have booked Sibi's cab from Kochi because they both communicated seamlessly in Malayalam and took us to lesser known sightseeing places. He got things arranged pretty well. Vivin also offered us homegrown fruits and jackfruits, his mom Sophie aunty was super warm and kind to us. This is not a commercial luxurious resort, this is a proper house where you get to experience how locals live, first hand. Different experience, totally worth it. I thank them for hosting us and wish them great luck! 🙏🏻

The stay at this place was amazing . The views the house provides were spectacular. The care takers Mr Rajen and Mr Guna along with his family were very accommodating and responsive and took great care of our family and needs . We enjoyed our stay and loved it and will definitely come back for another vacation stay in the future . The only recommendation is with the narrow roads on the mountain sides it’s better to call the host ahead of time if your traveling with a large group and a big vehicle so they can guide you on how to get to the property easily as it’s perched on the mountain top with breathtaking views of the valley. Overall great stay great complimentary breakfast options , clean place , great host .

A-mazing & A-musing place! An absolute dream to have stayed here. Dint really spend a lot of time indoors. The outdoors just steal the show. Would love to go back. Just a heads up:- This is a village and food options are very limited and average. The staff would prepare just one item or so.
