Read, relax, breathe — or do absolutely nothing.
Sometimes the best activity is none at all. Our converted cattle shed café is the perfect place to sit with a book and a cup of fresh coffee, watch the valley below or simply stare at nothing. We've arranged reading corners, hammock spots and quiet nooks throughout the property. There's no schedule here. You decide the pace.
Play, stretch, run — on the top of our hill.
At the very top of our property sits a small open ground with views in every direction. Bring your kids, bring your friends — it's a great space for cricket, badminton, frisbee or just running around. There's nothing quite like stretching your legs at the top of a hill with clean mountain air around you.
Walk through pepper, clove and coffee — smell the harvest.
A guided walk through our working spice plantation. You'll walk through rows of pepper vines climbing up trees, see clove plants and coffee shrubs, and learn a little about how these are cultivated and harvested. This is a living farm — not a show — and the experience is authentic and unhurried.
Multiple trails — from easy walks to full-day hill treks.
Our location near Ilaveezha Poonchira and Illikkal Kallu gives you access to some of the best trekking routes in the region. Whether you're a casual walker or an experienced trekker, there's a trail that fits. We can guide you to the right trails and provide basic guidance on what to carry.
Ride through quiet village roads, farms and streams.
The roads around Chakkikavu are quiet, winding and beautiful. A bicycle or two-wheeler ride through the village takes you past paddy fields, small churches, streams and local homes. It's a lovely way to see local life at a slow pace. We can help arrange bicycles or advise on the best routes for two-wheelers.
Bring a book. The hill will do the rest.
Our property has several spots perfectly suited for outdoor reading — a shaded bench under the cocoa trees, the hilltop ground at dusk, or the café veranda with a valley breeze. Bring your favourite book or borrow one from our small library shelf. This is a place where time moves differently.
Book a stay and we'll help you plan exactly the kind of visit you want — action-packed or blissfully lazy.
