Maple Holiday Homes (25 Kms from Ooty)

I have stayed in the Maple Home Stay with my family(Wife + 2 kids + 2 In laws). We booked two rooms via GoIbibo and extremely happy. Rooms : > Rooms alloted to us were very spacious and clean with a Balcony > All Linen were very clean > Rooms interiors are good neatly done > Enough space to keep your luggage's and space for kids to play around inside the room. Wardrobe, Make up table with mirror was available. > Hot water was available 24*7, courtesy geyzer in room itself. > Toilet was super clean and tidy. > TV was available with Tatasky connection. You don't get all channels though, guess its the basic pack. > Extra pillow and blanket were not available by default. Food : > There's common dining room available next care taker's rooms. No menu or food is readily available. Food available on prior request only. > Very limited options were available but the food was tasty. They will cook both non veg and veg on request. > For any meal, you should inform them in advance. If you need breakfast, inform them by previous day evening or night. > Coffee served was really good. > On demand, they do try and deliver what we want. > Food was very reasonably priced and was good to stomach. One must not waste their time in searching a hotel in conoor to eat if you are staying in Maple's Service : > Husband and Wife with their kids are taking care of the property. They do everything. Cooking, cleaning, Check in, Check out etc. They were really sweet and very service oriented. > Check in process was quite smooth > Nothing to complain, they did serve us with all we asked for. (like coffee at 6 am in room, early break fast etc) Location : > Located about two kms from Coonoor bus stand > Away from the town Chaos and with lots of nature around and valley view > Since we went in our own car, it didn't matter where we stayed. Parking > Two or three cars can be parked, note that they have six rooms. I had no issues in parking in my two days stay though other guest had cars too. Cost > Very reasonable. Got good deal from Goibibo. Note about Coonoor: Nothing much to see except Sims park, Dolphin nose and Green Valley shooting spot view point. We covered this in half day, we did Ooty for one full day. It takes about an hour to reach Ooty from Coonoor. Stayed October 2016.

Maple Holiday homes works strategically because of it's location & the amazing food you get which is deliciously prepared by our master Chef 'Chandran' (Chandran - 0*******3). The rooms are clean, big & there is a balcony which adds more excitement. The balcony provides you scenic visuals both on the morning & evening. There are rooms on the ground & first floor. You can opt for the first floor which is better than the ground w.r.t visuals. The room is big with a king size bed, excellent bed sheet which protects you from the chill. Coming back to food, What you eat is really amazing there. I had 6 Poori's straight & it tasted exactly like the food made by mom. Food is the best part out of everything followed by the location which is very near to bus stand (~1km) Advisable to walk in the daytime from bus stand else to take an auto. You just need to inform Chandran about your itinerary so he can do the best for you right from food to sight seeing. He makes things simple for you by giving sharp ideas. It was because of him we were able to ride on the Ooty toy train. He is extremely helpful followed by his wife & two kids. They do the managing stuff of the holiday home there & they really do it well. Coonor is really underestimated place when compared to Ooty but Coonor will sweep you off your feet by it's beauty & tranquility. Just go out & enjoy the place.

Maple is just 1.5 kms from Coonoor Bus stand. The location is in the midst of serene nature. Location has beautiful view of valleys. For location I will give 5/5. The servants at home stay are very helpful and you can give your food requirements. They will prepare a very homely, tasty food. For Hospitality 5/5. The rooms have Geyser and you have 24 hour hot water supply. Rooms are neat & tidy. Bathrooms are clean & hygiene. The DTH connection is available, but limited channels. Facilities 4/5. Overall a very good experience. Would recommend for family, couple and groups. Rating 4.7/5.

Another beautiful stay of our 7 day trip. The place is far from the city so be sure to have your own vehicle or book for one from the stay. There are no restaurants around but you can inform the caretaker in advance if you would be available for breakfast lunch or dinner. The food is homemade and delicious. Since the TV in our room wasn't working and most of the rooms were empty, they let us stay in the room below and keep our stuff in the room above. Make sure to take your own towels and soaps since it's a homestay. You won't get anything there.
