We wanted somewhere green and quiet after a hard year. The houseboat night was exactly what was promised and the coordinator rearranged our Munnar day when it rained. No fuss at all.

Quiet, private and genuinely restful. The Ayurvedic spa day was booked exactly when we asked for it, not when it suited the resort.
