Neelakurunji Luxury Plantation is a two star property on the Venadu Muttukad Periakanal Road at Chinnakkanal, outside Munnar in Idukki district, South Kerala. It stands 12.2 km from the centre of Munnar. A guest score of 4.7 out of 5 from 460 reviews is unusually high for this star rating, and that gap between the label and the reviews is the thing to weigh before you decide.
What the property lists
Neelakurunji Luxury Plantation lists a long set of facilities for a two star address. There is a restaurant, a cafe and a bar, and breakfast is served. A spa and massage are available, with yoga and a tennis court for active days, and a garden, terrace, patio and picnic area for slower ones. Karaoke and a banquet hall cover evenings and events.
Practical matters are covered too: 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security, express check in, luggage storage, laundry, car hire, free WiFi and free parking. Rooms come as family rooms or non smoking rooms, some with a balcony. Special diet menus can be arranged. The guest score of 4.7 out of 5 from 460 reviews suggests the gap between the two star rating and the experience is wide.
Where it sits
The property is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, which places it in South Kerala. Munnar itself is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the address sits 12.2 km from the centre of Munnar.
That gap matters: you are not in the town, so the stay is based at the plantation rather than among the town's streets and traffic. The Chinnakkanal address is on the Venadu Muttukad Periakanal Road, and the surrounding district is inland hill country, not coast.
Who it suits
It suits travellers who want a self contained base outside Munnar and will use what is on site: the restaurant and cafe, the spa and massage, the tennis court, the garden and terrace. Families and groups are provided for through family rooms and the banquet hall.
It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of Munnar. At 12.2 km from the centre, every trip into town is a deliberate outing rather than a step out of the door. The two star rating will also put off travellers who book by stars alone.
Before you book
Confirm directly with the property which facilities are open on your dates, since the list is long and not every item runs all year. Ask whether breakfast is included in your booking, what the special diet menus cover, and whether a balcony or patio is guaranteed rather than requested. Check express check in and car hire availability in advance, and confirm the exact gate location on the Periakanal Road, as the address is outside Munnar town.
