What OliveBrook Provides
OliveBrook is a three star property on the Pothamedu road, 3.7 km from the centre of Munnar. It runs a 24 hour front desk, a restaurant, room service and laundry. Rooms are non smoking and some have a balcony, opening onto garden and patio space. Free WiFi and free parking are both provided. The garden and patio give children somewhere to move without leaving the property.
The guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 367 reviews, which is a consistent picture rather than a scattering of extremes. No other guest rating is on file. Those figures tell you more about the place than any single facility line.
Where It Sits
OliveBrook is at P. B. No:62 Pothamedu, 3.7 km from the centre of Munnar, in Idukki district, South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and it is the destination itself. The property is inland, set among hills rather than on a shoreline, and the altitude of the region runs from 1,500 to 2,695 m.
Tea grows from 1,500 metres up to the grassland here, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away and closes for calving in February and March. That closure is the one fact that can change a trip.
Who It Suits
OliveBrook suits travellers who want a calm, green base with a garden, a balcony option and a restaurant on site, and who value a 24 hour front desk. It does not suit anyone expecting a large resort or a long list of facilities: what is offered here is narrow and specific. The 3.7 km to the centre of Munnar also rules out stepping out of the gate onto the main bazaar.
When To Plan A Stay
September to May is the season. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so avoid those. January mornings frost here, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. If the Nilgiri tahr park is the reason for the trip, February and March are ruled out because it closes for calving. Book the shoulder months if you want the hills at their clearest.

Questions people ask
How far is OliveBrook from Munnar town centre?
The property is 3.7 km from the centre of Munnar, on the Pothamedu road. That is close enough to reach the town easily but far enough that the address sits away from the main traffic. A vehicle is useful for getting in and out.
Does OliveBrook have a restaurant and room service?
Yes. A restaurant and room service are both listed, along with a 24 hour front desk and laundry. Non smoking rooms, free WiFi and free parking are also provided. Meals can therefore be taken on site rather than in town.
What is the guest score for OliveBrook?
The guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 367 reviews. That is a solid, consistent figure across a large number of stays. No other rating is on file, so treat this as the single available measure of guest experience.
When is the best time to stay in Munnar?
September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk. January mornings can frost, and the Nilgiri tahr park closes for calving in February and March, so plan around those two months if wildlife is the priority.
