What the property provides
Tea Garden Riverside is a three star property with a guest score of 4.4 out of 5 from 361 reviews. A 24 hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry cover the practical side of arrival and departure, and free WiFi runs through the building. Rooms are non smoking and family rooms are available, with a refrigerator in the room and a kitchen among the listed facilities.
Outside, there is a garden and free parking, and car hire can be arranged if you want to move around the hills without relying on others. Taken together, the list points to a straightforward, well run base rather than anything elaborate: somewhere to sleep, eat simply and set out from.
Where it sits in Munnar
The property is in Munnar, a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, in South Kerala. It stands opposite Csi Church near Govt High School, at the edge of the built area, and is 700 m from the centre of Munnar, about 10 minutes on foot.
Munnar sits in the hills at an altitude of 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s, and Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. Being 700 m from the centre of Munnar, about 10 minutes on foot, keeps the town within easy reach without putting you in the middle of it.
Who this place suits
Tea Garden Riverside suits families and small groups who want a kitchen, a garden and parking, and who value a 24 hour front desk and free WiFi. It does not suit anyone expecting a formal hotel with a wide range of services, because the listed facilities are limited to the practical kind. The inland setting is the other deciding point: this is a hill base, not a coastal one.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the season to aim for. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, which can cut short any plan built around the estate roads and the hills. It frosts here by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon, so pack for cold mornings even in a South Indian hill town.
