A three star hotel with a garden and terrace on the road up to Munnar, set 5.6 km from the centre of Munnar in Idukki district, South Kerala. It has a guest score of 3.8 out of 5 from 288 reviews. Its own restaurant, breakfast, free parking reachable by car from the town, and a playground make it an easy fit for families who will have a car and want a calm base between outings.
What the hotel provides
The New Oak Fields is a three star property on the Munnar road, and its facilities are arranged around a straightforward family stay. A 24 hour front desk and luggage storage deal with odd arrival times, while free parking lets you leave the car without fuss. Breakfast is served on site, and there is a restaurant for meals when you would rather not drive out again.
Free WiFi and a lift appear alongside laundry and wheelchair access, and the grounds include a garden, a terrace and a playground. Those last three shape the days: children have a space of their own, and adults have somewhere quiet to sit. The guest score is 3.8 out of 5 from 288 reviews.
Where the property sits
The New Oak Fields stands at Ottamaram Pothemedu Munnar, in Idukki district, South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the property is 5.6 km from the centre of Munnar. That is close enough that the town is part of the stay, and far enough that the evenings are not the town's.
The destination is the hills around Munnar, country that scales from 1,500 to 2,695 m. This is tea country planted from 1,500 metres up to the grassland by the Scots in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres.
Who the hotel suits
The New Oak Fields suits families and self driving groups who want a garden, a terrace and a playground rather than a central address. It does not suit travellers without a car, or anyone who wants to step out of the door into the middle of Munnar. The 5.6 km from the centre of Munnar is the deciding fact.
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. Munnar frosts by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon, so pack for cold mornings as well as mild days. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March.
