The New Whispering Meadows is a three star hotel outside Munnar, in the Idukki district of South Kerala. It holds a 4.1 out of 5 guest score from 1199 reviews. A restaurant, bar, front desk that never closes and free parking decide the stay, along with a shuttle service that covers the 6.2 km to the centre of Munnar. It suits travellers who want a full service base in the hills and does not suit anyone expecting a small guesthouse.
What The New Whispering Meadows offers
The New Whispering Meadows is a 3 star property, and its listed facilities cover the practical edges of a hill stay. A 24 hour front desk, concierge and currency exchange remove the small frictions of arriving late or changing plans. A bar, restaurant and room service mean meals do not depend on going into Munnar. Free WiFi, a lift, family rooms and a kitchen widen who can settle in: families with children, groups who cook some of their own food, anyone who wants a lift instead of stairs.
For getting around, bicycle hire and car hire are both available, and a shuttle service covers the 6.2 km to the centre of Munnar. Valet parking and free parking take the stress out of bringing a vehicle. A beauty salon, laundry and a garden round out the list, so you can arrive dusty from a day in the hills and reset without leaving the property. The guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 1199 reviews is the useful signal: this is a well used, consistently rated base rather than an unknown.
Where it sits in Idukki
The New Whispering Meadows stands outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district of South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the hotel is 6.2 km from the centre of Munnar. That puts it in the hills rather than in the town itself, with a garden and balcony on the property side and tea country on the other.
Munnar is the destination, a hills destination at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, 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 and closes for calving in February and March.
Who should book it
Book The New Whispering Meadows if you want a full service base outside Munnar with a restaurant, bar, shuttle service and parking already in place, and if a 3 star property with a 4.1 out of 5 score from 1199 reviews matches your expectations. Skip it if you want to be in the centre of Munnar, because the property is 6.2 km from the centre, or if you prefer a small independent guesthouse rather than a larger hotel.
When to plan a stay
Come between September and May. That is the destination season, and outside it the heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk. January mornings frost here, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon, so pack for cold starts even though Kerala is tropical elsewhere.
