Woodway, Chikmagalur

Woodway offers the quintessential Chikmagalur experience. It also happens to be the first homestay established in the coffee capital of India. Susmitha and her husband Shreedev have nurtured this home over the years, organically adding to the structure that stands today. The homestay itself is about a 40-minute drive from the town and is a part of the family-owned Hullikere Estate. It’s perched atop a hill, allowing you to experience the true charm of this side of the Western Ghats.
In total, there are six rooms in this over-100-year-old house, each named after elements from the surroundings. The food is prepared in the Malenaadu (south interior Karnataka) style, and the prominent use of locally sourced seasonal ingredients defines its preparation. Morning and evening walks with the owners contribute to the overall experience of staying at Woodway
