Tea Harvester

Kerala in July is breathtakingly beautiful and our stay at Tea Harvester Munnar was undoubtedly one of the best experiences that will remain in our memories forever...with balconies looking out at the surrounding lush tea gardens, rooms having muted light and comfy beds, excellent food and a wonderful service to boot... Tea harvester, Munnar felt like another welcoming home...would definitely stay again

Caring and friendly staff.. beautiful views snd lovely birds. We were on the 3rd floor and saw leaf birds, flame throated bulbuls, rufous treepies as well as many others.. Whilst I was there I was walking in the tea plantation and slipped in the monsoon mud. Rohid and Anil came to rescue me because they saw me disappear and not resurface! The staff were all so kind, offering to drive us to the hospital and encouraging us to get medical attention.. it turned out I fractured my ankle.. they continued to look after me really well, bringing meals out of the service hours when we returned from the hospital and helping me get around… The room was lovely although I do agree about the dearth of towels.. no face cloths or hand towels but they will bring extra regular size ones and bath mats.. and tons of extra tea. Oh, and they clean the floors with lemongrass oil in the water.. heavenly! Thanks to Sanid and Ajix, Rohid and Anil and the ladies who clean and helped me up the stairs…

The Tree Harvester is a hotel housed in a vintage bungalow inside a tea garden. It is located in Chungath estate in Chitirapuram, near a hydel power house, about 6 kms away from Anchal and about 12 kms away from Munnar. Good motorable road connects this property except for the last 800 m, which is single lane dirt road inside the tea estate. Gruenberg Tea Plantations Haus is on the other side of the tea garden. The hotel is housed in an old bunglow with spacious rooms and excellent views all around. There is a Kathakali and Kalaripayattu center nearby where regular performances are held. The food quality & taste are excellent and quantity justifies the price. The open air dining is very enjoyable. It is a pity that the management of such an excellent property is very casual about the hospitality. All parts of the property are not cleaned properly like the fountain etc. The bed sheets and towels are not clean and have spots on them. The towels are wornout, the bedsheets have holes and the plastic chairs are chipped. . The house keeping staff are not very efficient. The extra bed and mattresses are kept on the balcony right outside the rooms. The other staffs are quite indifferent and neglect guest complains. We had booked room at upper level and was given a room where the latch of the balcony door was broken. Though it was informed to the hotel front desk in the noon, it didn't get repaired till late evening. Then they tied a plastic rope and asked us to bear it till next day. After some discussion they shifted us to ground level room for the night. Next day we were allotted a room on the upper level but had to shift our luggage ourselves as no staff was available. The parking is also small and accommodates 6-7 cars. In a nutshell, the property and its location are excellent but other than that, nothing justifies it's 3⭐ status as claimed on various travel portals. My suggestion is to book this property only through some reputed travel agencies and take their help in case of need.

We stayed here in May, and it was the most disappointing stay so far. The temperature sores to as high 30-32 degrees but no Ac is given. The staff is rude the food is bland and the price is exorbitant. The staff is impolite and doesn't respond to your queries. Whenever asked for any help, they give you attitude as if they are doing a favor to you. To top it all there is some construction noise going around all the time. There's some continuous drilling going on outside the rooms which makes it impossible to stay in the hotel.

Nice place to stay, food was good. Slightly over rated than required as there is no gym, swimming pool or area to walk or trek, you can trek in tata tea plantation which has nothing to do with there stay, road is narrow and should be ready to reverse a long way if required. Pay a little more you can stay in places with gym, kids play area and swimming pool.

Not worthy for this amount just like lodge
