I visited this place with my friends and my pet dog. The hospitality shown by John and Finer, the folks in charge of managing the place ... is worthy of mention. Thy were great hosts and they run this place with great care and attention.
Deep woods is an absolutely calm and serene resort tucked away in the midst of Letchmi tea estate, just 30 mins from Old Munnar Town. Upon arrival, we got bumped up (due a several hiccups we went through getting to the place, and missing our first night at this place) to a spacious bungalow with a brilliant view, a nice veranda, a home designed with great taste, balconies that opened up to green haven ... simply put - a heavenly abode.
The food was great ... we relished the varieties offered at breakfast buffet, you could tell the chef (from West Bengal, don’t recall his name) cooked with great care to appease his guests. All the staff at the restaurant were accommodating of our special requests when we asked them to prepare delicacies of our choice. They were “hosts” in their true sense.
We could take long walks into the estate ... wander off into the “deep woods” and lose our soul to nature (only beware of leeches ... my dog and a friend were treated to some leech therapy). We often sat under the cool shades of the kiosks/gazebos (quite a few of those .. here and there) and meditated or read a book, even just sat to listen to gazillion of birds chirping. Overall this was a great trip and definitely a place I would recommend for people to stay. PS: we couldn’t fathom our trip ending, so we extended our stay by a day. But alas! The reality of having to return and getting back to business got us packing up the next day.
