Pros: It's a nice place near coffee plantations and near a cliff. Only a few rooms. The staff is excellent. Sorry I don't remember the name but I got such nice support to make my stay comfortable. The vegetarian food was outstanding.
Cons: The sliding door was a bit tight. Could consider adding some small trek or guided tour for added attraction. Could add a small waiting room for drivers to rest and sleep.

Lovely scenic stay with beautiful rooms
Pros: It’s a beautiful property with really kind hosts. Great place to slow down and enjoy Coorg. There are ducks in the water body nearby and it’s also a coffee plantation. They make you taste the local wine while you enjoy the bonfire at night. The food is homely and delicious. The rooms are spacious and appropriate for a family of 3 or 4.

Absolute delight, highly recommended
Pros: - Very well-appointed property with great attention to detail. Rooms are spacious and it feels like a lot of thought went into designing them, a pleasure to see. - Food is exceptional. Nothing disappointed us. Someone else recommended the hot chocolate, and it was fantastic! Also enjoyed the local preparations, breakfast and desserts. - The staff and hosts are genuine and a pleasure to deal with. Great communication on whatsapp (we received room information, itineraries, suggestions for restaurants and cafes). The staff were helpful without being intrusive. They were talking to guests in English, Hindi and Kannada. - Solar power backup was uninterrupted. Wifi was never a problem but we weren't using it for work so consult other reviews if this is critical. - They have a TV, PS4, a guitar, playing cards and a few board games to while away the time.
Cons: These are all very minor observations but I hope it helps people expectations: - We reached a bit late and the signs were a bit difficult to spot, and google maps conflicts with the directions on the signs once you're off the main road. Inexperienced drivers would do well to reach before sundown. This is normal for these parts of Coorg and is not exclusive to Bendheka. They have installed signs where possible but do keep this in mind. - While the property is listed as non-AC, they *do* have air-conditioning. However, grid supply is spotty in these parts so the AC only works when there is power. The rest of the time, solar backup works flawlessly for lights, fans, wifi, chargers, etc. For the same reason, there is no fridge in the room, but you can request the kitchen for cold storage. - A bit pricey compared to some other homestays, but the service and rooms are akin to a 5 star so it definitely over-delivers. - Subjective: the pillows were a bit thick for us but there were various cushions and we figured it out after trying a few others.

A sophisticated place in the midst of nature
Pros: Amazing people. Super amazing place. A combination of luxury and beauty. The place has all the modern features a star rated hotel would have. Just four rooms and the best part is that each of the rooms have 2 beds to sleep upto 4 people. When traveling with our 10 year old, this came in super handy. The food, the walks, even the drive to the property is amazing. The hosts Rishank and Pravalika was extremely friendly and accommodating. He helped us plan our itenary and beyond. He even helped cook something for my Son which was not on the menu.
Cons: Nothing to hate. We all as a family fell in love with the place
