Stay overview and location
Gruenberg Tea Plantation Haus Munnar is a small tea-estate stay in Chithirapuram, Kerala, set among tea plantation land a few kilometres before Munnar town. It suits couples, families and groups of friends who want a quiet base for walking and hill scenery rather than a stay in the middle of town.
Rooms & rates
One guest describes the property as having only seven rooms, which points to a small, low-key stay rather than a large resort. The same account says rooms face the tea gardens on one side and the mountains on the other. Another guest mentions a balcony in their room but was unsure whether every room has one, so ask when you enquire if a balcony or a particular view matters to you.
Room size and in-room extras may vary from one room to another. Because guest reports on upkeep differ, it is sensible to ask about the room you would be allocated before you confirm.
Choose check-in and check-out dates before adding rooms to your request. Current rates and availability need confirmation.
Lorelei Room
Spacious first- and second-floor room with a balcony and views on both sides over the Tata tea estate slopes.
Rheintal Room
Ground-floor room with a balcony opening onto the valley, tall trees and tea hills, beside a perennial stream.
Amenities
Guests mention an open terrace dining area, which makes meals part of the setting rather than a separate stop. Food is reported to arrive on time, and the stay appears to work best when you plan to eat on site, given its position outside town.
Guests also say the property arranges hikes through the tea gardens. Whether these are chargeable or need advance notice is not confirmed, so check this when planning your days.
Location
Power house Road, Chithirapuram, Kerala, India
The hotel sits within a large tea estate a short distance before Munnar town. One guest puts the drive from Kochi at roughly four to five hours, so allow for a full travel day if you are arriving by road.
Gruenberg Munnar is away from town traffic, which suits a slower pace but means you will probably rely on a vehicle to reach town sights and restaurants. Anyone planning sightseeing around the Gruenberg tea plantation Munnar area should arrange local transport in advance.
- Setting: inside a working tea estate, a few kilometres before Munnar town
- Road access: about four to five hours from Kochi, according to a guest
- Town access: arrange a vehicle for sightseeing and meals out
