The property had a lovely ambiance, and the stay was well-organized with excellent facilities. The environment was very hygienic and well-kept, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a vacation. The breathtaking view of the tea plantations and hills added to the charm, and the climate was ideal during our visit. The food and services were outstanding, with the staff being exceptionally polite, kind, and helpful. They even went the extra mile by preparing breakfast earlier than the official time to accommodate our itinerary.
There were no major issues, but minor improvements like providing vanity kits could always enhance the overall experience further.
Nightingale annex property is quite good. Very beautiful location. Food option are limited but tasty and good.

Perfect for a relaxing stay with family. We stayed in the Woodpecker and 'Nilgiri Pipit' rooms of Teanest Nightingale Annex. The rooms are spotless, spacious and very cosy. The Nilgiri Pipit room especially is massive, featuring a climb-up loft and additional bed, comfortably housing 4 people. View is absolutely gorgeous from the top rooms of the Annex, since it is located at a higher elevation than the other rooms. We did not have a balcony, although it wasn't a big drawback as the windows can be opened. Beds are very comfortable. Rooms are non smoking and pets are not allowed. Service: simply superb. These guys seem to have perfected hospitality, and our needs at the Annex were catered to by the two gentlemen Mr Rajnikanth and Manikandan. They would listen to every request keenly and provide a quick service. Hats off to Mr Rajnikanth and team for the excellent service and I believe this is the highlight of my stay. Food was another thing I should mention. Delicious, lip smacking dishes made fresh to order. Just make sure you communicate your order in advance for lunch and dinner and it's served hot. If you are vegetarian I highly recommend the dishes like sambar, dal, poriyal, paneer butter masala and the soft phulkas. They even made us fruit bowls upon request as my parents were on a diet. We loved the generous breakfast of south Indian fair like Idlis, Pongal, Pooris and freshly made to order Dosas, Omelettes and Aloo Parathas. Things to do: Well, since Teanest is located inside an estate, in the mornings they have estate walks and bird watching at 6 AM. However, apart from Kodanad estate, the area doesn't really have many attractions. But I feel that's a good thing for couples and families simply looking to relax and unwind in the cool climate and beautiful views. We spent most of our time playing cards in the common area, board games, badminton or simply lounging in the hammocks and looking out at the rolling hills.
Nothing much. We loved the place.
Good, neat a clean
The booking process and demand for an advance when you given card details, the telecaller was like in a funeral home, the switches didn't work properly, the lights kept fluctuating, BF service was efficient but was like a college canteen, you felt they were doing you a favor, and last of all the advance paid didn't reflect in the bill and we had to show proof to get payment confirmed The image shown was an old bunglow, but accommodation was in the annex. Please be honest Staff certainly need training..
Location and cleanliness very good;
Furnishing of the balcony to be improved. About the Food: more variety and improved cuisine desirable
Everything - the staff was really helpful. Initially the power outlet didn’t work and it was a bit cold but they could provide us with an adapter and a heater. The food was also really good and the facilities in general were of high quality.

Old wooden cart and bed... Heavy sound for the old wooden cart and bed.... Change immediately....
The location. The staff did their best to please
The food was only fair especially the breakfast
Excellent location, wonderful property, clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. Rajinikanth, Manoj, Dhandabani and the other staff were very helpful and friendly.
Awesome venue, awesome customized food, awesome service!
Excellent stay... Highly recommended
Staff
Everything about this property - location, views, breakfast, staff were exceptional. The rooms were good too. The staff - Rajni, Manoj and Riyaz were just WONDERFUL....FRIENDLY AND ALWAYS WILLING TO SERVE WITH A SMILE. While the property itself (including booking process etc) would get a rating of 10, the staff makes it 11/10 (if only I could rate them 11 :-). The food was amazing...so kudos to the chef too This was my second stay, this time with a group of family friends (the last one being in 2018) and the property continues to be as cute as before
I loved everything....nothing to dislike
Location and staff.
Exceptional service by the staff at teanest. Also, the quality of the food was very good. We relished our home cooked meals and the team was accommodative of our requests. I loved the picturesque view from the rooms surrounded by nature. Well maintained and clean property. This is definitely worth a visit.
Excellent location, not very touristy and more peaceful.
The whole property was clean with spacious rooms and necessary amenities. View from the lawn outside was awesome, and with the fresh air and the constant call of different species of birds, the experience is something to be cherished for long. Food was also very tasty, and the chef went out of the way to prepare dishes not part of their menu. The property staff Mr. Riyaz, Mr. Rajnikanth and Mr. Manoj were helpful right from the outset, and had called well before check in enquiring about any food orders. Overall it was a peaceful and memorable stay for our family.
The food service could have been a bit faster, as we need to wait a bit more if we order different varieties of food, which would be delivered one by one. Although we understand that the kitchen services are a bit limited, this could be looked into in future.
Stayed in April 2023. We loved our stay in Teanest. The staff were very courteous. Loved the food and best part is that very very tasty food is available at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately we stayed only for a night but would suggest spending at least a day or two completely there and just enjoy the scenic view and nature.
I don't have anything to complain about.
Tasty food but limited option
There was a fridge and kettle in the room in a seating area and a great ensuite. There was a good choice of excellent food on the menu and the breakfast that was included in the price was varied with a lot of South Indian dishes as well as some North Indian ones
The view from the room was limited but there was comfortable furniture in the front garden with a good view.
Excellent location 😃

This is our second visit to this lovely homestay and we had a wonderful experience. Mr. Lakshmi is always there to help you with everything you need. Both our trips were workations and Lakshmi ensured we had good wifi signals by adding an extender. He was also helpful in moving tables to the sitout from where we could work while enjoying splendid views of the tea estates and chirps of all the amazing birds around. Food was also beyond our expectation - scrumptious local breakfast with a lot of variety and an a la carte menu with tasty south indian, north indian and indian chinese options - all reasonably priced. All meals are alfresco if you like the ever cool weather. Max and Kalai served us during our stay and were really sweet people too. Highly recommended.
