Griha by The Mudhouse Marayoor

Perched atop a quaint hill, The Mudhouse is surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of Sahayadri. Wake up to the sun rising over the mountains as you laze in the verandah with your favorite book or exchange secrets with the moon as you relax in a hot bubble bath in the garden washroom. However, you choose to spend your holiday, at Griha, you can be assured that you are much closer to nature than you have ever been. The space A unique experience in the remote village of Marayoor, Griha – Nature Living is a spacious luxury cottage that came about through the intertwining of aesthetic design with traditional materials. Echoing barefoot luxury every step of the way, Griha is romantic, intimate and modern. While the introductions to other cottages began with the view or the cottage itself, for Griha I am taking the guilty pleasure of speaking about the washroom first. To call it open to the sky is an under statement as the washroom is fully out in nature overlooking the Western Ghats. The washroom has been tastefully designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Soak yourself in sunlight or watch the starry skies as you indulge yourself in a hot, relaxing bubble bath. Spacious interiors of Griha complements its surroundings beautifully. From the rangoli arts to carefully curated decor pieces, the cottage reflects barefoot luxury at its best. Wake up early to watch the sun rise above the mountains right from your balcony or spend the evenings sharing stories with your loved ones under the starlit sky. Following the principles of Wattle and Daub, the mudhouse is sure to make you fall in love with the beauty of everything earthy. Here, every nook and corner has been consciously designed to welcome you to have the most wonderfully relaxing holiday imaginable. Guest access Guests have access to the Griha Cottage. The dining and kitchen areas, as well as the garden and garden shed, BBQ and campfire area are shared by all guests. A short 5-minute walk from the property leads to a private viewpoint, offering stunning views of the land. It's a perfect spot to enjoy watching birds, deer, butterflies, and a variety of tiny creatures in all shapes and colors. Parking is available inside the property. Around the property, you can travel with your own private vehicles or make use of cycles available at the property. We can also arrange a cab / rikshaw for your travel needs. Other things to note Kindly note that we are located in a remote village of Munnar, called Marayoor, located 30 Kms away from Munnar town. Tea plantations are 10 Kms away. We are a forest bordered property. Kindly plan your stay with us accordingly. The Mudhouse is a tranquil destination where one can unwind and be one with nature. Listen to the birds singing or at times, in the absolute stillness, the quiet breathing of mother nature. Kindly avoid visiting here if you tend to love loud music and are looking for a party place. Being a sustainable property making use of mostly natural materials, maintenance activities are very much a part and parcel of the experience. If you're lucky, you'd get to witness the changing of thatch or mud polishing and get to converse with the artisans.
