Me and my bf stayed here for 2D 1N. We had a wholesome experience with very nice service from the host. The stream nearby was amazing and we had a great time with the nature. Highly recommended!!
Truly a Home Away From Home “The Now” is more than just a stay—it’s a beautiful experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were visiting family rather than checking into a resort. Radhakrishnan chettan is an exceptional host, more like a caring elder brother, who guided us to hidden local gems and made our stay truly special.
The Now offers an exceptionally cozy and calm stay near Ponmudi. This private pocket of nature provides direct river access and the soothing sound of flowing water right from your bed. The rooms are spotless, and the host is incredibly friendly and attentive.
We stayed at Kanikudi naturestay for two nights. The stay was pleasant, and just around the calmness of nature. The Kallar meenamutti waterfalls is just one km away from there, and river flowing just behind the stay. It was pleasant experience.
The Now – the name says it all, reminding you to pause, stay present, and soak in the moment. This beautiful stay felt like a home away from home, offering warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. With its cozy rooms, homely food, and the ever-welcoming hospitality of the lovely host, Radhakrishnan chettan, every detail here makes you feel cared for. Nestled close to the serene Kallar River, the location is nothing short of magical.
I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying at this beautiful resort along with my two pet dogs. The place was peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing away from the city hustle. What made the stay extra special was the warm hospitality of the owner, Mr. Radhakrishnan – a truly humble and kind person. On top of that, he is a great artist, which adds a unique charm to the entire place. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, especially pet lovers. Will definitely visit again!
