Welcome to Gonakal Homestay — our family’s heritage retreat near Chikmagalur, surrounded by lush coffee estates and forests. Our 360-year-old home, with roots going back to the Hoysala era, is where history and nature come together in peace and simplicity. We offer cozy heritage rooms and cottages overlooking the hills and plantations, each designed for comfort and warmth. You can enjoy our home-cooked Malnad meals, evening bonfires, and leisurely walks through the estate — or simply relax and soak in the calm. As your hosts, we, Girish and Leela, take pride in sharing the quiet charm of our land and making every guest feel at home. Gonakal Homestay is our way of offering you a simple, heartfelt experience in the heart of Karnataka’s coffee country.
