Markalmane is our family’s old farmhouse in Malasavara village. It’s not a commercial resort, just a beautiful, lived-in home that we occasionally share with friends and like minded people who want a quiet, real village experience.
We host only one group or family at a time — please message us personally to know if your dates are possible.
A simple Malnad farmhouse in Malasavara village, lovingly kept and opened occasionally to friends and like minded guests who want to experience village life.
“When we renovated and preserved this house, everyone said we should ‘use the space better’ and make it more commercial. We chose the opposite — an old farmhouse, open spaces, trees and a kitchen that always smells of something homely. Markalmane is not a resort. It’s our home in Malasavara, and if you come here, we want you to feel like you are visiting a friend in the village.”
We have 3 simple, comfortable rooms in the old farmhouse. Expect basic comforts, village style — not luxury resort vibes.
2 decent bedrooms rooms with one king size cot and other is queen size cot,another tiny room with queen size sofa cum bed, a living room with sofa set and TV, the verandah cum sit-out area where most conversations happen also has a diwan cot as well as queen size sofa cum bed. Additional foldable mattress available
A favourite spot for morning Malnad coffee, lazy reading hours, group chit-chats filled with giggles, and cozy evenings with a glass of sundowner spirits.
A fully equipped kitchen with dining area, verandah and outdoor spaces that you are welcome to use and make your own during your stay.
Think Malnad village life: slow days, simple routines and nature all around you.
Wake up to village sounds instead of traffic. Walk around Malasavara, talk to locals and see how the day unfolds here.
Heat water the old way with firewood if you want the full rustic experience, or just use the geyser when you prefer convenience.
Use our fully equipped kitchen to cook your own food, or request home-style meals prepared by local villagers (based on availability).
A lovely café about 15 minutes’ drive away if you feel like stepping out for coffee, snacks or a change of scene.
There is a scenic water stream close by – perfect for a quiet walk, sitting with your feet in the water, or just listening to the flow.
Two bicycles and a motorbike with helmets are available for guests to wander through the surrounding coffee estates and forest trails. Wildlife sightings often include graceful deer and vibrant peacocks. For your safety, please return before dusk, as elephant movement is common at night. We trust our guests to use the vehicles responsibly and return them as they were taken, or courteously reimburse for any damage.
Markalmane is surrounded by nature. Out of respect for the wildlife around us, loud music and parties are not allowed.
Replace these with your own photos – the farmhouse, kitchen, rooms, garden, pets, stream and little corners you love.
Exact location and route details will be shared personally once your visit is confirmed.
