I’m Deepa Kiran, the proud and passionate host of The Coffee Retreat, a special place I opened in 2015 nestled within a fragrant coffee and pepper estate in Mudigere, Chikmagalur. This homestay isn’t just a place to rest it’s my heart and soul poured into creating a warm, welcoming haven surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing aroma of plantations. I absolutely love cooking, especially preparing delicious Malnad cuisine with care, and sharing those meals feels like sharing a piece of my world with every guest. For me, it’s about more than just hosting; it’s about making each visitor feel truly at home, part of a family, and giving them a peaceful, memorable escape deep in the heart of Karnataka’s coffee country. Hosting here is a joy I cherish every moment of, and nothing makes me happier than seeing my guests relax, connect with nature, and leave with their hearts full.
