Trace your Mangy genes, while you smell them coffee beans!
For any Mangalorean once/twice removed from the Mangy pedigree but who has grown up on granny tales of the splendour and risk of estate-life, The Hidden Valley offers a charming peek into that world. Henry Aranha's quaint home offers just the right balance of rustic with comfort. A no-fuss place, The Hidden Valley is clean, warm and very friendly.
We were made very welcome by the owner and his dashing son while the property manager Suraj and his obliging staff looked into all the other details...working up a storm in the country kitchen. Nothing like hot puris on a cold morning! Giving us a taste of the local flavour & show-casing the local musicians was an interesting value-add and a nice move towards building an inclusive environment. What we loved best however was our personal conversations with the turkeys! ...The clean, unspoiled air and the wonderful walk through the coffee estate learning the nuances of berry picking. Top that with the thoughtfulness of the owner -- The Christmas Cake - what a lovely start to the festive season!
All in all a fabulous getaway. Thanks for giving us 'family time' that was so, so special - a magic memory.
Warm Regards,
Keith & Joan Shenoy together with our family & friends - The Pintos and Ayonoadus
