One of the most reputed budget stay facility in Munnar, JJ Cottage is run by a friendly local family. Modestly furnished, uber-clean, well-lit rooms and efficient, warm service is the highlight of this place. All the rooms come fitted with basic amenities, attached washrooms, TVs and astounding views (go for the upper floor rooms for more amazing vistas). If roaming around in the rightly famous tea plantations of Munnar is high on your mind, JJ Cottage’s proximity to those makes it an impressive option. Quite a popular haunt for backpackers and anyone intending to stay for a longer duration (a month or more), it is also known for its homemade breakfast spreads. Eric, the manager at JJ Cottage, is also your best bet for organising short treks in the Western Ghats and tours in Munnar.
