Kabini Lake View Resort

Property is good but small. Food was very basic. Staff are courteous and the property is kept clean Expensive for the facilities offered

A small break of 2 days to Kabini lake view resort , a good destresser of sorts . The first day enjoyed the serene location with so much green around us , which gave a soothing effect to the minds and the cool breeze in the balcony with the shades of huge trees , the effect of Malayalam massage was fully enjoyed . The second day started with a small walk into the tiny village , in a search of a cup of tea in vain . Villages have the luxury of no hurried life like the cities , everything was at God’s pace ( calm and cool) . A quiet breakfast gave us a good time to watch a wonderful event of very tiny birds called robins with the size of hardly 2 inches long , which occasionally spread its tail like a peacock , as a show off to us . The water in the park outside the cottage was sprinkled on the trees and these birds , getting drenched in the splash , shirking the water and go for a fight against the water , displaying its courage and might . A playful event which lasted about an hour and it was so interesting to watch them play in water , and also showing it off to us . The lunch followed the safari by 3.30pm , lucky to spot the tiger in the reserve , was told it was 2 years old , sat in the pond for 10 minutes , walked with the majesty of a lion and walked into the jungle , not to be seen for the day . There were a few more animals like the elephant , wild boar , Indian gaur and beautiful spotted deers , antelopes , sambar deer , the lagoons ( said to be the cameras of the forest ) were aplenty . Not to miss the long tailed huge black squirrel, the serpentine eagle . A heartful of the nature’s creation , ended the day back to the jungle lodge and our resort . The thought and sight of nature , takes our mind in a different direction from the regular monotony of city life .

We had an excellent stay. Super service. The food was great. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

An excellent location to enjoy nature and for bird watching. This place is 90 mins from the mysore airport on the way to Nagarhole National park. It is 15 mins away from the Jungle safari starting point but the safari can pick up from the resort itself. It is around 1 km off the main road right on the banks of the kabini river. You can walk around the property and inside the surrounding villages to witness nature at its best. You can spot plenty of birds in and around the resort that includes water birds as well as land birds. The staff are courteous. Rooms are in the form of prefabricated cottages with excellent interiors and cleanliness. The food is homely and tasty. Mr Lennesh, Manager, arranged for a safari and naturalist ( Swami 86180 93897) for bird watching who did a wonderful job of giving us a tour in Kabini and Nagarhole. We did tiger Safari but did not spot a tiger. There are no restaurants or shops around the resort. You have all meals included in the tariff. Keep a car for yourself in case you want to move around. In all, it is a value for money for those who want to witness nature, especially bird watching.

Not worth the price for sure property is good but room was terrible foul damp smell dental kit only on request. No table to keep stuff no soap holder in bathroom breakfast and lunch are served 30 mins late than mentioned food is okay manager behaviour is good. But the room needs a serious ramp up for justifying the price

The stay at kabini lake view resort was very good and conformable. The cottage was neat and clean. The support staff were always ready to offer any help. The food was excellent. The manager of the resort mr. Lenesh was there always to offer any help. Our stay on the whole was memorable. Having said that the toilet and fittings need modification.
