Our Story

Welcome to Gowri Nivas, a charming homestay nestled in the serene heart of Madikeri, Coorg. This lovingly restored ancestral home invites you to experience the warmth, comfort, and legendary hospitality it has been known for over generations. From handmade floor tiles to antique doors, pillars, and windows rescued from a chieftain’s residence, every detail of Gowri Nivas is steeped in stories waiting to be shared.

 

Our Journey Began

Our journey began with my grandfather, Sri. Appaiah, who broke away from tradition to seek his fortune in Madikeri, where he purchased Gowri Nivas from a Brahmin family. Named after his wife, Gowramma, this home became a beloved gathering place, often hosting 30 to 35 people, and the birthplace of many family dreams. Though time saw some family members move to the city, my wife Muthu and I, as the third generation, felt a deep calling to preserve its legacy. Inspired by our travels, we envisioned Gowri Nivas not just as a homestay but as a welcoming retreat where guests could feel at home, immersed in the essence of Coorg life.
