A family‑run homestay where heritage meets hospitality in the heart of Chikmagalur's coffee country.
Red Rock Homestay is a family‑run haven nestled in the coffee‑laden hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka. Established in 2012, our homestay is rooted in warm hospitality and a deep passion for plantation life.
What began as a dream to share the beauty of Chikmagalur with the world, Chetan Gowda started this homestay in 2012. Today, Chetan continues to welcome travellers from across the world, offering a slice of paradise amidst the lush coffee estates.
At Red Rock, we believe in the simple joys of life — freshly brewed single‑origin coffee, wood‑fired homestyle meals, quiet mornings wrapped in mist, and the warmth of genuine connection. Our estate is also home to the sibling brand, Red Roast Coffee, which shares the same passion for quality and heritage.
Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a longer retreat, we invite you to slow down, breathe deep, and experience the heart of Chikmagalur — just as we have for over a decade.

Chetan Gowda is a passionate planter and hospitality enthusiast who turned his family's coffee estate into a welcoming homestay.
