Waterwoods Resort Kabini offers excellent accommodation facilities on the banks of the Kabini River. The main attraction is the Wildlife safaris and the Spa services. The hotel is located right on the banks of the Kabini reservoir. This hotel is one of my favourite weekend getaways from Bangalore!
Waterwoods was a really enjoyable experience because it was quiet and exclusive compared to other resorts in Kabini. I believe in the philosophy of a small home style resort run unobtrusively and sustainably without too much of an impact on nature. Waterwoods exemplifies this philosophy. The home styled food was delicious and I appreciate the discreet service offered by the staff.
There are very few Luxury Wildlife Resorts in Nagarhole National Park and Kabini. Waterwoods offers probably the best value amongst the Jungle Lodges & Hotels in the Kabini area. The services are exceptional and the quality of the food is very good. This resort makes for a great holiday destination around Bangalore and Mysore and I really enjoyed my stay at WaterWoods - definitely a highlight of my trip to India
