The Serai Kabini

The serai kabini is a must visit during the monsoons too. The property has breathtaking views of the Kabini river , the mountains and the forest. The property and the rooms are really well maintained. The staff is extremely courteous and friendly. The veg food is outstanding , the Executive Chef Sri Ramakant takes really good care of the guests. He prepared Litti Chokha and Dhooni wali Daal , it was delicious!!! The Safari experience was also great. Thank you Serai for a lovely holiday

Excellent stay. Staff is the best. Brilliant food. Do try out Spa. I liked the non veg food especially Mangalore fish curry, mutton curry and chicken curry. The quantity of the food is good You can have bonfire, it's amazing Overall excellent

We went for a family stay at The Serai and had booked 2 rooms, one villa and one verandah room. Both were river facing and similarly sized. We got two rooms close by so it was very convenient. Most of the rooms are in pairs and are a bit of distance from each other. It makes the stay feel very private and peaceful, one feels like you have a personal space with a garden. There is a hammock with every room which is a very cute addition. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The entire staff of The Serai is top notch, they were constantly taking care of our comfort and always with a smile. Right from checkin to arranging safaris to meals and right till checkout, everything was perfect. The entire team including Chamaraj, Sathish, Mahesh, Prabhath and the entire housekeeping staff including Shivappa, Manoj were very courteous and helpful. Saleem from the management team also called us a few times to take care of our requirements. Special mention to the Spa facilities, they were just amazing. We spent a very nice afternoon at the spa and went for a couple package called “Bliss” which was just perfect. Food at the restaurant is very homely and the breakfast spread is very nice. Safaris were arranged by the Serai team and it’s quite comfortable to plan them just a day in advance based on the weather. I read quite a few mixed reviews before going, but I can assure anyone going to the Serai - that they would have a great time. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay, weather was great and the entire family enjoyed the experience. The drive was just 4 hours from Bangalore so that was very convenient too!

The place was beautiful, river backwater front property , calm and peaceful and just with a lot of greenery. Hospitality and food was just amazing. Would recommend this to anyone. We r usually picky and this place was very nice. Very close to the jungle lodges where safari starts. Would recommend for families

Having heard so much about Kabini Serai, our expectations were high—and the resort did not disappoint! We enjoyed a peaceful and rejuvenating 3-day stay, surrounded by the calm and serene beauty of the property. The food was good, while the staff impressed us with their friendliness and attentiveness. The highlight of our stay was the Waterfront Villa, which offered stunning views of the river. Time seemed to stand still as we gazed at the tranquil waters, soaking in the natural beauty. Birdwatching around the property was a delightful bonus, with so many species adding life to the serene atmosphere. The boat and land safaris were impeccably organized, and we were incredibly fortunate to spot not just elephants but also a tigress during the land safari. Truly a memorable experience!

The entire trip was wonderful, right from the reception to the stay arrangements / cottages, safari trips, food and of course the best part of the stay was the hospitality… would like to mention special thanks to Mr. Praveen, Mahesh (office), Chamaraj, Shekhar, Lakshman, Prabhakar, Mahesh (bar), and Ramakant Singh…. These whole team made the trip a memorable one … thank you Serai🙏
