A JUMBO retreat! ”
My wife & I stayed at The Flying Elephant, in Havelock - it was one of our best decisions ever! The resort is nestled in the far corner of Havelock, right by the Kalapatthar beach. Quite literally a stone's throw away from the beach. The rooms were cozy & comfortable. We stayed in the Plantation Cottage - the rooms are clean & extremely well maintained. The best part of the rooms were the bathrooms and it's fixtures, it's completely in sync with the eco friendly theme. It's beautiful as it is partially outdoor and you truly become one with nature. There are quite a few resident dogs and cats to give you company and if you're a pet lover you’d be welcomed with a LOT of love! A special shout out to Sherry, who manages the property at Havelock. She is such a wonderful manager - during our stay she went beyond her call of duty to ensure our stay was comfortable. Even though it gets dark real soon in Havelock, safety to getting to this resort wasn't a concern at all -you'd love the ride!

Best Service and Location”
Beautiful resort. Loved the location. Secluded from the touristy area amidst jungle and plantation. This is my second time visiting here and I loved it even more this time because of the great service. Sukanto was very kind and helpful and made our stay a very memorable one. 10/10 would visit again.

People were so warm and trustworthy. We were three girls they made us feel so safe and helped us in all the ways they can. Food and ambience was so good and affordable. We felt it like its our second home. It was all so beautiful and an amazing experience in the complete forest stay. It was so near to the beach.

It's an amazing place to stay if you don't have any back problems and you can climb staircase. ”
It's situated at the outskirts within the lap of nature. You get the feeling of staying in Forest area. It's just amazing. The cottage setup is splendid. The secludedness of the place is just serene. The biggest advantage is the access to Kalapatthar beach which is just at perfect walkable distance where you can go and enjoy the sun rise. Advice: do rent a vehicle if you plan to stay here as you won't get local transportation easily. The only con is the very limited food options nearby but if you have a vehicle, it's just an amazing place to get lost in the lap of nature.

Great Unique Stay ”
The stay was really awesome and unique. Do not expect luxuries here like a resort because it's between the jungle and different experiences. They don't have power backup for a day time. But rest everything from rooms to ambience to everything. Anir Ban, the guy who was managing the resort was amazing and supported us on everything. Also the breakfast was great. Overall worth stay.

First choice and the best”
The place is located toward the corner of the Island but a minute away from Kalapathar beach. Excellent atmosphere and we absolutely loved it. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Perfect for rest”
Far away from noisy India. Here in the night the only noise is coming from owls. It is on the end of the world but beach is about 300 meters and there are buses every hour to visit other parts of the island. The staff is perfect. We stayed for one week. Every evening coming back we felt we are going home. Do not forget this is a perfect butsimple jungle cottage, come here only if you like these kind of places.

Worth the visit - Stress free relaxing experience”
Pros: - 2 min walk from Kalapathar beach - House is full of bamboo ( unlike with brick and cement ) - Full of tress around - enjoy the time with nature - Breakfast included is decent - People are nice - manager Manohar is friendly and accomodative Cons: - Resort is around 7 km from market ( centre area) -> Cabs are pretty expensive [ 500 one way], you can take bike for rent ( 400 per day), gets dark by around 5/5:30 pm -> it's a hassle to travel long everytime you need to reach resort specially in the evenings as it dark - There is only one restaurant close by while you need to travel around 4km to reach majority of other restaurant that are close by - Hot water does not come for long Overall, it is all worth the effort of the travel as the place is beautiful, you can be close to the nature, have peaceful amazing relaxing time, can hear birds chirping all the time, specially at night times and mornings when you wake up, it is nice to hear You will have unique experience - Windows are nice with nice view. Lamp on the table looks cute with 2 lamps in the room, you have a chair to sit outside the room, washroom is nice with view to the trees. You can visit beach many a times with convenience as it is 200 metre away - we took amazing walks early in the morning, evenings we sat at a hut facing beach. Beach is good for long walks - you can come across tress cut ( with trunks) on the way that make beautiful views. You see waves all the times.

Flying Elephant Havelock ”
The hut was amazing and well equipped with terrace & deck chairs . The bed was on a mezzanine floor - would not be good for anyone who is slightly unstable the ladder steps are steep. Very clean, laundry service available and amazing complimentary breakfast. Staff are super helpful and can arrange scooters. Downside is you are very far away from all the restaurants and the last bus is at 8.30pm back. The beach is lovely but you need to walk away from the main area. As that is very crowded. No WiFi but this is pretty much all over I think.
