We came to know about this place by a colleague who raved about this gem. Having high expectations we reached here and it didn't disappoint. Situated just before entering main Madikeri, you won't understand the scale of the property when entering from highway. Once the staff gets you checked in from the viewing point, you'll truly understand how massive this property is. Spanning 125 acres you'll see 3-4 lakes within the property and lush green view everywhere. You would expect property of this size to have more than 100 rooms atleast but it barely has 45 rooms/suites in total. If you like walking and to be in nature, this is the place to stay. Although this expansivess may prove to be slightly cumbersome if you want to go to the main dining area or main gate from your rooms. We saw many young guests unwilling to walk even though it was barely 7 min walks to main dining and activities areas. For elderly and senior citizens, these longer than normal distances may become a serious handicap. While they have a fully fleged cart service within, they take around 15-20 mins to come each time you call them. So you should plan accordingly depending who you are coming with. Coming to the rooms, we took the wooden cottage with forest view and it was pretty spacious and roomy. The view was good although I felt the lake view might have been better. Nonetheless, the room was ample big and spacious at the price point. The main dining area was around 7 min walk from our room and the staff was very friendly and great. There also was a big coffee area with a great view where evening coffee and snacks were served. The food at the breakfast spread was good and served variety of South and North indian items. However, the dinner spread was okayish as we felt there could have been more local Coorg delicacies options provided. Tastewise and quality wise the food was great, no complaints there. The coffee area was also a great place to hangout and just enjoy some light snacks and coffee. As part of the overall package, there were certain walking tours also available on the property itself. The bird watching walk was great as the guide helped the group point out and identify different kinds of local and rare bird flying around in the area. The coffee walk was also good the guide explained the gistory of coffee and how it came to India centuries ago. There were also many coffee plants scattered all around the property and how to distinguish amongst them. Overall it was a great stay being nestled in the nature. Good food, great service and very close to the city for sightseeing. Definitely worth staying and more importantly revisiting. 10/10!
