My first visit post the lockdown . The location of the property is amazing. A little tricky to spot, but if you call them, they will guide you. There is sufficient parking space , the approach road though is very bad in condition.

This wonderful resort is located in Kurumbadi, Burliyar area (On the way to Coonoor from Coimbatore) amidst a spice plantation. A therapeutic feast for the eyes , thick dense forest with hills at a distance and pure clean look of the trees with birds, the native malabari squirrel and of course the monkeys nesting and feasting. It is dotted with numerous Spice and Fruit Trees like nutmeg and jackfruits.

Quite close to the highway so disturbance of truck horns and sometimes noisy trucks when you walk in the property or in the balcony disturbs the tranquility of the place.

The rooms / cottages are spaced out at different levels of the property. Rooms are luxurious, spacious and well stocked up. Phone signals are weak/null but wifi is available. Stayed in the Suite Room quite close to the Reception Area overlooking the Hills and the swimming pool. For rooms further away, there is a Golf Cart to ferry guests to & fro .

The property provides all meals in the package , the restaurant is managed by Mr. Martin , a very efficient person. There is a wide variety of cuisine served but taste could have been better. One of the Chef Mr. Bablu always called upon us to check if anything was required. Infact, we had a complaint with one of the food item and Mr. VASU, the GM here , promptly enquired about it and assured the corrective actions be taken. I saw Mr. Vasu actively engaging with all the guests and smoothly running the entire property. Special mention about the tea shop in the resort, the guy over there amazed us with the speed of service. Hot Bajjis to go with the Masala Chai or Coffee were delivered almost instantly.

There is a gushing stream running through the periphery of the property. We spent a happy morning lazing at the stream & waterfall. The Infinity Swimming Pool added to the great experience. There are lot of activities like spice garden, bird watching, campfire to keep you engaged. However, the SPA being non-operational was a big let-down.

Went for Spice Plantation and Bird Watching tours with the Naturalist - Mr Vishwa. His enthusiasm , subject matter expertise and narration kept us spellbound during the entire activity. Mr Vasu also obliged us with a Night buggy ride and it was quite exciting.

You may try their Souvenir Shop for Home-grown spices.

We just loved the hospitality of the entire staff, they were very humble, courteous and passionate about their work . My experience for 2 nights has been nothing short of amazing !

This was marked as my last visit prior to covid 19.This property established over acres of land amidst a spice plantation in conoor on the way to Ooty.I would suggest atleast a 2 nights stay here instead of staying in Ooty.The people there truly believes in Atith Devo Bhawah.All cottages well equipped and specially decorated with home grown flowers an leaves.The up and down roads within the property leads u to the infinity pool on one side to the restaurant on the other.The kids can enjoy in the play room.The restaurant serves authentic South Indian as well as other Nationals cuisines and trust me every item that they serve are a yum.The property has a spa too.The best part of our stay was the Spice Tour in the evening which enriched our knowledge on the various spices that we consume but the plants we are unaware of.In a nutshell I must say that its a home somewhere away from the vicinity of hustle and bustle which can energize u for a new day.

A long delayed review but better late than never. We visited for two nights in December as part of a longer road trip in the Nilgiris,our first trip in nine months post lockdown. We also stayed for 2 nights in their other property Teanest.
Nestled in a thick forest amidst many tall spice & fruit trees with a backdrop of mountains, the gushing stream running through the property paints a pretty picture. Trees laden with ripe nutmeg, jackfruits of all sizes, figs,durians etc. all add to the charm. The cottages are on various levels & set far apart in the foliage to ensure full privacy. Our cottage had a spectacular view, a view that many members of the staff told us was the best in the property. We were offered an extremely spacious suite which we turned down in favour of our sunny balcony with the stunning view !
The cottage itselfwas well appointed & brightly done up with a lovely bathroom which too had a great view from the tub.There was even a hammock strung between two big trees down our path to the cottage.
There is a buggy servive to ferry guests to & fro but being very fit people we didnt require its services. We just walked everywhere. Taking an evening walk with their naturalist we learnt quite a bit about various spices & their origins & an early morning birding walk yielded a variety of pretty birds & the Indian Giant squirrel with a long bushy tail. We spent a happy morning lazing at the stream & waterfall.
The ever smiling & courteous staff were all very attentive & their GM Mr. Vasu extremely heplful & kind.
This is the perfect place to unwind & recharge !
