A single-booking colonial cottage preserved in the quiet heights of Ooty, offering absolute privacy, wood-fire warmth, and slow-living among private tea gardens.

Preserved History

Colonial Stone and Hearth

Built over a century ago, the cottage preserves its original stone fireplaces and hand-polished timber beams. Heirloom brass accents catch the amber glow of wood-fire warmth each chilly evening.

We host only one group at a time, ensuring the sprawling lawns, the cozy hearth, and the quiet mountain air remain entirely yours for a slow-paced retreat.

Nilgiri Slow-Living

Kitchen and Verandah

Our kitchen prepares slow-cooked Nilgiri classics using fresh herbs gathered from the backyard garden. Mornings begin with estate-grown Nilgiri tea served on the verandah as the valley mist slowly clears.

Every meal is tailored to your group's pace, made with local ingredients and served by a crackling fire or under the shade of ancient garden trees.
