About This Property

Discover a Colonial Home Stay, a tranquil retreat 8.5 km from Ooty town. Indulge in evenings with outdoor BBQ, bonfire, and homemade delicacies at this former British family residence. Wake up to the soothing sounds of birds and fresh air — an ideal getaway for a serene experience.

The property has a lot of antique collections, which give it a unique charm. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the necessary utilities. The interiors reflect the property's heritage — high ceilings, period furniture, and a fireplace that warms the soul on Nilgiris nights.

Explore Kalhatty Waterfalls (3 km), Pykara Lake (15 km), and the nearby Pine Forest — a quieter, less-touristy side of the Nilgiris that most visitors miss entirely.

“I had a wonderful stay! The place was peaceful, clean, and conveniently located close to Pykara Lake and the Pine Forest. The host was very responsive, and the caretaker was equally helpful throughout our stay. The property has a lot of antique collections, which gave it a unique charm. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the necessary utilities.”

“The stay was really good with lots of plants surrounding us. The caretaker can help with entry/exit through the checkpost. Highly recommend coordinating with him in advance.”

“We had a comfortable stay at the beautiful bungalow. Would certainly recommend to our friends. Douglas, the caretaker, was very helpful. We enjoyed the fireplace as well.”

“Arthu is a beautiful soul in and out. From the day I enquired about the place to the day our trip was over, she proactively kept us updated on the weather, stay and things to do to get into Nilgiris. The place has such an old world charm and we loved every minute we stayed there. 10/10 would recommend.”

— Shaijin · September 2025

“Beautiful Colonial house with the photos doing complete justice to what we got. The caretaker Douglas was super helpful right from check-in to check-out. He gave us local recommendations. Perfect place for a family to experience this colonial style house. Fireplace in the house is super cosy. All amenities provided also very spot on.”
