Dining Experience
The resort's multi-cuisine restaurant features a stone facade verandah and serves Syrian Christian cuisine using local spices, meats, and vegetables. Meals are prepared with recipes handed down through generations. The banquet area accommodates events with views of the plantation surroundings.
Resort Activities
Guests can walk through tea and cardamom plantations, visit the cardamom smoke-house, or swim in the valley-bottom pool with umbrella-shaded loungers. The property includes gazebos with wrought iron furniture for lounging. Electric carts transport guests to cottages along the hillside. Nearby Gavi offers trekking, bird watching, and sightings of elephants, nilgiri thar, and lion-tailed macaques.
Location Details
Set amidst a tea and cardamom plantation along the Thekkady-Munnar road, the resort is 3 km from Vellimala and 4.5 km from Thumpachi Calveri Samuchayam. Nearby attractions include the Idukki Arch Dam against wooded hills, Parumthumpara cliff with forest views, and Calvary Mount (34 km away) offering views of the Western Ghats and Tamilnadu plains.
Meeting Facilities
The conference area, named 'Nattukoottam,' accommodates up to 300 people theater-style and includes state-of-the-art conferencing equipment. The space is set above the restaurant with stone-paved pathways connecting to other areas of the property.
“Nestled amid spice plantations at 1219 meters above sea level, this resort emphasizes nature, wellness, and adventure, close to Periyar National Park and Chellarkovil Waterfalls; tree houses and honeymoon suites offer unique architectural charm alongside wellness treatments and outdoor activities. However, one guest reported issues, including unreliable Wi-Fi and a lack of transport options on the extensive grounds, which may not justify the room rates. For travelers prioritizing tranquility and unique experiences, it warrants consideration, but potential drawbacks should be weighed.”
