Windermere Estate

Surrounded by cardamom plantation, tea plantations and mountains on all sides, the options available are plenty. This is a real good opportunity for the nature lover to appreciate and take in the beauty of the tea gardens and western ghats.

Planter's Villa Rooms are set amidst the oaks with a perfect vista of surrounding tea-clad hills of the Western Ghats. Each villa being 1,100 sq ft of wood with a private balcony, sitting & dinning, amd a bathroom which opens into a courtyard still leaves you with an enormity of space. Massive, rustic & cozy furniture makes it a synonym of 'Comfort'. The large French windows, only a barrier between you & the birds actually facilitates your link with the landscape. The planter's family which lives in the neighborhood can help you out with local information and other interesting trivia.

Six exquisite cottages owing their names to the vegetation around (Cardamom, Coffee and Vanilla ). The cottages are large having an area of 600 square feet each. Even the king sized beds, the huge bathroom and heavy furniture leave enough space to swing a few hats. The huge window frames do justice to the picture perfect mountains beyond.

Garde Rooms  are four rooms set in verdant gardens with a lavish veranda and typical plantation home interior having a view of the Chithirapuram valley below.
