The house is set in the beautiful coffee plantations and forest of the Palani Hills in Tamil Nadu, a 2-hour drive from Madurai.
Along side the guestrooms the main house comprises a library, sitting room and dining room. Each of the spacious and stylish bedrooms can be accessed through the main courtyard as well as a private exit into the gardens.
The hotel is surrounded by wonderful scenery and one is free to explore the coffee plantations, rolling hills, visit the natural pools and waterfalls, or take a glimpse of local village life.
This is also an area that is popular with birdwatchers.
