The two cottages are fronted by a verandah lined with framed photos and illustrations educating visitors about the unique culture, flora and fauna of Coorg besides interesting nuggets on the sacred Talakaveri, thookbolcha (traditional lamp) and Kodava dances. Traditional cane baskets of various shapes woven by local artisans add to the decor.

There’s an exclusive bonfire circle outside the house and a covered bar lounge & grill. The altitude blesses it with hill station like weather. It is always cool and gets nippy during the thunderous monsoon downpour and the chill of winter, engulfing the place in mist every morning. The view is shrouded in mist that clears just as suddenly to reveal dark clumps of trees in the valley, mountains in the horizon and a view of Mercara (Madikeri) on a clear day! At night, Mercara’s distant lights twinkle like fireflies! Summers are a breeze. The custom burnt Mangalore roof tiles keep the place cool in summers and warm during winters. Check-in is anytime after 11 am and there’s ample parking on the premises.
