Nestled along the serene banks of the Meenachil River, we invite you to embark on a captivating journey into the past. Step into a living testament to history, a 205-year-old mansion that stands as a true marvel. The property built in 1815 has been handed down generations retaining its original ownership.
This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an invitation to embrace the essence of home, far removed from the impersonal confines of a conventional hotel room. The expansive property spans four acres, adorned with indigenous fruits, vegetables, and a tapestry of pepper, coffee, ginger, turmeric, tropical fruits, and Nutmeg trees, offering a feast for the eyes and soul alike. A sanctuary tailored to your yearning for unspoiled natural beauty, steeped in the embrace of history and culture. The architectural splendor of the house, the allure of its historically adorned rooms, and the legacy of its furnishings extend a heartfelt welcome, inviting you to step back into a time of unhurried bliss. As an added indulgence, partake in traditional Ayurvedic massages or partake in a serene private yoga session skillfully administered by trained practitioners amidst the verdant greens of the property. This is more than accommodation; it’s an immersion into an era of grace and charm.
