Tucked between the gently rolling tea plantations and the lush green forests of Kerala's western mountains, The Windermere Estate is set on a 60 acre (25 hectare) cardamom estate. Perched high on a hill, this charming retreat offers exceptional views of tea clad hills and dense rain forests. Rooms, cottages and villas are set in breathtaking gardens and feature typical plantation home interiors. Spacious and light, with rustic furniture, massive windows open out onto scenic valleys, rolling hills and rugged mountains.
With its old world, wooden pillars and old fashioned fireplace, The Barn offers a combination of traditional Malayali, Oriental and continental cuisine, with a heavy focus on family recipes. In the evenings, barbeques and campfires may be held outdoors, in the shelter of a boulder overhang. Built in native Kerala style and offering wooden blocks as furniture, The Hut serves snacks and light meals in a rustic atmosphere. Guests can explore the magnificent surroundings on day treks in the surrounding cardamom and tea plantations or venture further on a guided trek into the mountains.
