Pros: the resort is inside a tea estate. The view from the compound is amazing. However the tea plantation view is not seen from the hotel room. The room was large, the furniture was of good quality wood, providing a traditional ambience. The staff were helpful and polite. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. It is better to opt for the food from the resort if staying there, since nearest restaurants are in valparai town, around 6 kilometres away. Cons: there was a delay of 15-20 minutes for food preparation, for lunch and dinner. Not many activities inside the resort, except badminton and table tennis. The roads leading to the property, and the road inside leading to resort are potholed and without streetlights. So better to reach the resort before sunset and avoid going out before 7am. The area is also known to have presence of wild animals like elephants and bison.
