About us:
When you step into the portals of Orange County, Coorg, you leave one world behind, and step seamlessly into another: the bygone era of the Gentleman Planter, ensconced in the cocooned comforts of a lush plantation paradise, perfumed with the subtly intoxicating aroma of coffee and spice.

Bordered by the legendary river Cauvery, and surrounded by virginal forests, this 300 acre working plantation resort perched at a height of 800m, gives you the most luxurious introduction yet, into the deepest secrets of this mystic mountain. Come, allow the spirit of the land to infuse your very being, and coax you gently on a personal voyage of discovery.

 

Accommodation: Coffee, Spice, and Plantation life. What better way to truly enjoy the 'Orange County Experience' than by letting oneself go in the sinfully luxurious Plantation Style Cottages and Kodava styled Private Pool Villas spread in delightful clusters around the 300 acre working estate.
While the cottages offer you a glimpse into the privileged life of the gentleman planter, the private pool villas are inspired by ethnic Kodava architecture and offer the ultimate in luxurious seclusion.

Whichever category of accommodation you choose, you can rest assured that no expense nor effort has been spared to provide the finest lodging experience in the world.

Considering the vast amounts of energy required, we have not provided for heated pools or jacuzzis at the resort. Thank you for helping us meet our Responsible Tourism objective of keeping our ecological footprints small.
