The family’s love for the Nilgiris shines through in the vibrant garden, which blooms year-round. The only seasonal flowers here are the roses that weave between the ivy on the arches.

This space captures the true meaning of the villa’s name, “Hideaway.” It represents a celebrity’s escape from the rest of the world to a beautiful, tranquil Eden.

GUEST EXPERIENCE

We had a fantastic time! The staff were always smiling and amiable. Special mention to the excellent food. The place is amazing, comfortable, and made our anniversary so special. Thank you so much for that. The Kerala-style cuisine was also enjoyed very much.

Amazing place. Beautiful garden with a sweet smell of flowers. The staff is excellent, very courteous & hospitable. Food was delicious. Nice bonfire in the night. Large living room. The drawing room has great comfy sofas & a nice, classy fireplace. The Gun House as a bar was the icing on the cake. Overall, a wonderful experience!!!

An interesting place, very nice garden to sit peacefully and read in. The bedrooms are quiet, stocked with soaps etc needs. Good food. Barbeque mutton was great, so was fish fry. Jomon was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for having us.

Our experience at “Hiawatha”, Ooty cannot be put into words. As cliché as it may seem, our time here has been nothing but bliss. The crew here are simply selfless, showering us with gratuitous amounts of hospitality, making us feel right at home within the dew-kissed hills of Ooty.
