Resort Overview
Imagine a cottage right in the middle of a coffee estate in Coorg, surrounded by fruit orchards and coffee plantations, on a lush green hill. If the idea conjures up a tempting vision in your mind – yield to the temptation and spend a few days at Hillyside Homestay, which lies on the Hillyside Coffee Plantation belonging to the Thammana family.
The estate is a century old, and the Thammanas own a lot of coffee plantations in the area. The family takes good care to ensure that Hillyside Homestay provides the perfect stay, and its members are quick to rectify any issues that come up with any facility at these cottages.
The cottages were originally built as an ashram for a Swamiji, and were later modified and modern amenities were put in. They still retain their secluded, tranquil, and pro natural atmosphere that once appealed to the Swamiji.
