About Me

Anybody saying \"love travelling\" is cliche in this community! But again, you know how it is...! Have travelled to most parts of India (exept the eastern tips, farthest to have covered being kolkata).

If you are game to drive by road for about 2hours (nearest flight or train) and willing to compromise a bit on a "luxury" experience at the cost of a truly fantastic beach resort, pack your bags and leave now.

A humble beginning (the way it looks) by a 130-acre coffee plantation owner , this resort is gonna go places. Extremely well designed and most thoughtful management. They have made good use of the plains and heights by dividing the resort beautifully into different parts and have created cluster of cottages meant for group stays. This area secludes the group and gives them absolute private space with an EXCLUSIVE tree-top-type restaurant. The management is flexible to let the group use this restaurant, which overlooks the best of the nature\'s bounty, through the day (like they did for the group I travelled with :-) \'Home-cooked food\' might sound cliche - but that is the closest definition for the food served in the resort. Simple no-frill Breakfasts + sumptuos lunch. Dinner can get little creative like in one of the evenings when the resort got all residents together for a bonfire evening. Chatting with the owner re-established our desire to come back for more since he is planning to add a common open pool and HOLD YOUR BREATH four exclusive chalets/cottages with an indoor pool+glass house - a prefect place for a common group! Damn easy on the wallet, for the moment, they might get expensive since it is just a question of time for the word-of-mouth to make them bullish with the popularity growing. Hence make a trip before you think too much. Awesome weekend holiday from Bangalore! Enjoy MADI! More » « Hide

An old guest house converted with exclusive & unique bedrooms. Each room is creatively named after nilgiri trees & plants. The best part about Wallwood is the view from the dining area. A thoughtfully sone couch setaing area by the dining nehances the experience. Service is very personal and the staff is exteremely kind & courteous. The Chef is retained from the guest house management and dishes out sumptuos food tingling your tastebuds. Coonoor, being a very low profile city doesn’t offer any major entertainment options except for the weekend movie you can catch up at the Army base theatre(generally plays a two-month old hindi flick). Wallwood is a perfect getaway if you want to be on your own and don’t want to have a boring "hotel" experience. You leave with a feeling of having taken a break in your own resort. Wish the Tamilnadu Government makes better transportation services and roads, the strain of which sometimes could take away your holiday pleasure. The toy train is veru unreliable as the service is very dependant on the weather & landslides. This makes travelling in rainy season a bit cumbersome. Though Coonoor is afar cry from other pretty hillstations, its proximity to Ooty compensates the dryness. A quick cab drive lands you in Ooty and is a good destination for entertainment, shopping, the botanical garden & horse rides. Neemrana lives upto their expectation and kudos to the management for identifying exclusive properties like Wallwood Garden to give the discerning traveller a good holiday experience. More » « Hide
