We begined our Vacation from Orange County Resort in Coorg District of Karnataka. Its about 195 Kms. from Mnaglore Airport. Resort set out amidst coffee and spice plantation with Dubare Forest Reserve adjoining and River Cauvery flowing by, was a perfect holiday destination. The Resort built in 16th century Tudor style with thatched roofs, chimneys, wooden beams and cobble stone pathways, reminding visitors of strong association with British Coffee planters of prei-independence era, spread over 25 acres(resort area) on total area of about 300 acres of planation, is a wonderful place certainly exhotic holiday destination.

The resort well connected by road from Manglore Banglore & about 5 hrs drive from Manglore is an ideal location, amidst dense forest entirely pollution free environment has certainly charm of its own. Being in January the weather was perfect and was most matching the set-up. Though the road from Manglore was bumpy and in pathetic condition, the fatigue of travel just vanished on entering the estate. The resort is located very ideally in plantation estate, is well maintained 25 acre property in 300 acre estate. The style and design in terms of landscape is very nice setting for a excellent location to unwind, relax and laze around.

We were wrmly welcomed at the reception on arrival with fresh orange juice and cold towel. We only thought that RCI accredited resort whould provide fresh towels according to the weather conditions and in winter evening should give warm towels - nothing critical but just a thought that came to our mind.

We were guided to our County Cottage by Buggie and what should I say . . . . I have no words . . . the cottage was just perfect in terms of cleanliness, decor, maintenance, availability of facilities and to top it on our cottage also had a varandah with sit-out opening into lawns and with a view of the forest/duck pond behind. The room was large and gave a feeling of warmth, perfectly decorated and no piece of furniture coming right on you in term of size or decor. We thought of taking a shower to freshen up as also to vouch for the toilet facilities. I could say that the Resort was certainly living up to its mark.

We had not asked for any room service during our stay but service in terms of attendance by reception, restaurant, house keeping was attentive, immediate, courtious and was excellent.

We had our breakfast on all occassions and lunch/dinner except once at Granary Restaurant, which was set out in buffet style, which was good with some of the local cuisine being added to the menu. However, we felt that the place like Organe County where one is coming to experience world beyond every day life, they should add more of local delicacies and reduce the overdo of chinese dishes. The desert spread was also wonderful and the food on the whole was delicious with elaborate menu. On one occassion we had our dinner at Peppercorn a speciality restaurant - in a Tent set out on the banks of River Cauvery - woh it was simply great - candle light dinner full of wine glass/kababs/sizzlers/main course/deserts - order anything from the set ala catre menu. The food here was simply great and perfect in all respects. Wonderful! Hats off to Orange County!!!

The Pulper the acitivity centre is actively keeping guests busy in exploring the surroundings as well as entertaining them. We attended Forest Trek and Platation Tour conducted by them, Forest Trek in particular was simply great fun. In the evening there were games, bonfire, folk dance etc. and there was a good liabrary sit out which keep you busy and happy all the time.

The Resort being in the plantation area itself there is no need to go out as you can venture in and explore within the campus spread over 300 acres. I would say on the whole the Resort is out of this world for people like us who live a very stressful and hectic life in metro city like Mumbai.

We found the place to be worthy of its cost to unwind, recharge your batteries, in a lovely weather, picture perfect surroundings well maintained by the Management which is vey focussed with guest satisfaction as its motto, is certainly worth visiting again and again. After 3 days we very reluctantly left the place for our onward destination.

Keep it up and our best wishes to Orange County, Coorg!!!!!

Best Experience: On one occassion we had our dinner at Peppoercorn - a speciality Restruarant which was certainly out of the world experience. In a Tent set out on the banks of River Cauvery - the food served here was very delicious and perfect setting for candle light dinner.

Worst Experience: We thought on a winter eveing it would have been better if we were welcomed with warm towel instead of cold towel - nothing sort of bad experience but just a suggestion.

I have tried to summarise the stay below

Best Experience: a) The Food that was provided for breakfast was excellent. It had was home made
and had a very distinct local flavour

b) The toilets are relatively clean and manageable ( See my comments on the rest of the building)

c) The building had a UPS power backup which came in handly during the power shutdowns

Worst Experience: a) There are two buildings in the Green Cover resort. One is called the \'Heritage\' Building in which we stayed. We were told at the time of booking that this was a old building, we took a decision based on the photos we were shown. But the building is very old with very weak walls and dirty floors

b) The heritage building appeared to been hardly maintained. As we entered , there was a pungent smell ( as it appeared that windows were never opened and fresh air allowed in) , floors appeared to have never been mopped, one dead cockroach in the dining table and a very dirty kitchen ( Photos enclosed)

c) We were 5 of us and required 2 bedrooms. Only one bedroom had a very old table fan. On Day 1 the caretakler told us that this building required only one Fan and only when we complained to the Travel agency the next day , the second table fan came ( We went in Summer and we required a fan)

d)One of the toilets did not have a proper lock and everybody had to horne their singing skills to inform their occupany of the toilet

e) Most of the switch boards were hanging out of the walls which made it challenging to use any electrical appliances. We were told by the caretaker that this was due the fact that the old walls are unable to support the Switch boards. You need to have really stong batteries for your mobiles !!!!!!

• Stay at Coorg the Kodava Way, Undoubtedly true value for money

If you can afford stay here! Undoubtedly true value for money, even one night you
will feel in heaven! the resort is planned like an ideal Indian village with all the modern urban amenities.You will feel properly pampered.
If you are a nature lover and love comfort and style, this is your destination. I
like Coorg as compared to other hill stations in South India. You stay here you will love Coorg! to fullest.... Endorse the complementary activities that this resort offers, go for birding early morning! forest walk! and enjoy the fresh cane juice they provide after the forest walk it just rejuvenates the body, the guides are well trained and they lend you binoculars without any cost. swimming in the pool overlooking the lake or walking into the woods in the coffee plantation or just a morning walk would be awesome!

• Good experience

"Dream perfect" destination & "Picture perfect" property! If one needs to learn about hospitality, learn it from each member working at "Orange County". It is just amazing how each one of them is so motivated that every guest feels s/he is on Cloud 9, when at Orange County.

Best Experience: The overall experience was a highlight of our holiday.

1. But to name a few, the Relationship Manager who was attached with us stayed in touch with us for our driving journey from Mysore to Coorg ensuring that we are on schedule and have not lost our way at any point in time. She knew exactly when we were arriving at Orange County.
2. When you walk around Orange County, each and every staff member wishes you with a warm smile, whether or not s/he knows what room type you are staying in. We wondered how with such a huge property to upkeep, can they stay so inspired & motivated.
Hats off to the management & the employees!! Cheers!!

Worst Experience: None at all.

It was an out of world experience. We felt on the top of the world. The ambience is too good. Hospitality uncomparable. Food yummy. Bird watching & tree plantation sight seeing extra ordinary. The method of explaining was too good.

Best Experience: As soon as hotel people came to know that our family have been deprived of entering the swimming pool due to not wearing swimming costumes, the manager personally visited our suit and duly appoloiged for the same. The greatest surprise was that manager along with other hotel staffs brought complimentary cake with wording "sorry". It was heart touching.

Worst Experience: We with children went to swimming pool. But we were refused entry just because we did not have swimming costumes.
