Soak up the views during your stay.
This heritage cottage is located in the middle of a verdant, green coffee plantation in Coorg, where we grow robusta coffee inter-planted with pepper & arecanut. Looking for a getaway - limited cell phone coverage, green all around, great views and quiet? This might just be the place for you. We have recently redecorated this cottage (built circa 1907) in honour of "Victoria" Gowramma. To top it off, you can buy the coffee we grow at Vaishnavi Estate besides getting a *free* plantation tour.

The space
This quaint 2-bedroom cottage, built around 1907, was once the home of the estate’s previous owners. We’ve lovingly retained its old-world charm—like the red oxide floors and the low wooden main door—while thoughtfully updating it for today’s comfort. In March 2025, we renovated the bathrooms with premium Toto fittings, added geysers for hot water, and installed a UPS backup for peace of mind.

By design, the cottage has no AC or heater—in winter it stays warmer than outside, and in summer it remains naturally cool. Each bedroom has a double bed, making the cottage perfect for up to 4 guests. (For larger groups, please check out our other cottages on Vaishnavi Estate.)

Here, you’ll enjoy the rare luxury of no mobile network—a true escape into nature—while still having access to high-speed internet when you want it. A fresh homemade breakfast is also included in your stay.

We look forward to welcoming you to this serene slice of estate history in Coorg. 🌿

Guest access
You will have access to the entire property to walk and trek around the large coffee plantation. Interested in having a bonfire? let us know and we can organize it for you. (weather permitting).

While the entire "Victoria Gowramma" cottage is exclusive to you and your group, please be aware that the common areas in the main bungalow are not within your limits. In case you would like to have complete privacy, please reach out to us and we can ensure no one else is there (for a price, of course).

Other things to note
Lunch and dinner will be provided ONLY on request. The reason we ask for advance notice is because food is prepared fresh at our own kitchen (not restaurant!) - and we buy produce fresh - on demand.

For Vegetarians the is charged Rs.250/- per person per meal and non-veg Rs.275/- per person per meal. In case you would like to get pork (pandi curry - coorgi specialty) - let us know in (more) advance so that we can organize the best meats for you (Rs.300 per person).

Please note that LATEST timing for lunch is 2 PM and dinner is 9 PM. Hope you can appreciate this is not like a commercial restaurant and that the caretaker needs to get a good night's sleep - and doesnt work in shifts !! If you request a meal and are not able to make it - you will be charged for the meal (only mentioning this because of our experience in the past).

Please note: As of March 2025 BSNL works best on the property. Airtel is next best (with spotty coverage in parts); Jio is next !
