Retro Vibes Homestay-Ooty

Retro Vibes Homestay – Ooty 

Nestled amongst the Nilgiri hills in Tamil Nadu, Ooty has nature’s abundant blessings. Dotted with sprawling tea gardens, winding country lanes, scenic waterfalls, and charming colonial architecture, it is one of the favorite hill destinations from Bangalore and Coimbatore. This well maintained old British Cottage is located in very peaceful surroundings close to nature and is just 3 kms from the main town. The reasonable distance from the city center makes it ideal for a peaceful stay with site seeing and food options at a few minutes driving distance. 

There are 2 units, each with an attached bathroom and sitting areas. One unit has a well-equipped kitchen as well that the guests can use on a nominal extra cost. Wake up to the chirping of the birds and enjoy your morning cup watching them sing. The stay has a character of its own and gives a vintage vibe.
