Windermere Estate, the British cottage ensconced amidst the serene settings of Annamalai hills is a perfect holiday destination. We booked our package one month in advance from Antilog Vacations and were impressed by the hospitality.Getting a travel agent is a good option to get concessions on hotel and sightseeing rates it was indeed one of the best vacations that I...

When the owner (semi-retired opthamologist) is part of the welcoming team, you know that they take the business seriously. By word of mouth rather than aggressive internet marketing. Not cheap but if you want a throwback to the colonial planter's era, Windermere will do it for you. They have a guide, Ancel, who conducts 2 treks everyday. The meals are... More

Our second stop on our two week Kerala trip, took us to Munnar, and Windermere Estate. Before starting to write this review, I want to say that I don’t blame the hotel as much as I do our travel agent The Travel Planners, as we requested for luxury accommodation - and this was everything but...! Arriving in Munnar from Cochin... More

Beautiful location, lovely rooms, helpful staff (we were not in great shape on arriving and they really helped us get better). The food is not a la carte but you are given traditional Keralan food and lots of it. Interesting dishes that we didn't see anywhere else and all well prepared and delicious. Dining room is well designed and there... More

Small property, less advertisement, clean and spacious rooms/ bathrooms. They have their own cardamom estate , do take the tour, its nice. The dinner deal is expensive and I dont think its any great. Better try outside local restaurants More

Great staff who could not do enough for one. Arriving too late for the 'tour of the estate' the COO Sam kindly took an hour of his time to show us around. The food is as you would expect for a fixed menu it was not too hot, not too cold and not too good but pleasant if a little... More

I have always dreamed of visiting this part of the world. Munnar, once a popular summer resort town of the British remains some short distance from Windermere Estate. Set amongst the dramatic mountain scenery of the Western Ghats and some of the most elevated tea plantations in the world, the working cardamon estate belonging to this interesting property is a...

Located in Tea Country in Kerela ,this hotel has some lovely views of the surrounding area. Happened to be there Christmas eve. There was a nice buffet and entertainment from an Indian,as in India,country western singer. Travel is always full of surprises. The room was adequate but you couldn't regulate the shower. Either too hot or too cold. Thus no... More

The grounds at this resort are it's highlight! The rooms are pretty basic, but exploring the hills and the plantation is so much fun. Sadly the region was on strike while we were there, so we didn't get to do any activities, but walking around and taking pictures in nature was fun. It was a nice place to relax. More

The location and the views from this hotel - on a hill/mountain overlooking Munnar and the mountains around it - are simply stunning - almost reason enough to stay here. I should point out that not staying in Munnar proper is a plus as the town is busy without the advantage of too many interesting sights. Generally, Windermere has a... More
