This exquisite place is right out of an English book of the 1950s! It does slow down time and maintains the look of a much more quaint era. A look that is fast fading in times of modern resorts and hotels. It is a child of love, maintained painstakingly by Mr Shashi and his team. We fell in love with the following and the only regret is that we couldn't stay longer here

I cannot fully express how peaceful and restorative it was. Walks in and around the coffee plantations are filled with birds and really serene nature. The food was a terrific surprise at each meal and the late afternoon tea/coffee event always resulted in something unexpectedly pleasant occuring... We really loved this homestay. It's worth travelling abroad just to spend time here, and to receive a personal battery recharge you weren't even aware you needed...

School Estate is a paradise of Coorg. It is what truly makes Coorg, The Scotland of India. The cottages are as cozy and well maintained a Victorian era castle. The caretaker Mr. Shashidhar Ghade is just a genius with his choice of arrangements and his service is exemplary. The chef is known for exquisite dishes and look out for his craft which comes alive with fresh desserts created uniquely for every meal.

School Estate is nestled deep inside a coffee plantation. The greenery all around, the chirping of the birds, and, absolute peace and calm throughout the property made it an ideal place for us to take some time out from the hustle bustle of life. An ideal place for some downtime - you can go on long walks/runs through the plantation or just sit and relax in the cottage or the lovely garden that is impeccably maintained at the property

An absolute treasure of a property. It’s just two cottages in the midst of a glorious coffee plantation. The property has a beautifully manicured garden and is constantly buzzing with bees and birds. It’s the perfect place to just breathe again and reset.

My partner and I stayed at the School Estate in Coorg for two nights and three days in May, and it was one of the most wonderful experiences we’ve had. Although I’m originally from Coorg, I was genuinely impressed by the exceptional hospitality, service, and delicious food we enjoyed there. The service was truly outstanding, and I highly recommend School Estate for anyone planning a stay.
