The Sinna Dorai bungalows are a tea planter’s home, a quiet birthday or anniversary celebration is fine. Loud music and boisterous parties do not fit in.
Sinna Dorai’s Bungalows are from a bygone age. The wi-fi is variable, but you can connect with the birds and the animals. There is no TV but you’ll see astonishing vistas of valleys and hills. There is no infinity pool but you can immerse yourself in the local streams. You live in homes of British-era plantation managers, so expect the comforts of a home instead of a modern hotel. It carries a charm all its own!
For your safety our staff will accompany you on your morning and evening walks at a nominal guide fee.
We have detailed instructions on each bungalow page. Click here: Valparai (Tamil Nadu), Mangorange, (Tamil Nadu), Kadamane (Karnataka)
Plantation food is famous for its simplicity. Expect local, homely but flavorful dishes.
We love animals but to keep your pets safe from the wildlife, we don’t allow them on the estate.
You can explore sightseeing points around the estate on the bungalow pages. Click here to check the activities on Valparai (Tamil Nadu), Mangorange, (Tamil Nadu), Kadamane (Karnataka)
