The architecture and decor of the bungalow is a reflection of the colonial plantation homes from late 19th century. High ceilings, sprawling spaces, fireplaces in the rooms, well-preserved vintage furniture, wide open verandas to enjoy the green surrounds, stone walls and ample use of wood give the characterful look and feel to the bungalow till date. Manicured gardens lined with weather-specific flowers and freshly cut grass cocooned by them is a sight typical of plantation bungalows. But that by no means, is a reflection of discomfort. The rooms are equipped with modern comforts and ensuite bathrooms.

There are nine rooms in the sprawling estate house. The rooms are extremely spacious, with vintage furniture, fireplaces, reading desk and modern comforts. The charm lies in keeping the connecting with nature intact at all times. To that, the rooms deliver well, as they look over the bountiful green hillsides all around. Since all the rooms are part of the bungalow, it is an excellent option for a large family or group to take up. Even if you are sharing it with other guests, there is ample space and privacy since the bungalow is huge and has ample nooks and corners to enjoy in one’s own private space.

Dining

Exceptional food is the highlight of Kadamane Estate. The food is a mix of Continental, Indian and local specialities made from freshly sourced ingredients and veggies. Meals are an elaborate three-course affair, with the desserts as the highlight for anyone with a sweet tooth. The common dining area is reserved for all meals with guests sharing stories and interacting over meals.

Kadamane’s tea experiences and massive acres of complete forest is a big plus for anyone in love with the outdoors. A 4X4 ride over boulder-ridden muddy trails, hikes, bird watching strolls and even a trip to an unnamed secret natural pool fill up the days with ample to do. Of course, you can subscribe to the ‘do nothing’ routine with abandon and catch up on a good book or just listen to the sounds of nature from the bungalow itself.

Perfect For

Doing nothing, or being the adventurer in the estate. There is ample to explore and learn on the estate where tea planting and processing, and nature goes.

Operational Status

Sinna Dorai's Kadamane is open all year.

The bungalow is a stellar example in responsible tourism. The community is at the core of many activities at Sinna Dorai, Kadamane – especially where the families of estate workers are concerned. The hospitality  for guests is gentle, warm and unobtrusive. Acres of land left without cultivation for preserving nature is the most integral part of the responsible tourism mandate for the bungalow.
