Orange
County - Coorg
The 48 Tudor cottages present a picture of a serene settlement, of gently smoking chimneys that exist in an eco-friendly world without fences. The names, derived from the plants growing near the cottage groups, are equally picturesque - Coffee Cluster, Mango Cluster, Palm Cluster... A granite-cobbled pathway leads to the brilliantly whitewashed lodges with dark wood rafters and layered roof of hay packing.
A picturesque substitute to the old-world charm that seems to have been motivated by the textured exterior of the original English style. But replicating the inspiration had its difficulties. The complicated procedure of raising mud structures gave way to a more convenient brick and mortar building that later took on the appearance of a Tudor cottage. A cemented roof is necessary for the basic waterproofing of the house. The hay layers packed on top of it and the dark varnished wood rafters are more aesthetic than functional. Divided into various levels of luxury and comfort, some of the cottages are blessed with a picture - perfect brick-lined fireplace.
Hunter's Lodge, the bar, is a cosy nook with the warmth of rough
textured furniture, dark wood beams lining the walls and inviting
large leather chairs to sink in nursing your preferred poison. The
heavy décor of the room has added character thanks to the generous
line up of animal skulls and horns recovered from the surrounding
Dubare forest.
The Pool villas display a classic Iyengar architecture with the
porous vetakal lining the area surrounding it. The furniture and the
whole look in the villas have been geared to replicate the rustic
opulence of the Kodava architecture. The high beds, fluted pillars,
wooden benches, cornices, chairs with turned legs and cane weavings,
charming study table, chest of drawers and ornamental mirrors become
a part of the old-world ambience. They are complemented perfectly by
the heavy wooden doors and brass artifacts sprinkled tastefully
across the room. Each of these villas opens into its own private
backyard that has an expansive pool, a covered patio and a wire-mesh
creeper-covered wall that overlooks a part of the forest.
