Windermere River House

Windermere River House

Located on the banks of the Periyar River in the lush Western Ghats, Windermere River House offers a tranquil retreat. This converted planter’s bungalow has just 5 rooms, ensuring an intimate and peaceful stay with personalized service. Embracing its heritage and the surrounding natural beauty, the property invites guests to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with nature through thoughtfully curated experiences.

The rooms beautifully blend traditional style with simplicity, featuring neutral colors, abundant natural light, and breathtaking views. The estate's most striking aspect is its natural beauty, set on two acres of lush greenery that invites exploration. The vibrant gardens are alive with flowers, birds, and butterflies, all encircled by evergreen forests, creating a serene retreat within one of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. The swimming pool, situated beside the yoga pavilion, overlooks the river, providing an idyllic spot for relaxation. Dining here is a culinary delight, featuring innovative dishes crafted from fresh, seasonal produce. Enjoy leisurely strolls through the manicured gardens, unwind in the serene atmosphere, or take a refreshing dip in the pool. Outside the property, a variety of activities await, including kayaking on the Periyar River, cycling, and guided walks that explore the local village and nearby attractions, such as the Thattekad Bird Sanctuary.
