Crest-of-the-hill colonial calm

Vanakkam! Welcome to Nightingale Annexe. Teanest Nightingale Annexe surveys the verdant landscape below with the air of a monarch — colonial contours topped with a pitched red-tiled roof make a pleasing contrast to the all-enveloping greenery.

The cosy four-room Nature Stay is intimate and a throwback to a time when life was lived in the slow lane. Live life, naturally! Each room is tastefully furnished with subtle colonial touches and has a double bed and period furniture.

Our rooms carry names of endemic Nilgiri birds — woodpecker, barbet, drongo and more. All rooms feature large French windows and strong in-room amenities for restful Kotagiri nights.

The Perch — multi-cuisine restaurant

Welcome to The Perch, your favourite multi-cuisine restaurant at Teanest Nightingale Annexe — a haven of warmth and cosiness sure to enchant you.

Ambiance & menu: The ambiance sets the stage, but the menu steals the spotlight. Chefs have crafted a multi-cuisine selection from international classics to local delicacies — every dish a masterpiece of flavour and presentation. Time slows down, worries fade, and the view outside offers a serene escape from everyday hustle. Dining harmonises history, nature and culinary excellence.

Nuts and Seeds — seven-course raw journey: "Let food be thy medicine; thy medicine shall be thy food." Heating food destroys nutrients and natural enzymes — experience uncooked, unprocessed farm-fresh food through the birder's dictionary: Lifer (juliennes of red cabbage, farm fresh broccoli and bell pepper with ginger honey vinaigrette); Local Patch (sun-dried tomato with almonds, sesame seeds and dates); Birds call burritos (vegetable burritos with berries and sprouts wrapped in marinated spinach); Twitcher (five-day-old farm fresh sprouts with fresh coconut milk with honey or palm sugar); Slash (coconut curried peanut soup with broccoli, spinach, leeks, ginger and homemade herbs); Fall (vegetable wraps with chef's special sauce, farm vegetables, sprouts and apple cider vinegar); Warble (avocado and chocolate with coconut cream).

Special dining: Tailored to your preferences — ₹500 excluding taxes per person (veg/non-veg). Includes soup or salad, sorbet, main course and dessert; extra items charged per portion.

Dining settings: Lawn — candlelit dinner. Porch — romantic dinner with tea-estate view. Perfect for romantic evenings and special occasions; subject to availability and weather.
