The wooden lodge is a masterpiece of rustic charm and comfort. Designed with large windows and a spacious balcony, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forest and hills. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. For anyone seeking tranquility, great food, and warm hospitality, Meriyanda is a perfect retreat.

Our family stayed in the Planter's Cottage at Meriyanda, Coorg, for two nights, and the experience was a blend of nature, relaxation, and exceptional dining. The cottage was spacious enough for our group of three (my parents and me), and the private balcony offered the forest view. Reaching the cottages involves a steep 300m path, so using the resort's jeep, as advised by the guard, was a smart choice and I'd recommend the same. Ms. Keerthana at the reception suggested places to visit nearby and coordinated the checkin without any hassle. Food & Dining - The food was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. The chefs prepared dishes on demand, making the dining experience highly personalized. Shreeja, who took care of us at the restaurant, deserves special mention for her exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our meals memorable. We tried several dishes, including the Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai noodles, and momos, all of which were delightful. The momos, paired with a sauce made from estate-grown pepper, stood out. If you're dining here, ask for Shreeja—she’ll ensure an excellent experience. Activities & Amenities - 1. Kote Abbey Waterfall & Kaveri River: Just 4 km from the cottage, this was a peaceful spot with fewer crowds in the morning. Bathing in the Kaveri River and soaking up the sun was a rejuvenating experience. 2. Spa: We tried the resort’s spa services, and the therapist, Tejas, did a commendable job. His recommendations for treatments tailored to our needs added a thoughtful touch. 3. Books at the Lobby: A pleasant surprise was the coffee table book "The Vanishing Kodavas," which delves into the Kodava culture. It’s a must-read if you find yourself at Meriyanda. Room for Improvement - 1. Room Amenities: The in-room offerings were minimal. Being in Coorg, known for its coffee, a coffee filter and locally sourced coffee powder would have been a lovely addition. 2. Initial Stocking: Basic toiletries (like toothbrush/shaving kit) should be available without needing a call to housekeeping. Final thoughts - Meriyanda is a great choice if you’re looking for a peaceful nature retreat. While some aspects of the cottage could be improved, the incredible dining experience, warm hospitality, and beautiful surroundings made the trip worthwhile. We left with happy memories and an eagerness to return—if only for the food alone! :)

My stay at Meriyanda was absolutely amazing! I stayed in the Planters Cottage, and let me tell you—the photos online don’t do justice to how stunning the room or the view actually is. It’s a slice of paradise, surrounded by trees as far as the eye can see. The remote location of the property ensures that you’re fully immersed in nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Winter is undoubtedly the best time to visit as it gets delightfully cold, so don’t forget to pack your warm clothes and monkey caps! A pair of sports shoes is a must too, especially for the nature walks and exploring the expansive property. The hospitality here is exceptional. The staff are warm, friendly, and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. While there’s no mobile network, the Wi-Fi connection is strong and reliable. As expected in a plantation setting, bugs and insects may occasionally find their way inside, but it wasn’t much of an issue for us. The staff responded promptly when a snail wandered into our room—excellent service! The food deserves special mention. Chef Saumya crafts delicious meals and is happy to prepare customized dishes if you let him know in advance. Our server, Pradip, was an absolute gem—so warm and accommodating, making our stay all the more memorable and sweet. Meriyanda is perfect for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature, whether you’re a honeymoon couple, a family, or a traveler seeking some peace and quiet. Highly recommended for those who want to relax, chill, and embrace the beauty of the wild.

Awesome stay experience, in the midst of coffee plantation and forest. The cottage stay provided us a very unique experience away from the city life and the hotel team made our stay warm and comfortable right from the time of booking. I celebrated my wife's birthday here and would recommend as well, as the team made it so personalized and seamless. The nature walk, river walk was so refreshing and relaxing, thanks to Mr. Satish for the personalized experience we had. Loved the food as well and everything is prepared fresh, thanks to the Chef Mr Soumya and his team. Visit this offbeat place in Coorg and you will come back again, thanks to the Meriyanda team! Amazing hospitality!
