Windermere Estate
★★★★☆
Windermere Estate is a family-run resort set on a working cardamom and coffee plantation in Pallivasal, just outside Munnar. Just eighteen rooms are spread across plantation villas, cottages, and garden rooms. Red cedar accents and simple, tasteful furnishings run through every category. Many rooms open onto private sit-outs facing the estate's terraced hills. Daily life here follows the rhythm of the plantation. A guided walk each afternoon takes guests through the cardamom fields and up to caves on the property. From Windermere's viewpoint, the 360-degree outlook takes in tea gardens, misty hills, and the estate below. Food is served across a handful of characterful spaces. Pine Top handles everyday meals, The Barn hosts fine dining, and Boulder Garden is reserved for outdoor barbecues. The Hut offers snacks and tea through the day. Fire pits and hammocks are dotted through the gardens for quieter evenings. For travellers who want Munnar's tea-estate scenery without a large hotel footprint, Windermere Estate delivers exactly that. Its plantation setting, family ownership, and genuinely local rhythm make it one of the hill station's most distinctive stays.

Garden Room
queen · Sleeps 2 · 350 sq ft
Windermere's Garden Rooms sit closest to the estate's cultivated gardens, each with its own private sit-out. The 350-square-foot room is simply furnished, with red cedar accents typical of the property. A queen bed faces windows that look out over cardamom and coffee plants. It's a comfortable, unfussy base for guests spending their days on plantation walks and estate viewpoints.
Planters' Room
king · Sleeps 2 · 400 sq ft
The Planters' Room is one of only two at Windermere Estate, set close to the original Planters' Bungalow. It offers a more secluded stay than the estate's garden rooms, with red cedar furnishings and a private outlook over the plantation. A king bed anchors the room, with a sitting area for relaxing after the afternoon plantation walk. Guests here are steps from Windermere's viewpoint and its 360-degree hill views.
