The Machaan experience offers luxurious accommodation set amidst a lush coffee plantation near the boundary of Nagarhole National Park. The cottages have a tranquil view of an open stretch of water body that attract a large variety of bird life. They have also been thoughtfully designed using green ideas and materials for today’s discerning traveller.  

The  elegantly  furnished  rooms have two single beds with world class sleeping comfort  using  hypoallergenic materials. A diwan  is  also placed in the  room  that  can  sleep a  third person.  A  study  table  has  been provided  for  those  who  still  have  the  habit  of  writing or to use their computer. Also provided is in-room tea and coffee making facilities.  The well-planned bathroom has hot and cold water supply and a set of eco friendly toiletries. The serene atmosphere lets you relax on the open deck or laze in a nearby hammock. Each room comes with all essential accessories – umbrella, torchlight, solar lamp, ceiling fan and electrical outlets. 

A traditional Kodava bungalow with all creature comforts. The bungalow has two rooms elegantly and luxuriously furnished as in our cottages.  One room is accessible from the porch and the other is within the bungalow.  The second room has a living, dining and a fireplace.  It also has a small room that can house the children."

Dining
The Machaan Dining has been planned with the same meticulous care and thought towards greener practices.  The open plan dining area overlooks the estate from a height and dining here is an experience in itself.   The décor is understated with the trees and the coffee plants providing an incredibly green backdrop whichever direction one looks.  The Machaan Dining is a calm place to relax and unwind at any time of the day or night. The buffet menu is designed innovatively around local cuisines for differing palates.

Coorg
Or Kodagu, as it’s locally known, is set amidst the Sahyadris or Western Ghats that’s an important and world-renowned biodiversity hotspot. In Coorg, the Western Ghats’ main range extends from Subramanya in the northwest to the Brahmagiris in the south covering a little over 100 kilometres. The Brahmagiris or Marenad Hills form a natural barrier between Coorg and Wayanad in Kerala. Coorg is a truly fascinating place that’s been labelled the Scotland of India. Not sure why and what resemblance the place bears to the land of the Scots but Coorg can hold its own without inane comparisons to other places. The eco system is fragile and visitors need to understand this and act responsibly.
