Teanest by Nature Resorts and Stays

We had an incredible stay! The property is stunning, blending a beautiful vintage look with impeccable cleanliness. The location is peaceful, and waking up to the sounds of birds was a highlight. A huge thanks to the staff, especially Nitish, for being so attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the curated activities, the morning bird walk and the evening plantation walk led by Azad, who was very knowledgeable. It was also such a thoughtful touch that the hotel provides binoculars for bird watching. It really elevated the experience!

Prospective guests should note that Teanest Annexe serves an a la carte breakfast, unlike the buffet offered at the main Teanest property, a detail missing from the listing. Unfortunately, our dining experience was disappointing. Chef Sunil seemed overwhelmed by the 'Earl Grey' menu. Despite pre-ordering the night before, breakfast was so delayed we had to leave for our Ooty train on empty stomachs on the third day of stay. The food quality was also an issue. Sambar served in the dinner was excessively spicy, causing me physical distress and a sleepless night. Even after specifically requesting mild food the next morning, the Poori Bhaji was served topped with red chilies. We ended up eating breakfast at the main Teanest property for the remainder of our stay and enjoyed dinner at local spots like Cherrie Berry (our favorite), Earl’s Secret, and Periodic Table instead. Drivers should be aware that the approach road from the entrance gate is quite steep (about a 30 degree incline) and currently in poor condition; it will definitely test your car’s clearance and power. Additionally, parking at the Annexe is very tight. Since there are two rooms, you may find yourself blocked in or needing to coordinate a tricky reversal if the other guest needs to leave first.

für Spaziergänge in der Plantage, die Lage

Das junge Personal, kann kaum Englisch sind unfreundlich. Glücklicherweise kam dann später ein Manager, der unser Ansprechpartner war.

Tea nest was a beautiful place to stay. The hotel is clean and beautiful, and the views are amazing (keep watching the fog to see it lift and move). The tea provided was all delicious, and the meals were great. The absolute highlight were the casual and deeply informative tours by their Naturalist Guide (was his name Az? I waited too long to write this review). He was so knowledgeable about the tea, plants, birds and animals of the region.

Dinner isn't included - so just be careful with it saying "all inclusive" - also most hotel fees in cash so make sure you bring cash!

Overall we had a wonderful stay - courteous, kind and polite staff, clean rooms/toilets/good food and very scenic
