The 30 acre property provides the serenest and the most beautiful experience. I visited it as a solo traveller to relax and rejuvenate very recently and it did that beautifully . The rooms and the property are gorgeous . But what sets it apart is the hospitality and knowledge of the staff . The spa team is V caring n offer a really good experience and the restaurant chefs n team are too and the food excellent . The naturalists are exceptional , they really give their heart to the nature walks , Shreyas and Peter I m very thankful to . Gowtham , the naturalist , his hospitality was to be really great ful for . Every moment extremely kind , helpful and knowledgeable .the experience of Nagarahole n the forest made even richer cause of it . A definite go again for me and for any one who wants to soak in nature , learn about the animals , birds & reptiles of Nagarhole at the same time. A big thank you to the Machaan team and yes the tiger sighting , the nature walks with various frogs , reptiles n other nocturnal animals n the birding (more than 30 species I saw ) were the most memorable parts of this get away .

We stayed here as part of of our tour around South India, and I must say it was one of the highlights. We stayed in one of there yerts which was fantastic, the only downside was that after our first day we were joined on the resort by a school trip which got quite noisy at times.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, with views over the surrounding coffee plantation and forest. Food was plentiful and there was a good choice for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The staff were very helpful and arranged trips to the surrounding area. The highlight of our stay was Peter, one of the resident naturalists, whose knowledge of, and ability to spot, the wide variety of birds was a delight.
