Hospitality Expert NTE: BBQ, Bonfire & Chef

Summary:
Nianna Tea Estate is a stone dwelling surrounded by luscious tea leaf terraces, organic vege-farm and fresh water stream. The estate is located in the town of Deenaty close to the Sivan Temple.

For a farm-to-table experience this is the perfect place for you! Pick carrots, radish, beetroot, red cabbage, tea and more, and the caretaker will prepare a meal for you. We offer BBQ & Bonfire.

We provide a drivers room.

The Space:
The Plantation House is located amidst 20 acres of lush Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP) leaves. The house is the focal point of the estate but there is great trekking in all directions. To the north lies multiple terraces of tea leaves which once climbed leads to a potable fresh water stream. To the south is a fully-organic vegetable farm (seasonal) and tea weighing area with staff quarters.

The house itself has a bedroom on the upstairs and downstairs levels. These 2 fabulous rooms sleep 4 people comfortably, plus we have a 2 person sleeper sofa and and single sleeper, allowing 8 guests to stay comfortably. An extra mattress is available on request. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there is a full extra bathroom. There is a living room with a TV downstairs and a sitting room upstairs. There are 2 outdoor viewing decks on the north and south side, from here wild animals such as bisons and deer can be spotted.

The house has a cosy dining room that seats 4 comfortably, the kitchen is full-service and open for you to use. There is a powder room attached to the dining room. We have a washing machine on property. For in-house dining, a chef is available at a small fee.

Nianna is the ideal place to catch up with some quiet time, play family games, dive into a great book or take in the freshest air you will ever experience.

We recommend driving to the estate in an SUV or high vehicle as the approach can be muddy. Arriving after 5pm is not advised either as the last 1 km of road doesn't have lighting. If your vehicle cannot manage the last 1km to the estate we can arrange for a transport to take you at a very reasonable cost, and you can park your car safely.

We provide a room for drivers to stay comfortably for INR 600 / night.

Guest Access:
Guests will be greeted by Dinesh the house keeper. He will make your stay very comfortable and assist you with any of your needs. You have full access to the rooms, kitchen and entire estate.

The Neighborhood:
The neighbourhood is a very charming place. Kagguchi has some lovely tea shops with locally made food. Deenaty is a very quiet and sparsely populated village, do not expect to find any large retail shops here, in fact we advise you to bring your own consumables.

There is a local town in walking distance (5 mins) from the Estate with houses and shops. There also neighbouring estates.

Getting Around:
You are advised to drive your own car to the estate as public transportation is very limited. Parking is available on the estate and vehicles parked here will be safe.
