Kluney Manor - Ooty
A 165 year old heritage property, Kluney Manor is reminiscent of the Raj era with a stately colonial building that sits pretty on a 2 acre landscaped area. Having been an ancestral home for generations, it was extensively renovated two years ago. Although it does retain its old world charm, the renovation was carried out to ensure that guests enjoy a comfortable stay with all modern luxuries that they are accustomed to.
A scenic driveway leads to the main porch, which faces the banquet lawns. From here one has to climb a few stairs to the lobby located in a central hall that is well connected to the rest of the building. The lobby boasts of decor that reminds one of the colonial history of the property. Intricately carved furniture is set up around fireplaces that are mounted with huge paintings while beautiful lamp shades, that are part of the central chandelier, reflect the warm glow of the hearth.
Rooms
All rooms have functional fireplaces that are lit up in the evenings. The 10 rooms are divided into 6 Suites and 4 Cottages. While the Suites have wood panelled ceiling and wooden flooring, the Cottages boast of a more contemporary look with modern designs and tiled floor. All rooms are equipped with a four poster double bed, laced mosquito net, three piece sofa set, study table, cable television and a dressing table. The washrooms are spacious and offer all modern amenities. While a Cottage has similar amenities, it has a separate living room, bedroom and dressing room. The narrow living room is furnished with cane chairs and offers a view of the garden in front while the dressing room has an ornate antique dressing table with a stool. The washroom has a partially enclosed shower cubicle.
