La Address Retreat is an experiential heritage homestay in Monterosa Colony, off Thamizhagam Road in Ooty. It is set in a British-style cottage with a large garden, warm wooden interiors and a cosy living room, so it feels like staying in an old hill-station home rather than a hotel. Breakfast is included, and Ooty Lake is about 1.5 km away.
Why guests love it
- Heritage character: colonial-style architecture, wooden interiors and a garden to sit out in with your morning tea.
- Quiet but central: a calm residential colony, yet close to the lake, the gardens, the railway station and the town.
- Evenings by the fire: a bonfire and campfire can be arranged in the garden on cold Nilgiri nights.
- Pet friendly: bring your pet along, with simple pet meals available.
- Rooms for every group: from a budget double to a suite with a private lawn and a two-bedroom family villa.
