About the Home

Tucked into the rolling hills of Kotagiri, SaffronStays Verandah by the Nilgiris is a 3-bedroom home that brings together the warmth of a lived-in house with the quiet beauty of the Nilgiris. Perched at a gentle height, the home looks out towards the mountains, with sweeping views visible from every bedroom and balcony. The interiors are contemporary with subtle Indian influences, designed to feel homely, warm and unhurried. Custom-made teakwood furnishings, crafted in Kerala and adapted to the homeowner’s personal style, lend the home a timeless character. A sloping Mangalore-tiled roof adds to its mountain-home charm, while large windows bring in plenty of natural light.

All three bedrooms open onto private balconies, with two also enjoying individual lawns. Outside, expansive manicured lawns, a flower garden and an alfresco dining area create plenty of space to spend time together. A Zen garden, centred around a Buddha statue crafted in Mahabalipuram, offers a quieter corner to pause and take in the surroundings. With Catherine Falls close by and the Nilgiri hills unfolding around it, Verandah by the Nilgiris is a home for slow mornings, long conversations and time spent together in the hills.
