They have done a refurbishment since I stayed there last in 2023 . The food and service for a bungalow is superb . We were a family of 06 and took 03 rooms . There was another couple in house when we checked in and we stayed for 02 days . The air is so fresh and the undisturbed view is excellent, which over looks a mountain range . The land extent is about 20 acres of tea It is a lovely place if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Ella . We did visit Ella and spent half a day there . and enjoyed the rest of our stay at the Tea Bungalow
