Hotel Associates of Lockhart Estate

Lockhart Bungalow is a 150 year-old British Tea Bungalow tucked on the slopes of the Chokarmudy foothills in Munnar Kerala amidst lush tea gardens. The bungalow has two luxury bed rooms to accommodate guests. Each room is completely different in its decor and has its distinctive character. Every room is decked with antique furniture – the grand beds come with inlay woodwork, teak wood dressing tables, dining tables, wardrobes and the fireplaces with their teak wood mantles. The common sit-out tea tables and couches on the verandah keeps to the simplistic cane and teakwood. Paintings, murals and handicrafts play with the contrast and colour of the 150 year-old stone walls and timber floors of the bungalow. Well! With all this you also get a vast lawn in your frontyard, where you can try your hands against your partner and the gusty Chokarmudy winds. Amenities, we simply cannot live without like water purifiers, 24-hours hot water, room heaters (but you should use the fire place instead), laundries and medical kit with attendant would make your life easier here. Coming to its food and services – the bungalow has its own team of trained chefs and housekeeping staff who work relentlessly to preserve the serenity of the environment. The unique terrain and altitude ranging between 6000 and 7500 feet gives a great opportunity to low altitude treks through lush green tea bushes. The treks usually lead to viewpoints offering breathtaking views of Mt. Chokarmudy range, the rolling valleys, various waterfalls and forests.
