    It was an amazing adventures experience. Such an thrilling and mind relaxing place. A thrilling morning walk through forest with guide . Mr Edward makes a excellent guide for us. He knows all about the forest. They are providing very tasty home cook indian traditional food. Wild and bird photographers get a chance to express their ability. Its an amazing wildlife experience. We are enjoy a lot.

    I recently had the pleasure of camping in the heart of the forest for two days and it was an experience I'll never forget. The natural beauty of the forest is truly breathtaking, and the rain that fell all night made me feel like I was in my own little slice of heaven. The sounds of the forest at night were soothing and peaceful, and the fresh air was invigorating. The campsite itself was well-maintained and had all the amenities I needed. I highly recommend this camping experience to anyone looking to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    Absolute amazing experience, very calm and peaceful environment away from hustle and bustle of ooty town. Pros:- 1. Peaceful environment 2. Amazing hospitality 3. Indore games (carrom,chess etc) 4. Everyday bonfire 5. Great food (unlimited) 6. Option of both farmhouse and tent stay. Cons:- 1. Nothing as such perfect place to refresh yourself. Just the cost of staying could be little less. (It's 2k per night per person including everything, though you can negotiate we got it for 1.75k)

    By far, this is the best and simple place I've been to. Must try for all! Update: This is the second time that I have visited this place. Let me be clear when I say this. This place has the best hospitality and service. There is no room for boredom. The trekking trip is fantastic. This place is a good resting spot for all. The rate is reasonable and good.

    You can experience ooty as it should be experienced..here. Most welcoming and generous hosts, great stay, greater food, greatest wilderness. Serene, beautiful, tranquil, placid......running out of adjectives to describe the place.

    Wild and free - gives us a wonderful experience that lives up to its name. Nobody to disturb. We were given a warm cozy cottage as the tent was too cold in Dec. The elderly couple who took care of us were the property owners. Their hospitality was too good. My 8 year old daughter loves and recalls the libia (?) tea made by Aunty even today after 4 months of our visit there. The thrill begins from the off road you take to reach the property. Can hear the sound of stream running nearby . They have a great flowers, fruit and veggies garden which you can enjoy watching. They were generous enough to pass some freshly plucked veggies. Uncle and aunty did their best to take care of us as their helper had to take an emergency leave. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and next time looking forward to sleep in tents. According to me there is literally nothing else to do in the property except to enjoy the weather amidst the chirps and sound of flowing water with your loved ones. doddabettah is closeby.

    Definitely a best choice for nature lovers # It's the place where u can feel close to nature. After a long search i got this place. A beautiful morning sunrise with bird chirping and stary πŸŽ‡ sky at night makes awesome 😎# u don't want to go out to Ooty main , u can simply go for walk there itself u can see variety of plants and trees like apple 🍎, peach , pear 🍐, tree tomato, fig , rosemary, sage . U can reach Ooty main in 20mins (6km). I really feel very pleasant and calm. They provided morning tiffin idly & bread and for dinner rice , rasam , chicken curry , pepper chicken and chapathi. Food was awesome πŸ’―# they gave good hospitality. Evening bonfire πŸ”₯ was warning and good .

    Me and my wife were looking for a quiet break over the weekend and wanted to avoid the crowded tourist attractions of the hillstation. Wild and free was the perfect getaway for it. The experience of the stay begins from the drive itself to the property. This tea estate, located amidst the dense jungle frames amazing views in all directions. Also our amazing hosts Rueben, Josh and Jerome made sure that we had a memorable time by planning a great bornfire with barbeque and a serene morning Trek around the property. Overall it was great and peaceful experience.

    We went in a group of 4. Probably one of the most affordable stay ever gone to. Host was so kind to give us dorm as an option incase the tent is too cold. Really good caretakers and food is also provided. We didn't opt it that time.

    Really mesmerizing for nature lovers and a wonderful ooty vibes away from city. I strongly recommend this place for people who really enjoy the nature.

    Probably the best place to calm yourself with beautiful landscapes, forest serenity, cool breeze and much more. This is a remote area where one needs to cover about 2 km off road through forest which gives an adventurous experience. They have minimal setup but still it covers every need of yours. Authentic village food is something which sparks your taste buds. Overall a wonderful place to be with your friends and family.

    So I've stayed here for one night, which makes me really compelled to write down this review. Basically this place is a little cottage, as the name suggests, "wild and Free" , wild because it's bordered by forests and protected by electric fences and "free" because it's located away from the nuisances of the town. It's placed ideally on the foothills of the Doddabetta region, the second highest peak in S.India, so it would be very cold. We visited the place in December and God, did we not freeze. It's absolutely cold during winters so, if you think you could brave the cold of Ooty, think twice. Talking about the place itself, it consists of a single big hall, one end, has beds on the floor, the other end you get a dining table,toaster and stuffs. Basically one big hall. You have two toilets outside the house, one western and one Indian. The hosts, Mr. William and his Son Ruben, are extremely hospitable. You get breakfast and Dinner during your stay and tea occasionally, and food is nothing to complain about. Good. They create a bonfire at night, and you could go explore the place in the morning. Now the biggest high light of this place. You see this is not a cliche resort or cottage kindoff thing, this is an offbeat remote cottage, for people wanting a perfect getaway and freedom and privacy. We were a group of boys, and you could literally do anything and no one's here to check on you. You don't get that freedom in expensive hotels and resorts. This rudimentary cottage, which is nestled deep in the mountains, you have a turbulent unpaved road to get to this place from the main road,away from the eyes of the public. And this place is absolutely SERENE. BOY, pictures don't do justice to this place. Final Verdict:- The only negative aspect is the price, which I believe would be dynamic depending on the season. But if you are a bachelor or group of bachelors preferring a perfect offbeat getaway, this is the place.

    People who admire nature for what it is, this place is luxury for them. This place has all my heart, the view and the valley chillness runs down the spine. The stone house is simple, cute and gives you nostalgic feeling if you are from country side. The home cooked food is limited, yet tasty which is provided with lots of love by aunty. There is so much of effort by uncle and aunty (owner’s parents live there), who takes care of the guests like their own. They just make u feel that you are home away home. Very simple stay, and minimal availability of resources. This is add on to live few days of life with minimal resources and yet to satisfaction. Beautiful off-roading experience to reach the stay is one good experience to carry from Ooty. Go to this place, if only you are minimalist.
