Our daughter's family,son's family including us stayed in 3 rooms.Car parking is also there & separate bathroom facilities for drivers.In the night, lodge manager assured us lighting of a camp fire by 7.30pm,if we returned earlier after taking dinner in a near by Veg.hotel.We returned by 8 pm .The servant maid brought firewood & lighted them ( around 5 feet dia camp fire).Chairs were placed close to the fire in a circle,My grand son & grand daughter and all of us enjoyed it while temp .was below 22deg C at that time.There is no need for Ac there.In the lodge they provide both veg & non veg if we inform them in advance,One local cook ( lady) prepares the food .Separate dining hall is there.In the morning after taking B.fast there, we left for Salem .One should stay there to enjoy the cool climate.Some of the photos clicked there in Ooty botanical garden - Govt,just posted here .
