Old Kent Estates

An Absolute Paradise ’ Perfect Blend of History and Luxury!Our stay at Old Kent Estates & Spa was nothing short of magical. Located just outside Madikeri, this stunning property is nestled deep within a massive, lush coffee plantation. The 180-year-old colonial main lodge is beautifully restored, giving the entire place an unmatched old-world charm.We stayed in a private cottage, which was incredibly spacious, clean, and elegant. The massive bathroom with a standalone bathtub was a huge highlight! We loved waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature and trekking along the scenic plantation trails.The hospitality here is top-notch. Every staff member greeted us with a genuine smile and accommodated all our needs. The food at Gordon’s Saloon was delicious, and drinking their freshly ground, estate-grown coffee while looking out at the hills was divine. There are also plenty of activities like a home theatre, pool table, and recreational games to keep you entertained. It is the ultimate tranquil getaway. We cannot wait to return!

We loved our stay at Old Kent Tea EstatePros1. The food was very delicious, specially the local food. It was light and very tasty.2. The rooms were very spacious and clean. We had booked the suites.3. The in room service was also excellent.4. The games room, reading room and theatre room very vintage and fantastic to unwind. We had also used the pool table, which was Mai gained very well. (Can add a small bottle of powder from easy of use for beginners.)5. Breakfast was also nice, including the spread, there was a live counter for fresh egg as well, mostly the spread was vegetarian which was in our favour.Can be improved, or things to look out for.1. The road to the estate is not very built, although you can’t do anything about it, it is almost the same for other resorts like Club Mahindra and Taj, it is the government to blame for it.2. We had booked 2 bathtub rooms suits however we had got just 1 room with bathtub and one without, although the one without had a much better view out of the room.3. They provide Nokia phones to connect to the reception, sometimes they are unable to connect to the Food and Beverage department, although the reception almost connect always. They have taken a step for this which is much appreciated is that before every meal prep the F&B visit the room individually to take the orders. I feel an intercom would be much appreciated. Also Nokia phones are just restricted to pool rooms. I feel intercom should be set up in all the rooms.Overall it was a very very good heritage stay. We loved our time there. The staff were very helpful and polite. It is an amazing 4 star stay. The coffee there is amazing, do check the coffee bar which has much more options of coffee than the in room dining.It is an amazing heritage coffee estate experience.

Had a wonderful stay at Old Kent Estates. The moment we arrived, the calm and quiet of the place really stood out’it’s the kind of escape you don’t realize you need until you’re there.A complete reset from city life!The rooms have a beautiful old-world charm while still being super comfortable and well-equipped. You get that rustic, heritage vibe without compromising on modern amenities, which is honestly the best of both worlds.The food deserves a special mention’everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. And the staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay memorable.There was, unfortunately, one guest who seemed to forget basic courtesy and disrupted the otherwise peaceful environment’but credit to the staff for handling it with patience and professionalism.All in all, I’d highly recommend Old Kent Estates if you’re someone who appreciates nature, quiet, and a slower pace. It’s not for people looking for a loud, resort-style party vibe, but if you want serenity and charm, this place is spot on.
