Time stands still at the picturesque Old Kent Estates & Spa, a 158-year-old property nestled in the midst of a 200-acre coffee plantation, forested hills and gushing streams of crystal clear water. Developed in the 1800s by Lieutenant Colonel W. R. Wright, an army officer in British India, Old Kent Estates in Coorg is a tribute to the old world charm of British India! The stately example of Colonial architecture has been restored and designed keeping in mind the history and tradition, to ensure a pleasant and memorable holiday in the serene hills of Coorg. Take a trip back in time to the period of British India, surrounded by a large English garden and acres of plantation and woodlands.
