Had a wonderful weekend stay at the resort. We were two couples with kids and chose the suite rooms away from the main area. The ambiance is amazing, in the middle of the jungle with the Nilgiris as a backdrop. The property is excellent if you want to spot wildlife. During our stay a tusker decided to feed on the... More

Me and my boyfriend went to the Jungle Retreat as we didn't find a place in "Wild Haven" and we cannot be happier with that decision! The STAFF was extremely nice, and they didn't only interact in our day-to-day activities, they also talked to hours for hours answering every kind of curiosities we had about India, or animals, or Mudumalai...

The location is fantastic, right at the edge of the forests. Plenty of wildlife on the property and also get several visitors from the neighboring jungle especially at night. the rooms are very nice and spacious. The tree houses are terrific, unfortunately they did not allow small kids and hence we had to be happy with a deluxe cottage (which... More

This really is a retreat! It consists of a central area where you can meet up with other guests and have breakfast and other meals as well as various types of accommodation spread out in the grounds. We stayed in a room in a cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and had a lovely terrace where you could watch the... More

This is a really great property with a great view all around. My recent visit to Jungle retreat was a nice experience even though it is the dry season. We enjoyed the expansive spread of food offered for our meals. It's a great place to go to experience nature and if your lucky, spot a few wild animals. You will... More

This place is truly nice to unwind. Go there expecting relaxation, deer prancing by in front of your room, a nice outdoor pool, plenty of trees around. Ideal for a weekend getaway or as a base for further jungle exploits into Thepakadu/Bandipur. They have standard rooms, tree house, bamboo cottages and a deluxe room. The STD is ideal for a... More

This is a delightful place to stay and relax. It's a great base for visiting Mudumalai as well as Bandipur and Ooty. The location is delightful - large grounds which have been well planted, misty mountains, swimming pool, and silence (although we hit the annual Mariamma fair, which was noisy but good humoured). We had a standard room which was... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Jungle Retreat is a family-run resort, that offers a range of country-style cottages, that suit different budgets, while catering to a similar mindset. Insulated within 35 Acres of carefully cultivated and nurtured biodiversity, Jungle Retreat is a haven for wildlife and has come a long way since its beginnings in 1996 when it was barren farmland. Being family-run, service is personalised, informal yet professional. Jungle Retreat does not take Corporate bookings or all male groups, so you can be assured of an ambiance that does not remind you of work and appeals even to the single female traveller. Food is laid out in buffet-style. Menus are set twice a day after taking into consideration guest preferences and allergies. Activities like safaris and walks may be customised with the in-house activities in-charge and are organised within the parameters stipulated by the Forest Department and government agencies. Activities are subject to availability and weather conditions. Jungle Retreat has house pets (cats and dogs) that have always been with the family. Having encouraged wildlife on the campus, house-rules are to be adhered to for the safety of our guests. ... more   less
