We stayed for 2 nights at the Acres Wild Farmstay, Coonoor. It was a good choice as we are nature lovers and we could take long walks in and around the farm which is spread over 25 acres of property. One good thing about this property is that there are only 3 cottages and all are spread far and way... More

Acres Wild was every bit what we expected and more. It was remote but yet walkable from the town centre. It was totally laid back, with a little cottage to ourselves filled with wonderful books, and basic kitchen for beverages etc. The main dining hall is made to order, home style and fresh. Some of it from the farm itself.... More

Truly Acres Wild. I say this because just as we arrived at the resort there was a small heard of Gaur grazing about 100 feet from the Resort office. This is the first time I have ever seen Gaur so close, outside a National Park. Two days later, as we were leaving the heard was back again. We stayed in... More

I think people generally have a more positive experience at Acres Wild than we did but it was nice nonetheless. We arrived amidst a general overhaul of the properties (or, at least, ours) so the cottage wasn't as tidy as it could have been. We also found it hard getting information we needed about how to get from a to... More

Man, nature, animals.. all live in loving harmony on Acres Wild. And going there for our holiday was the best decision we could have made. There is a lot to be said for the quaint charm of the cottages and the views from the farm. We enjoyed milking the cows, baking bread, feeding fish, etc. My dog - a pug... More

I am so glad that I took the decision to travel to this place after just reading about it in a paper handout. The sole reason to come here was to get my pets (2 dobermans) here for a vacation. Our cottages (Haloumi) was just at an absolute breathtaking point with the nilgiris in the backdrop. We had bonfires on... More

Our family (couple and a young child) had a very pleasant stay in March 2013 at the farm in the Colby cottage. The cottage and the farm were both very quaint offering charming views and an idyllic lifestyle with home cooked food, at least for a few days. The cheesemaking and conversations with the hosts were just the icing on... More

Why do toy trains always remind us of hill stations? The thought trailed across the half-awake mind as the cabbie pulled up at Acres Wild around 10 am. The crisp air filled the lungs as the stomach cried for breakfast. Sliced watermelon, made-to-order eggs, and neatly laid out steaming south Indian options like upma and idli-sambar were targeted immediately. Over... More
