Overview

Double Dutch Resort offers you a comfortable stay in a rural Indian setting. Double Dutch Resort is located in the Kamaraj Valley in the spurs of the Palani Hills. An altitude of 300m above sea level provides you a relatively cool pleasant tropical climate for most of the year. We started as a family home in 1994. When we arrived the property was barren, red soil earth strewn with rocks. Our mission over the years has been to restore the land to its natural jungle beauty and to bring back the wildlife after years of neglect and overgrazing. After much hard work, we have gotten the place looking green again and have noticed a large influx of wildlife. We then began our own small scale, “eco friendly” farm with a vegetable garden, cows, goats, rabbits, chickens, Guiney fowls, ducks, turkeys, dogs and cats. Throughout the years many friends and family came to stay with us. Because they enjoyed it so much, we gradually changed into a resort for guests who are interested in a home-stay in the countryside. People who love this place are, for example; people who like to go for walks or treks, people who like bird watching, people who like to experience what it is to be a part of the Indian rural community, people who like India but like a break in a quiet place, people who use it as a base for daytrips, and families looking for a kid-friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Single travelers are also welcome to enjoy the homey atmosphere.
