683 ReviewsOssoor Estate was founded in 1861 by three intrepid Englishmen Mr. A. Mockett and his cousins, Gen. C. J. Green and Col. H. Green on land granted by the then Maharaja of Mysore. They struggled against all odds, yet succeeded. They bought more land, brought in more Englishmen, chief among them Col. W.L. Crawford, Mr. E.L. Young and Mr. R. Radcliffe. These gentlemen not only established the coffee industry in India, but ensured that they would be forever remembered by building hospitals and schools for the local population. The Crawford Govt Hospital and the Young Govt School still exist, as does the Crawford Hall in Mysore University. Radcliffe donated 30 acres to the Govt Research Centre in Sakleshpur which even today, does critical research for the betterment of the coffee industry.

Nice location just off the bangalore mangalore highway. The main bungalow has 3 rooms. The bungalow is quite quaint and is well mainted. The rooms are large and spacious and accommodated 2 adults, a child and a small dog. The room also had a shower area outdoor and large bathroom. The surrounding are beautiful and good to for a morning and evening walk.
We spend 3 days with one day visit to Dharmasthala and Kukke temples. The next day drive to Hanbal falls near Hanbal, bisle ghats and Manjarabad fort.
On return went to Shettihalli. The place as such does not have many activities.
The food was excellent including the dinner. Dinesh who is the caretaker ensures we were well taken care of. The cusine was malnad with good spread for breakfast and dinner.
The cost was on the higher side including the food. Otherwise everything else was good. Room linen could be cleaner.

Hi,
I came to know about Sakleshpur and Plantation Escapes through my friend who has already visited this place. So, decided to go to this place for vacation. I decided to drive down to this place from Chennai and so, I started on a Friday evening to B'lore and made my overnight stay in my relative's house. On Saturday morning we started our drive to this place and this is located 260 kms approx from B'lore. We drove down to Kukke Subramanya temple which is 60kms approx from Sakleshpur. The drive on the ghat road was thrilling and also the last stretch of drive to temple was amazing because of the picturesque route you get to drive.
I had made the inquiry through mail with Mr. Suresh and Manoj Shanbhag who provided me with a full detailed itinerary and the cost for each type of room. I opted for the Radcliffe Annex which is more suitable for a couple. The room had a living and bedroom. The living room was provided with a LCD TV and a dining table. The bedroom had a two single seater sofa, cupboard and a dressing table.
The stay and hospitality was really awesome!!... The food provided was also extremely good and it's really worth the money we pay. The place of stay is so calm that you get the opportunity to relax to the maximum extant possible.

A must visit place with family and friends and please don't miss it...!
