Escape to Paradise: Your Coorg Treehouse Awaits! - A Review That's Actually Real (And Possibly a Little Chaotic)
Alright, folks, buckle up. Because I've just survived… ahem… experienced Escape to Paradise: Your Coorg Treehouse Awaits! And I’m here to tell you everything, the good, the slightly less good (because let's be honest, perfection is boring), and the downright hilariously memorable. This isn't some polished press release; this is the real deal, warts and all, delivered with the caffeine-fueled enthusiasm of someone who just stepped off a plane (and maybe didn't sleep quite enough).
First things first: The Location & Accessibility… Or Lack Thereof (Depending on Your Perspective)
Coorg. Lush, green, misty… and potentially a pain in the butt to get to. Let's be honest, I’m not exactly Captain Expeditions these days, and the thought of navigating winding roads had me reaching for the Dramamine before I even left the house. Now, the review mentions "Airport transfer," which is a godsend, and I used it. Bless their hearts, because driving there? Whew! However, and this is important if you, like me, aren’t a mountain goat, the review doesn't scream "wheelchair accessible." So, if you need that, double-check before booking. I'm guessing, given the treehouse thing, it's probably not a breezy rollout situation. Just a hunch.
Getting Connected (or Disconnected, Your Choice!)
Internet access. Yes, it’s there. Wi-Fi in all rooms? Praise be! I need to Instagram that perfectly framed plate of… something. Let's be real, this is 2024, we are constantly connected. But, there is a “disconnect” aspect to this place and I'd say it's a good one. You can actually put your phone down. It's amazing. And, LAN if you have important emails to send.
The Room: My Sky Fortress (Minus the Fortress Part, Sadly)
Okay, the treehouse. Let me paint you a picture. You're literally in the canopy. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the sunlight filtering through the leaves. (Okay, the birds might be a little too chirpy at 6 AM. Just saying.)
- Available in all rooms: Well, duh. Air conditioning? Yes… thank goodness. Alarm clock? Yep, although my internal alarm clock, fueled by sheer excitement, usually kicks in a few hours early. Bathrobes? Check! (Because who doesn't want to wander around in a fluffy robe pretending to be a resort mogul?) Free bottled water? Essential. Seriously, staying hydrated is key to survival. There’s also a coffee/tea maker, which, again, a huge win.
- The Little Things: Reading light by the bed? Sorted! (Perfect for those late-night novel binges.) The in-room safe? Well, I didn't use it because, frankly, I lost the key to my carry-on suitcase. (Don't judge. We've all been there.) The window that opens? Oh, yes. Fresh air, glorious fresh air. A sofa? Yes, and a desk/laptop workspace. I actually got some work done. Amazing.
The Spa & Relaxation: My Own Private Sanctuary (and the Occasional Squawk)
Right, let's talk about the pampering. This place is serious about relaxation. They have everything: A pool with a view (breathtaking, seriously), a sauna, steamroom, and various massage options.
I did a massage, and that. Was. Divine. I was so incredibly tense from the flight, and after an hour of bliss, I was practically a puddle of happy goo. The masseuse was genuinely skilled. I felt like I could actually breathe again. I skipped the Body Wrap but I'm thinking about it. There is also a fitness center. More for those who want to be virtuous, less for me. I've been looking at it, and my body's been thinking "no, thank you".
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (and Maybe the Guilt)
So much food! So. Much. Food. This is where things get a little… epic.
- Breakfast is a buffet: And a good one, with both Western and Asian options. (Get the dosa. Trust me.)
- Restaurants: Multiple! There's a lovely pool-side bar. The coffee shop is a perfect place to work.
- Dinner: the a la carte menu at the restaurant is good. I had the salad and a soup. Delicious but I felt the need to go for something heavier (desserts in restaurant)
- Room Service: 24/7. This is a dangerous luxury. I may or may not have ordered a pizza at 2 AM. No regrets.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe, Even Without a Hazmat Suit (Thankfully)
Post-pandemic, every hotel has to talk about cleanliness, and Escape to Paradise nails it. There's hand sanitizer everywhere, staff wear masks, and rooms are sanitized. They even offer "room sanitization opt-out". I'm not sure if I did that correctly, but the rooms are clean and safe.
Services & Conveniences: Making Life Easier (Because Why Not?)
- Concierge: Helpful. They helped me with booking a local tour.
- Luggage storage: Yes. Because who wants to lug their suitcase around the lobby?
- Laundry service: Saved my life after I spilled coffee on my favorite shirt.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was cleaned to perfection every day.
- Cash Withdrawal: Yes.
- Gifts/souvenir shop: Yes.
- Air conditioning Yes.
Things to Do: Beyond Lounging (If You're Feeling Energetic)
Look, this place is all for chilling out. But if you're feeling active, there are options… or so I'm told. I was so happy doing nothing, but the information is there: I do think they should consider adding a guide to the best bars.
For The Kids: A family friendly place, with kids facilities and babysitting service.
Getting Around: Leave the Driving to Them (Seriously)
- Airport transfer: Essential. Book it!
- Car park [on-site]: Yep.
- Taxi service: Available if you desperately want to leave.
Quirks, Imperfections & Anecdotes (Because That's Where the Fun Is)
Here is a thing that happened. Okay. So I was on the terrace, having a drink and enjoying the sunset, when a monkey, a full-on, brazen, cheeky monkey, tried to steal my banana. Seriously. Right out of my hand. I screamed (probably a bit much, in retrospect), the monkey scampered off, and I decided to retreat indoors. Don't leave bananas unattended. And yes, I loved it. I mean, really.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Paradise? (My Slightly Biased Opinion)
Absolutely. It's not perfect. Nothing ever is. But it's authentic, beautiful, relaxing, and the whole experience is genuinely memorable. I'm already planning my return. So, book it!

Coorg Tree House: Operation Spontaneity (and Possibly Surviving the Locals)
Day 1: Arrival and the "Are We Even in the Right Place?" Debacle
Morning (More like LATE Morning): Landed in Bangalore. Thought I could charm the airport taxi driver. Nope. He spoke about three words of English. Managed to communicate "Coorg, treehouse." He nodded. Fingers crossed.
- Impression: The drive. Oh, the drive. Three and a half hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic, honking horns, and a symphony of exhaust fumes. At one point, I’m convinced we took a wrong turn and ended up in a rice paddy.
Afternoon: Arrived at Coorg Tree House. Actually found it. The GPS on my phone was about as helpful as a chocolate teapot. First impression? The climb up to the treehouse…steep. And I’m not a morning person, which explains why it's now afternoon.
- Anecdote: Met a guy named Raj, the groundskeeper. He looked at my luggage, then back at me, and shook his head. "You need help." He was right. So, so right.
Late Afternoon/Evening: Settling in. The treehouse itself? Unreal. Like, a legit childhood dream come true. Except, this treehouse doesn't have WiFi. Or electricity all the time. This is the REAL deal, people, raw and untamed.
- Quirky Observation: The treehouse creaks when the wind blows. Makes you feel like you're on a pirate ship, which is either awesome or terrifying, depending on how much wine you've consumed. Speaking of which…
- Emotion: Utter awe mixed with crippling fear of the dark and unknown creepy crawlies
Evening: Dinner at the treehouse. "Gourmet meals" they advertised. It was a lovely meal, but not gourmet. Still, the view from my treehouse was pure bliss.
Late Night: Staring at the stars. Feeling small. Feeling strangely content. The silence is deafening, which is… good.
Day 2: Coffee, Chaos, and Confronting My Inner Tourist (and the Bugs)
Sunrise (Maybe, Who Knows?): Woke up to the sound of birds and a distinct lack of sleep. The air is crisp, the light is golden, and I am… tired.
- Impression: The coffee. Oh, sweet Kodava coffee, you are my saviour. Strong, dark, and potent. I needed it. Badly.
Morning: Visited a coffee plantation. I’m a coffee snob, so I had high expectations. Turns out, I'm a coffee snob who doesn't know a thing about coffee before finding out that it takes a long time to roast and grind. They let me try roasting the beans, which resulted in some burnt offerings that would probably be better as a charcoal.
- Opinionated Language: It was overwhelming. I felt like a clumsy tourist, messing up everything I touched. But it was kind of wonderful, actually.
Afternoon: Waterfall hike. Supposed to be stunning. It was a bit of a trek, the humidity was suffocating, and I was pretty sure a leaven was eyeing my ankle. At one point, I contemplated giving up and heading back to my treehouse, but my pride kept me going. The waterfall was indeed breathtaking. Stunning.
- Emotional Reaction: "Holy crap, this is gorgeous!" said with my mouth slightly open
Late Afternoon: Stumbled into a local restaurant. "Authentic Kodava cuisine," they said. Ordered something that looked vaguely like a chicken curry. It was spicier than the surface of the sun, and delicious.
- Messy Structure: Suddenly, it's raining. Torrentially. I got soaked to the bone walking back to the treehouse. Now I'm just sitting here. Listening to the rain. Contemplating a second cup of coffee. Wondering if I can actually go another day without showering.
Evening: Tried to read. Failed. The sounds of the jungle are too captivating. The fireflies are magical. The complete lack of technology is… liberating.
- Anecdote: I went outside for a bit. There was this noise that sounded weird. I almost screamed but instead, I tried to be brave and check it out. It was just a gecko falling off the tree. I am still not brave.
- Opinion: I'm starting to understand the appeal of the simple life.
Day 3: Goodbye and a Final, Unfiltered Thought Dump
- Morning: More coffee. More staring at the view. A final breakfast. I was actually sad to leave.
- Impression: Coorg is… special. It's a place that strips away the noise and leaves you with… yourself. Which, sometimes, is a little scary.
- Late Morning: The drive back. Still traffic-ridden. But this time, I'm a little less frazzled. A little more grounded.
- Afternoon: Arrived in the city. Feeling a bit shell-shocked. The return to the hustle and bustle is jarring.
- Final Stream-of-Consciousness: Did I really go? Wow, I really saw the view. Wondering… I miss the rain. I'll be back. What would I do differently? Maybe pack more bug spray. Actually, probably not. It's all worth it.
Escape to Paradise: Your Coorg Treehouse Awaits! (FAQ – Because Let's Be Real, You Have Questions)
Okay, so, a TREEHOUSE. Is this, like, Swiss Family Robinson meets Instagram, or…?
Look, let's be brutally honest. My initial thought was all 'gram-worthy, right? Photoshoots, flowy dresses, the whole shebang.
And yeah, *some* of that is true. The treehouse itself? Freaking gorgeous. Think rustic chic meets "I could live here... forever... except for the bathroom situation, which we'll get to."
But! The *real* deal? It's... different. It's less polished, more… authentic. Like, I accidentally locked myself out on the balcony at 3 AM, barefoot and shivering. Not quite the curated Insta-vibe I was going for. And then there's the monkey business… (see question 4). So yeah, expect the unexpected. Bring a good book (you'll need it for the inevitable downtime staring into the jungle), mosquito repellent, and a sense of humour. You *will* need a sense of humour.
Is it actually *in* the trees? Like, do I need a harness? Because I'm terrified of heights.
Yes and YES. It's in the trees, properly *in* the trees. Thankfully, no harness is required. Unless you’re clumsy like me, and the stairs feel a little… precarious after a couple of the local coffees.
Height? Yeah, it's a thing. I'm usually fine, but that first climb? My stomach did a minor flip. Think of it like a really cool, slightly dangerous hideout. The view from the balcony is SPECTACULAR, though. Seriously. You can actually *see* the clouds rolling in. And honestly? Conquering that fear… that feeling of 'I actually did it!' is pretty awesome. Just… don't look down *too* often, yeah?
Also, the stairs are a bit wonky. Just… be careful. And maybe don't carry too much at once.
The bathroom. I'm already apprehensive. Tell me the truth.
Alright, deep breaths. The bathroom... it’s… rustic. Okay, maybe let's call it *basic*. Think, “nature’s call” meets “minimalist chic”. There are places that are genuinely… fancy. This is not one. Expect bucket showers. Expect the occasional (let's be generous here) critter sighting. The whole ‘being one with nature thing’ takes on a whole new meaning.
The first time I went? Let's just say I shrieked. Loudly. My partner just calmly said, "Welcome to Coorg." It's an experience, people. Embrace it. Bring a headlamp. And maybe a bottle of something strong. You'll thank me later.
What about the monkeys? I've heard things…
Oh. The monkeys. Let's just say they’re not as cute and cuddly as the Instagram photos suggest. Okay, they *are* cute... from a distance. They’re also brazen, opportunistic, and incredibly intelligent. They *will* steal your food. And they will look you directly in the eyes while doing it.
One time, I left a bag of chips on the balcony for like, *five minutes*. Five minutes! Came back to a scene of complete mayhem. Monkeys everywhere. The chip bag ripped open. Chips... you name it. Pure chaos. They even tried to get *inside* the treehouse once! It was like a scene from a low-budget horror film. I now live in constant fear of a monkey uprising.
My advice? Keep all food tightly sealed. And maybe consider investing in a very strong security system... for your snacks.
Food & Drink – What's the grub situation?
The food is, thankfully, a redeeming feature. It’s delicious. Local, fresh, and flavorful. Think South Indian specialties. Spicy curries. Fluffy idlis. Strong, delicious coffee. (Coffee is *essential* for dealing with monkeys, bathroom situations, and general jungle life). Some places will offer you a choice, but if you're eating there, you're eating what they made, more than likely. Sometimes it will be disappointing, sometimes it will be the best thing you've ever tasted.
I went through a period where I ate basically nothing but rice and coffee. That worked for the first few days. By day four, I was craving something *green*. So, it's not the *most* diverse cuisine, but when it’s good, it’s *really* good.
Also, the coffee. Oh, the coffee. Strong. Black. And will keep you awake for hours (helpful for monkey-watching, not so helpful for sleeping). Stock up.
Okay, convinced. How do I get there? What's the logistics like?
This… depends. Usually it's a car ride. If you're flying, you'll likely fly into Mangalore or Bangalore. From there, you're looking at a (gorgeous!) drive. The roads are… well, they’re roads. So pack some motion sickness medication if you’re prone, or listen to music, or you'll spend half of your trip puking. Make arrangements with the place you're staying to get you there; most of the smaller treehouse escapes won't have clear instructions by themselves.
Once you get there, the real adventure begins. Be prepared to… disconnect. Limited Wi-Fi. Which, honestly, is a good thing. Force you to *actually* relax and appreciate the surroundings. But also… means you're cut off from the world. Make sure you let people know where you are and when they can expect to hear from you.
And pack light. You’ll be climbing stairs. Remember? And stairs are not your friend with a massive suitcase.
