"Serendipity - the word that best describes the arrival of my great great grandfather and his brothers, in 1830 to The Nilgiris. They, like the brothers in the Persian fairytale, The Three Princes of Serendip, had the gift of making happy discoveries by chance and Ootacamund was one of them.
Nearly ten years ago, we decided to lovingly restore some of the beautiful properties they once owned and open them as guest houses and boutique hotels, under the name SerendipityO. O is for Ooty, our home in the hills for over one hundred and seventy five years."

Delhi"We had a great vacation in and around Ooty. We enjoyed every moment of our stay both at Lymond House and Northern Hay. Even our visit to McIver at Coonoor for lunch was great. We liked the way your staff took care of each and every thing that we needed and made us feel at home. Your visit to meet us is appreciated. Coming across elephants and the majestic tiger on Northern Hay safari was the icing on the cake. We missed out on Amberina, we are sure we will come back for that."

Bengaluru“Northern Hay has given us the ultimate getaway from our city. The rich mix of English Style resorts nestled among the quiet coffee plantation is a dream. From the king size beds to the minute attention to detail, everything pleased us to the core. The safari was thrilling. The silence and the noise of the forest with such comfort of multi-cuisine food also added to the entire experience.”
