The Tamarillo is a serene, private property with beautifully maintained gardens adorned with a variety of plants. With ample car parking and four cozy rooms featuring hill-style sloped roofs, each room is thoughtfully furnished with wooden accents, warm lighting, French windows, king-size beds, and spacious ensuites. The air might just feel a bit sweeter from the first-floor balcony room, where sweeping views await. Meanwhile, the ground-floor corridor rooms—with extra square footage—are ideal for families and friends.
Corridors and balconies capture a majestic 180º panorama of lush tea plantations and eucalyptus forests, while the covered outdoor dining area on the upper floor features wooden benches and high chairs, providing common access for everyone to enjoy the elevated view. The open-air bonfire zone is designed to bring a natural connection, making The Tamarillo the perfect blend of comfort and nature.
Late Mr. K. Nagaraj, a humble, selfless man known for being fun to be with, had a deep connection to nature and lived by the belief that “Nature has the power to move anyone, young or old.”
A few years ago, rather than renovating his home for his own comfort, his selfless nature drove him to share the space and the joy of being close to nature with the busy world. This led to the establishment of The Tamarillo, a boutique bed and breakfast that offers more than just a place to stay—it offers an experience rooted in nature’s beauty.
At The Tamarillo, it’s not just about luxury—it’s about nature, people, and service. His legacy lives on through this irreplaceable experience, where nature’s serenity, genuine human connection, and heartfelt service are at the heart of everything we do. This is how we honor the remarkable space he founded for all to experience.
What sets us apart? Every member of our team is prepared to step into any role. Whether it’s serving a meal, setting up your bed, organising your plans, or sharing stories, we’re all committed to making your stay smooth and memorable. Because at The Tamarillo, it’s not just about service—it’s about making you feel truly at home.
The Tamarillo, an egg-shaped edible fruit locally referred to as “tee-to-mee-to,” originates from the term “tree tomato.” Today, it stands proudly at the entrance, welcoming all who visit. Throughout the construction of this boutique property, everything transformed—the landscape and the building—except for the Tamarillo tree, which steadfastly remained, allowing our love for it to endure and the name to take hold.

The Bonfire Zone at The Tamarillo is thoughtfully designed to bring guests together. It’s where families from different walks of life slowly connect—through simple self-introductions or with a little help from us. The warmth of the fire melts away barriers, sparking heartfelt conversations. Many have found unexpected friendships here and, for some, even a moment of much-needed peace.
Tejas S A08/05/2025 The location is about 4-5 kms from the ooty bus stand but it is worth the drive. The location is calm and peaceful, service is very good and they arrange sight seeing vehicles as well based on requirements. I had booked this place for my parents travelling from Bangalore and i was very much relaxed as i didn't really need to manage everything remotely. The back office rep Smitha managed everything end to end for me and i didn't have to worry about anything as such. You can rest assured knowing this place and the people are going to make sure the guest has a great time and are safe. They are very transparent about the costing of the services and no additional or hidden charges. I'd Recommend this place for sure. This is going to be my go to place for a stay in ooty Rajan Jayaprakash04/05/2025 Good ambiance. Nice room Roopa A.H01/05/2025 It was a memorable trip.
