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.

shashank r12/02/2025 I recently visited Tamarillo, and it was a wonderful experience. The room was spotless, with an amazing view. The food was homely and absolutely mouth-watering. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and the service was excellent. I’ll definitely be recommending it to my family and friends! Drishti Srivastava10/02/2025 I had an amazing stay hear. The care taker and the chef were really nice people. From the service provided to the food prepared everything was worth it. The building gives you cozy vibes and is best for long term and short term stays. Bindi P07/02/2025 Lovely hotel with amazing views and excellent food. Only downsides were the cats which I don’t like , and it is quite far out from city (but worth it for the views) I found the taxi sightseeing price a bit expensive from what I had paid in other places but good tour round Ooty to botanical gardens etc. The staff were very friendly and I felt safe travelling alone. Nikitha Karkera05/02/2025 Excellent place with a great view. Very good service. Breakfast is very good with variety but the main course could have been better. The staff is very good and polite. They also recommended good places to visit. The place is near the main town area which is a plus point. The rooms are clean and nice. Must visit The image is the view from the stay Kevin Anderson03/02/2025 I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way! The view from the balcony room was truly breathtaking. But what truly made our stay special was the exceptional service from the staff(Appu). They were incredibly kind, humble, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. Sanket Mendon02/02/2025 The Tamarillo is a lovely property located at a prime spot just 10 mins from the main Ooty town. As soon as we reached, they helped us with our luggage and showed us around. The rooms are clean and the property is really beautiful with gardens and a view of a Tea plantation. The breakfast is amazing and so were the appetizers. Vighnesh was kind enough to guide on the places to visit around ooty and coonoor and also with recommendations of shopping areas. A shout out to Appu and Shiva was ensuring we had everything we needed. Thank you Team Tamarillo. Demi Summer Butt02/02/2025 I stayed 7 beautiful days at this wonderful hotel. We had incredible breakfast every day and enjoyed a beautiful campfire every night. The staff were so wonderful and there was nothing they couldn't arrange for you. I was so sad to leave but cannot wait to book my next holiday back at the Tamarillio. Ved Shastri30/01/2025 Ambience very good. Rooms and service nice. Overall experience was very good.
