Starlight Serra Meghna | Duplex Cottage With Private Plunge Pool, Bathtub, Forest-View Balcony & In-House Restaurant

<p>Some stays are about doing less, and doing it beautifully. This A-frame cottage pairs the drama of the forest with a plunge pool of its own, so mornings can start with a quiet swim beneath the canopy with only birdsong for company, and evenings can end with the sky turning pink above the treetops.</p><p>Inside, a sweep of slatted timber rises to a glass gable that fills the ground-floor bedroom with green from wall to wall. A king-sized bed faces the trees, a desk waits for postcards or a little work, and the private balcony is made for slow conversations over coffee. The bathroom brings its own indulgence, a freestanding bathtub for long, unhurried soaks after a day outdoors. Up a wooden staircase, a twin-bedded loft beneath the eaves gives children or friends a cosy corner of their own.</p><p>When you feel like company, the wider resort is a short stroll away. Lounge by the main pool under canopy umbrellas, take tea on the lawns, let the children loose in the play area, or settle into the glass-walled restaurant where crystal chandeliers glow over every meal. A spa session, a sundowner, a floating breakfast in your own pool, a barbecue or a bonfire under the stars can all be arranged, and the caretaker is on hand to help plan the day. After dark, the forest grows quiet but for crickets, and the cool hill air turns your own deck into the best seat in the house for stargazing.</p><p>It is a natural choice for honeymooners, couples marking an anniversary, a small family wanting privacy without giving up the comforts of a resort, or a pair of friends looking for a restorative weekend in the hills.</p><p>Around 16 km from Chikmagalur town, the cottage is a peaceful base for coffee estate walks, drives up to Mullayanagiri and Baba Budangiri, and days spent discovering the waterfalls and viewpoints of the Western Ghats.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bedroom 1</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>625 sq.ft. | King-sized bed | 1 AC unit | Ceiling fan | 43" TV | Electric kettle | Sweeping A-frame ceiling clad in slatted timber | Plush white linen with teal runner and green accent cushions | Wall sconces and warm ambient lighting | Wardrobe and in-room locker | Work desk with ergonomic chair | Full-height glass gable framing the greenery outside | Wooden staircase leading up to the loft | Private balcony with forest view | Located on the ground floor</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bedroom 2</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>300 sq.ft. | Two twin beds | Cosy loft set beneath the sloping timber roof | Wooden balustrade overlooking the bedroom below | Full-height glass gable framing the treetops | Hill view | Located on the first floor</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Bathroom</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ensuite bathroom | Western-style commode with jet spray | Geyser | Shower area with glass partition | Freestanding bathtub | Exhaust | Hair dryer | Fresh towels and toiletries | Round mirror with vessel washbasin</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Balcony</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Private sit-out balcony off the ground-floor bedroom | Wicker chairs with a coffee table | Black metal railing that keeps the view open | Forest view | Located on the ground floor</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Private pool</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>81 sq.ft. private plunge pool | 4.5 ft. deep | Wooden deck surround | Steel pool access ladder | Framed by dense greenery | Forest view | Located on the ground floor</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4><strong>Common Spaces</strong></h4><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Swimming pool (shared)</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Outdoor swimming pool shared across the cottages | 4.5 ft. deep pool with ample space to unwind | Free-form pool wrapped by a stone-paved deck | Sun loungers beneath large canopy umbrellas | Outdoor shower | Poolside tables for leisurely meals | Direct access from the restaurant | Hill and forest view</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Restaurant</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In-house restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner | Double-height dining hall with crystal chandeliers and woven pendant lights | Glass walls opening onto the pool and the hills | Wooden dining tables with cushioned chairs | Alfresco seating along the poolside | Pool and hill view</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Garden</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Landscaped lawns set between the cottages | Outdoor seating area ideal for high tea | Wicker chairs with coffee tables | Outdoor sports equipment | Open sky all around | Hill view</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Kids play area</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Outdoor play area with slides and swings | Colourful play structures set on open lawn | Shaded by mature trees</p>
