There is no pleasure like unwinding when you are one with
nature. High above the rest of humanity. Amidst the lofty peaks
of the blue hills that offer you a magnificent view of the Ooty
valley. Alongside the low clouds that pass by, rubbing shoulders
with you. There’s no pleasure quite like spending a vacation at
Sterling Elkhill. To ensure three times the pleasure, the resort
has been divided into three blocks – A, B and C – with each
block set with sloping roofs and terracotta tiles, and equipped
with a lift to take you to your ‘unwind chamber’. While the hotel block has a splendid view of the town in Ooty, the apartment offers a panorama of nature at its very best. So take your pick! Elkhill offers 22 studio apartments, each with their own garden and sit out, where you enjoy an unforgettable view of the valley even as you breathe fresh, non-polluted air. There are 64 one-bedroom apartments, each of which have a balcony from which the entire Ooty town is seen. You can also choose from 27 two-bedroom apartments that also have a sit out, besides a balcony and offer an equally grand view of the hills. Besides a gamut of entertainment, there are lots of activities for the whole family. While kids have a play area with swings, see-saw and a slide, adults can test their skills in tennis and table tennis. Families have a cosy bonfire area for the evenings and carromboard, chess and a library for their unwind sessions. Weekends are always special with barbecue nights and discotheques. Bonfire, party games and music complete the exhaustive list.
A Travel Desk is at your service to organize cabs for your
sight-seeing purposes, pick-up and drops or for emergency
purposes. Tickets for buses, trains and flights to other cities
can also be organized here. Other special amenities include an
in-house shopping facility in Block C that features a
grocery/gift shop, a discotheque open every Saturday and on
special occasions and an in-house library with loads of
interesting books. For those looking for more shopping choices,
a bazaar 4 kms from the resort and a shopping complex 6 kms away
cater to varied needs. Sterling Elkhill Resort also makes the ideal venue for conferences, seminars and workshops.
