MOTOFOODIE

Nestled within a 100-year-old, 50-acre coffee plantation in Siddapura, Coorg, Riverside Coffee – Estate Stay offers a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, complemented by delicious food and warm hospitality.

Perfect for couples, families, and groups, this pet-friendly boutique estate stay features four independent cottages.

The cottages blend earthy, minimal architecture with comfortable modern amenities. Each cottage comes with a private outdoor deck, an air-conditioned bedroom, and a bathroom equipped with a bathtub.

The property also offers spacious and secure outdoor parking for cars and motorcycles within the estate premises.

Managed by Rishwin and Natya since 2019, Riverside Coffee – Estate Stay can accommodate approximately 12–16 guests, making it a good choice for group getaways.

The Highlight: Delicious Food!

If there is one reason I would happily return to Riverside Coffee – Estate Stay, it is the food.

Every meal is a delightful experience, with a multi-cuisine spread featuring authentic Coorg, Continental, and Kerala dishes.

From freshly prepared kadambuttu and akki rotis to local favourites such as Coorg-style veg mango curry, chicken stew, chicken coconut gravy, and even a simple dal fry, the food is consistently delicious and satisfying.🤤

All meals are hearty, home-cooked, and prepared with a level of care that reflects the true spirit of an estate stay.🤤🫶🏼

A note on food ordering:

• Full Menu: Guests need to pre-order lunch, snacks, and dinner before 3 PM.
• Café Menu: Coffee, tea, and snacks such as pizzas, wraps, sandwiches, and cakes are available between 10 AM and 6 PM. These do not require advance ordering.

A Coffee Shop Within the Estate

Adding to the experience is a dedicated coffee shop within the estate premises. It offers a full café menu featuring freshly brewed coffee, tea, pizzas, wraps, sandwiches, cakes, and other snacks.

What makes it even more special is that the estate is involved in making and roasting its own coffee. So, if you’re a coffee enthusiast, this is a great coffee shop to enjoy freshly prepared coffee while soaking in the peaceful plantation surroundings.

Whether you want to grab a quick cup of coffee, enjoy a relaxed breakfast, or spend some time unwinding with a book or board games, the café is a lovely space to slow down and enjoy the estate experience.😊

Hospitality That Feels Personal

From the moment we arrived, the hosts and staff made us feel welcome and comfortable.

Whether it was accommodating meal preferences or simply taking the time to chat and share local insights, every interaction felt warm and genuine.

It is this personal touch that makes the experience feel more like staying at a home than at a commercial property. ❤️
