This six-room bungalow offers guests a timeless experience—where history, art, and nature come together in serene harmony. 

The heart of Marli Hill reveals itself in its expansive dining area, where guests gather for meals that are as much a celebration of heritage as they are of flavour.

What truly sets a stay at Marli Hill apart are the people who bring it to life —warm, welcoming, and always ready with a smile or a story. Their heartfelt hospitality transforms the experience into something deeply personal.

Marli Hill Bungalow reimagines hospitality with a luxurious yet homely stay, nestled in the heart of Ooty,” said George Joseph, Vice President – Operations, CGH Earth. 

“As part of our Saha collection, an ensemble of handpicked villas and bungalows, Marli Hill represents everything we stand for: authenticity, sensitivity to place, and meaningful experiences. Saha properties are designed for multi -generational family holid ays, friends travelling with families, couples, and even solo travellers looking for something more personal and non -hotel -like. They offer a homely,  intimate setting where a small team takes care of your holiday with warmth and  personal attention.”  

He further added, “Every holiday with CGH Earth Saha brings together unique  experiences from the destination itself. At Marli Hill, our intent was to bring forth  the soul of place and give guests one of the quaintest yet enriching portals to  explore Ooty. Though set in the very heart of the town, it feels wonderfully  removed —offering quiet luxury and a deep sense of connection. It’s a rare kind of  getaway, ideal for families, couples, or solo travellers seeking reflection and an  experience beyond the conven tional.”  

At Marli Hill, guests can unwind in quiet corners —by the fireplace, in the lounge, or  under the garden gazebo—or immerse themselves in thoughtfully curated experiences.  Just 9 km away, Doddabetta Peak offers stunning views of the Nilgiris, while the  Botanical Garden, Rose Garden, and Ooty Lake provide vibrant and scenic escapes.  Nearby attractions like the Thread Garden, Wax Museum, Pykara Waterfalls, and  Wenlock Downs showcase the region’s natural and cultural richness. A ride on the  UNESCO-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway adds a nostalgic touch, with stops at  Dolphin’s Nose and Droog Fort.
