The Claridges Corbett Hideaway
|
|
The burnt red of the cottages forms a restful backdrop to
verdant environs. Sloping tiled roofs, cool stone floors
with throw rugs, block wood furniture and other details
allow maximum comfort while continuing the illusion of being
in the wilds. The accent is clearly on nature.
The 40 guest rooms have a clever area separation, for sleeping
and for living, as in a suite. You get a sense of miles
of extra space. Double roomed suites are available for groups
and families.
All the rooms are air conditioned with hot water in baths,
and a refrigerator fulll of cooling drinks.
Outdoors
Apart from a hundred and seventy six mango trees, you can
see at the Hideaway a bountiful jackfruit tree near the
reception, variegated bamboo including sacaram, bushes of
hibiscus, rainflower, gandharaja, ticoma, raat ki rani and
haemilia, azalea aplenty, and guava trees which yield fruit
three times a year!
The grounds are meant for meandering, loitering, meditating
and playing...
A tennis court on the sprawling lawns gives way to the swimming
pool with its languid blue waters, very therapeutic after
a rigorous safari. The poolside bar lets you beer as you
float. Even greater relaxation techniques are available
close by - massage therapy by trained masseurs.
By the time you've worked up a wild appetite, your sense
of smell will lead you to the Gol Ghar, the thatched outdoor
restaurant which lays out magnificent breakfasts, lunches
and dinners. (The nights are generally wilder, with bonfires,
entertainment and bonhomie.)
Indoors
The 20 feet high Gurney House named after the house Jim
Corbett lived in for many years, gives you the civilised
world.
Billiards, where potting the red might come easier than
capturing a tiger with a lens.
Lounging, on sofas, while dreaming of the big cat.
Dining, rather lavishly, on freshly cooked exotica, continental
and Indian flavours. Or sitting on the deck, and listening
to the Kosi. Clinking glasses filled with amber.
Listening raptly to the slide show of the Corbett Hideaway
Chief Naturalist in the meeting hall. References about tigers,
elephants and birds are available right down the path at
the library, a free and easy place where you can sip a cuppa
and browse.
The Nature Shop
Charming souvenirs and memorabilia are for the picking at
The Nature Shop which also stocks herbal cosmetics and fascinating
local crafts.
