The main building is a striking example of early colonial architecture. It is known to have been built in the late 1800s and has been rumoured that it was intended for a potential royal visit. This is reflected in the turrets and tower on the north face of the building.

It is situated in green tea fields in spectacular scenery and enjoys year round temperate climate.

It is the last remaining Guest Home of the Nilgiri Christian Guest Homes Association.
