Each Briar Tea Bungalow, Wooden Chalet or Tent has a distinct personality of its own. The compelling reason is the way they are placed in relationship to the topography of the land that surrounds them. For example, Stanmore Garden Bungalow compound is strategically tucked on top of a hillock with a 360 degree view of some magnificent scenery near and far. There is a winding river afar, a Shola which appear in deep forest green, tea gardens on slopes of hills in soul quenching shades of green and still more grass hills and mountains all around in hues of grey and blue. The wind propelled white clouds, sunlight and fog play tricks on the landscape by making far away mountains appear and vanish as you watch. There never is a dull moment. Every sunrise is different and so is each sunset.

Here at Stanmore there are 5 single bedroom wooden chalets built precisely like the wooden chalets at Sirukundra and 2 wooden suites with an additional upper floor and balconies. The lower portion of the double-decker has a living room which can be converted into a bedroom at night, a powder room and a WC. The upper deck has a bedroom, a well appointed bathroom and a large deck with chairs to relax. The view of the river and the hills from the upper deck balcony is simply magnificent. Single wooden chalets have a total area of 430 square feet and an additional front porch. Double-decker chalets have 800 square feet, plus the front porch.
