Coconut Farm Stay | Private Pool Rooms | Mountain facing Rooms | Garden Rooms

Set in a lush 10-acre coconut farm, bordering the Sarcarpathy River, By The Riverside – a boutique nature resort in the foothills of Sethumadai is your gateway to experience and explore the uncharted territories that lie deep in the pristine parts of untrodden Pollachi.

As the name suggests, the property is blessed with a steady gurgle of the river that will be a constant companion during your stay here. The lingering bird calls and the caressing breeze from the swaying coconut palms will offer a calm respite from the hectic dose of modern life.

The resort comprises six aesthetically designed rooms with a common space that opens out to lush green coconut fields on one side and a manicured lawn area that extends to the riverbed on the other side.

Both green and glamorous, the interior flaunts minimalist, contemporary décor, cozy, well-appointed beds, and spacious rooms that allow you to experience the surrounding natural elements in the least obstructive ways.

Life is blissful here, By There Riverside! During your time here, you can go for a brisk nature walk through the coconut plantations in the mornings, laze around in a private pool during the day, enjoy the evening chorus of birdsongs from the balcony and fall asleep to the gentle sounds of a river gushing by.

Perhaps the most opulent ode to privacy and indulgence, our pool rooms come with a large, spacious bedroom, an alfresco bathing area, and your own personal pool area where you can relax and stare at the blue skies and swaying palms above, from the depth of your own private pool.

With an option of setting up the barbecue by the poolside, these rooms are apt for some barefoot indulgence. Indeed, nothing beats watching the sunset over cocktails on your private pool arena, even if you only go swimming occasionally.

For those who love being outdoors, your evenings would mostly consist of walking along the foothills, looking for birds, giant squirrels, langurs, sambar deers, and other native wildlife. On a lucky day, you may be gifted with a truly exhilarating experience of witnessing an elephant herd that roams these forests.

At the end of the walk, as darkness descends, you’ll sit down to sip some hot chai, soak in the pleasant silence, inhaling and imbibing the essence of an undisturbed jungle, broken only by bird calls and langur hootings.

The same nature walk will present you with a varied charm during the post-monsoon and summer months when you can gaze at sublime sunsets and the gorgeousness of the changing forest scape decorated by flowering trees of diverse shades.

The next day, a tour of the nearby villages for handicrafts, pottery making, and a visit to an organic farm that makes hand-made soaps and cold-pressed oils and later to a handloom weaving village will complete your wholesome Pollachi experience!

The alluring ambiance and immersive experience apart, one of the high points of visiting our resort is the sumptuous, home-cooked Chettinad cuisine, prepared with hand-ground spices at the resort’s in-house restaurant.

There are a number of things you’ll take away with you after your stay at By The Riverside -precious memories, priceless moments in the lap of Nature, lingering taste of delectable mouth-watering cuisine you’ve enjoyed. You may even come back with your newfound love for birds and wildlife.

A holiday at By The Riverside will not only immerse you into the world of countryside living but will reward you with a special sense of well-being.

In essence, an elaborate stay at By The Riverside offers you the best chance to connect with one of Pollachi’s most alluring natural environments – a promised land where you’ll let your spirits soar high as the silence of Nature surrounds you!
