Corbett Hideaway
 Accommodation
:
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.
The
Nature Shop :
Charming souvenirs and memorabilia are for the picking at
The Nature Shop which also stocks herbal cosmetics and fascinating
local crafts.
Cuisine
:
The resort serves excellent continental food and Indian cuisine.
And a great variety of it all! The specialities of the Kumaoni
region are a favourite feature on the menu. The emphasis is
on freshness of produce.(Remember to ask for minestrone soup,
which is a wee bit spicy but lipsmacking. And the chicken
kakori kababs that give your palate exciting information on
gourmet cooking!)
Confrences
:
Conferences and seminars get transformed into extraordinary
experiences at the Corbett Hideaway.
You can move from the crisp
and efficient environment of the air conditioned conference
hall onto grassy lawns, riverside banks, restaurant deck,
swimming pool which become informal venues for forming close
associations of understanding!
The conference hall can
accommodate 125 people in class formation 150 in auditorium
formation and 25 in an intimate U-shape boardroom formation.
The hotel equipment supports
overhead projection, LCD video projection, slide projection.
You can depend on high quality PA systems and music systems
for the right sound at presentations.
Professional intimacy and
bonding is inevitable in the happy environment of the Corbett
Hideaway. Outdoor management conferences help in team building
activities through organised sports like trekking, safaris,
and white water rafting. All outdoor activites are arranged
in totality by the Corbett Hideaway.
The natural preference for
outdoor excursions is the highly recommended jungle safari
in the Corbett Hideaway Canter bus, with stopover of a day
or more in the park.
Special programmes
are organised by the Hideaway on request:
- Theme dinners and
banquets
- Kumaoni dance
performances with musicians
- Group excursions
