Destiny has fallen hard from grace!

We went with high hopes based on my earlier experience with Destiny Farmstay 15 years ago. The recent trip was terribly disappointing and horrible - a shame that it fell so hard from grace! Here are the points why I recommend you don't waste your money here: Accessibility: It hasn't improved in years! Still a zero in accessibility for the handicapped and senior citizens. The approach road still takes you through a 30 minute bumpy ride. Hygiene: Poorer than a below average hotel! Towels were dirty, sheets were dirty, and the hygiene at the restaurant is a sure deal breaker! Room: Room was spacious but the toiletry was pathetic and of poor quality. We stayed in super premium room that didnt have a fan or AC or heater. The towels were dirty. There was kettle but no spoons to stir tea. Tea bags were poor. Food: Horrible! They served us dal that had gone bad, a raita that was not a raita but just cut cucumber put on top of curd, and water that had a dead fly floating in it! The restaurant was filthy in all aspects. Staff: Not trained much. Everyone seems busy but no one is really serving an experience that we once cherished at the same property. The staff uniform looks dirty ... everyone's! Again, shows that the overall focus on hygiene is absent. Overall: Highly overpriced! I would not recommend you coming all the way here to experience all the things at their worst. Views you can experience in Coonoor and Ooty while avoiding all the ill feeling.

Worst Resort Ever Visited

The worst resort I have ever visited… Right from the time we checked in… Very rude staff… No proper staff for service… there was no management by the higher level staff… Every staff back answered upon asking anything… They have activities for which they didn’t have proper trained personnel… Fishing activity where the attendant didn’t know how to swim and an incident occurred where a 2 year girl in our group fell in the water and there was no help from the attendant there… WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO VISIT THE PROPERTY EVEN IF THEY CALL U FOR FREE

Good (enough) but not great -- given the price

The farm resort is nice enough and the people are generally friendly but not entirely competent always. Food and drinks generally took a long time. The playground needed some repair on the swings (simple repair) and it never really got done. The room is fine, simple, but not the luxurious abode advertised on the Destiny web site. Getting to the resort involves 3km of a very very bumpy road -- which need not be so uncomfortable but the vehicles used have absolutely no suspension. A better vehicle would make the ride much easier. The food was good but not great -- the selection was ok. Again not too bad at all but for the resort price, one would expect more on that front. The kids activities have lots of potential but they are stopped after 20-30 mins as they need to staff elsewhere. For example, for the towel origami, the lady just showed the kids what she does with towels but there was no time for the kids to actually try it out themselves. For the pot painting, the kids had to quickly do one layer of paint but there was no time to let the paint dry and do a 2nd layer. For everything, the activities could have really busied the kids; instead, they were finished and unsatisfied and looking for something else to do. ALso, the activities did not always start on time, sometimes they started earlier, sometimes later so we missed some and waited for some. Horseback riding: my daughter is a good horseback rider so I suppose we are picky but the staff have very little idea of keeping horses well and getting lay people to ride. The horseback riding session involved going around a track once for about 2-3 minutes, no more. This is not proper riding -- such a pity with the open spaces and beautiful surroundings but to let people get off the property, one needs horse riders who are fairly professional and know what they are doing with horses...

Amazing vacation experience amidst the refreshingly cool Ooty climate. The farm animals, the adventure activities all were welcomed with curious and gleeful cries from the children. Special mention on the sheep feeding, cow milking, horse grooming-all first time experiences for all of us🥰. Nice fresh calming food, the treks, the play area, the kids special craft and origami activities wooed us parents too😃 Top it off with the clean rooms with no TV , the very pleasant staff, special mention to the very energetic Mr Ainul Haque of the restaurant staff and Ms Radhika of the sheep feeding session. So..Thank you very much Destiny.. we enjoyed a relaxed stay and are returning refreshed. Thank you.

Unforgettable Family Getaway at Destiny Farmstay, Ooty: Nature, Adventure, and Exceptional Hospitality

During our recent family trip to Destiny Farmstay in Ooty, we had a great time. The views were amazing, and the place felt very relaxing. Our room was comfortable, and we really enjoyed the food, which was fresh and tasty. We tried lots of activities like horse riding and ziplining, which were fun for both the kids and adults. The staff, especially the manager Sujith and the reception trainee Rakshita, were very friendly and helpful. Overall, our stay at Destiny Farmstay was just what we needed to unwind and have fun as a family. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to enjoy nature and try some new activities.
