Smyrna Fellowship Trust was started by Margit Stefansson in the year 1985 in Smyrna Campus.Smyrna Guest House which is a part of Smyrna was set up by a British couple,is a refurbished colonial property,half a mile from the Ooty bus & train stations.The Honeymoon Suite II is a romantic hideaway, with a comfy couch in front of the fireplace, a luxurious bed, a spacious bathroom with a bathtub, and a kitchenette area. One of 6 rooms in a 180 year old house. A complimentary breakfast is provided.

The space
People come to us for a respite from the heat and noise of the plains, for cosy fires, clean air and clear starlit skies. A heritage of colonial architecture and well-established gardens offer a taste of luxury, tranquility and relaxation that nourishes the soul. Our hill top was originally bought from the Toda tribe by a bishop, who built the house you'll be staying in around 200 years ago. It is surrounded by farmland and tea fields, you can walk down to the railway track and along it to Lovedale where a Toda temple can still be seen, as well as bison, deer and Malabar Giant Squirrels. Otherwise you could walk up the way for breathtaking views of Ooty town and the race course. Failing that you could take a blanket out onto the lawn and have a nap underneath the spreading chestnut tree. Just don't let the sheep nibble your toes if they are out!

All proceeds from the guest house will be given to Smyrna Fellowship Trust, a registered charity which serves the poor of the Nilgiris from the same campus. There is a day care centre for those with disability and a home for the abandoned elderly also situated on the campus. We arrange the educational sponsorship of over 500 children from poor communities and various house-building and welfare projects in the area. If you'd like to know more about our work then please ask. We can arrange to show you around and give you a chance to interact with some of our extended community.

A British couple, we have been working for Smyrna Fellowship Trust as Development Consultants for the last 3 years and came up with the idea of refurbishing the guest house to make it an income generating project for the charity. We designed the rooms to do justice to the colonial heritage of the building whilst giving them a modern twist, roaring fireplaces, comfy beds, tall ceilings, teak floors, all giving that hint of grandeur and luxury. We are also planning to open a cool coffee shop adjacent to the building at the end of the year so this campus can become a hub where social work and recreation can intersect. We want our customers and guests to relax and enjoy our beautiful campus, whilst supporting the important work of Smyrna here in the Nilgiris. We came to Ooty to make a difference to those in need, and we are delighted to give you the same opportunity!! We also live on campus with our four kids but are entrusting the day to day management of the guest house to Baktha Singh and Vinola, a husband and wife team in charge of hospitality. So you will be in direct contact with them, but please say hello if you see us around. We hope you enjoy staying with us, thank you for your support.
