Having acquired its name after overcoming an illustrious property conflict in the days when cases were taken to the Privy Council in London, Victory Home stands on 100 acres of coffee and pepper plantation. Home to retired army officer Ponappa and his wife Jancy, the house is an ideal retreat for busy city dwellers or travelers who want to take in the pristine surroundings of Coorg.A mild elevation from a winding road leads up to the house, which has been given an intentional weathered look. Having travelled varied parts of India during service, the hosts have ingeniously added in numerous flavours to the construction and intricately carved furniture of the house. Red oxide flooring and plentiful wood used from the estate gives a warm feeling to the house, which is decorated in various brass artifacts and pictures of ancestors. Colour themed rooms in blue, red and yellow are creatively set up with large windows for ventilation. The house is surrounded by abundant flora planted with careless intent, conducive to the wild vicinity of the place.With such a rich experience, there is never a dearth of anecdotes and discussions, whether it is golf, plantations or cities of India, all over some delectable home-made wine. Passionate and experimental with cooking, Jancy is thrilled at serving not only some delectable Coorg food but Chinese and Continental as well
