Vacation rentals in Balakrishnapuram

This rustic beauty is a hidden gem nestled in the wilderness, offering incredible views of the mountains and free bird concerts at dusk and at dawn. If you want a relaxing and peaceful getaway with your loved ones this place is an excellent option. And, you won’t need to worry about food and safety, as Mehdi and the caretakers will always be there to help you. Of course, we were told that we could be left completely to ourselves if we wished that, so you have that option as well. This plan also has the advantage of a private viewpoint from a steep precipice, which may be rare, especially for a place that’s affordable. Access to this place itself is a bit of adventure, as it involves 2 kms of off-roading. Although, access to the areas within the premises are steep, so older people have to watch out. Also, the tap water is a bit muddy if you care about it. Overall though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and it’s pity that we couldn’t plan to stay longer. Kudos to Mehdi and his team!

We went to this place as a group of 13 and the manager was very proactive and made sure everything was communicated as soon as we booked the place. The care taker contacts a day before and gives directions, details about food so that you can choose what to do. A lot of previous reviews mentioned power issues but we didn't face any. Had power throughout our stay. The plantations and gardens surrounding the property were also nice and picture worthy. Would definitely recommend the place for 1-2 day stay if you are just planning to chill and relax. If you want something closer to Kodaikanal, then this is not the right place since it is about 1-1.5 hrs from Kodaikanal.

I had a wonderful stay at Sashi's place. The location on the main road offers easy access to public transportation, making it incredibly convenient. The apartment was clean, with a fully equipped kitchen and spotless bed. All the provided amenities made the stay comfortable and homely. Highly recommended!
