Sunset Vista Homes
Perfect stay for a great getaway !!! My kids really loved the place at first sight ! The bunker bed is the spotlight for them. The locality, view point were awesome! The caretaker Mr. Murali was always just a call away. He was really helpful and strives to provide the best support possible. We visited as a family of 6 and the stay had the basic Kitchen utensils to cook, Hot water Geysers, Power backup, good view at the balcony. The Aeolian tone at night make up perfect combo for staying with Nature ! Will definitely prefer this place again on our next stay at Kodaikanal! Thank you Mr. Murali and Kavya Mam !

Lake Shore Cottage. 2 Bedroom.Overlooking the lake
Had a wonderful stay with family. Great location and very near to lake and enjoyed walking around the lake. Caretaker was really helpful and prepared delicious homely food. It has good car parking space and scenic lawn. Would like to stay here again.

Sommaro, a house on Swedish Hill
Beautiful vintage home with stunning interiors and equally gorgeous gardens and views. The place was so peaceful and charming, we didn’t even feel like exploring the city. Great host and caretaker—everything was smooth and welcoming. A perfect retreat.

Sama Farms Superior Triple Room
My stay at Sama Farms was truly wonderful. The tranquil location provided a perfect escape from the chaos of city life. Mr. Biswajith, our host, was incredibly supportive, always ready to assist my family and me. We ordered food, and it was not only provided promptly but was also delicious and felt like home-cooked meals. A special thanks to Mr. Karan, the assistant at the farm, for his invaluable help. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a few days away from the city's hustle and bustle. One suggestion I have is to consider adding some signboards along the road, as I found it a bit challenging to navigate without them. While Google Maps was generally accurate, it's not always reliable. Overall, it was an amazing stay!

Camp Kurinji
This place is more beautiful than the pictures shown. The view of the Palar dam is a rare sighting when the fag clears up. temperature was around 21 degress in May. the Host was a trye gentleman and kind heart.

KODAIKANAL ANAGIRI VINTAGE VILLA
It was a serene and refreshing stay, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life! Waking up to the melodious chirping of birds and a stunning mountain view was truly magical. The hosts, John and Daise, went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, checking in regularly to cater to our needs. The food, prepared on request, was delectable, and they even arranged a cozy bonfire that added a special touch to our evenings. I highly recommend this place for anyone planning a trip to Kodaikanal!

Sky House; cliffside Villa with view & orchard
If you forget to close the windows at night, the thick mountain fog will creep in like a ghost — and by morning, you might not even see the person sleeping beside you. The mist swallows everything, turning the room into a cloud — beautiful!! Tucked away in nature, this serene villa offered a peaceful escape with panoramic views, perfect for unwinding and recharging. Wake up to birdsong, sip coffee and enjoy the gentle stillness all around. It's a space made for true relaxation. Ideal for couples or family and friends, seeking quiet, beauty, and uninterrupted peace. It's slightly off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle — but that’s part of the charm. The kind of place you'll want to return to again.

ECONUT FARMHOUSE
The place is simple, but location makes a mighty difference. The mood in the hills change every few minutes and you get to see panoramic views of the changing moods. The caretakers are kind and good people. They cooks tasty meals. Only two shortcomings: There are no shops nearby; you have to go five kms for that, but you can overcome the issue by stacking stuff before you enter. Second is that the farmhouse is close to a double bend and hence there is persistent honking by vehicles. But the positives far outweigh the shortcomings. Overall a very pleasant experience, as the views from the farm is too scenic and makes up as a huge plus . Would like to visit again in future. Highly recommended...

A Frame for romantic getaway in Enchanting Stay
Nice place to stay in Kodaikanal

Jacaranda villa ! Beyond imagination
it was an incredible experience. The home was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable, making it a perfect getaway spot. The well-maintained lawn was a delightful place to relax. What truly stood out was the delicious food prepared there. Every meal was flavorful and satisfying, and the barbecue was a real highlight of the stay. The evenings around the bonfire, enjoying good food and great company, created unforgettable memories. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Kodaikanal.

Stargaze India
It’s a beautiful boutique property in an off beat location within Kodaikanal. Staying in a dome was a completely new experience for us. It’s a very tastefully done up, spacious dome with supreme quality & all modern amenities in it. Pandi , the caretaker was just a call away & always available with a smile on his face. The food is basic for obvious reasons, due to its remote location . The approach road to Stargaze is a little tough but 4x4 jeep sent helped to scale through smoothly. My advice will be to go with minimum expectation & enjoy the property. Carry your own games, music & drinks. On the improvement front it will be nice for the property to have some entertainment during the day ie board games as there is no such arrangement. You are on your own.
