Farm stay in Manalur

lonliest Est Kodaikanal range

SantoshRating, 5 stars16 months ago

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!

The stone cottage is nestled among greenery, showcasing a blend of natural rock and vibrant foliage. A large tree and shrubs frame the entrance, while the upper balcony is visible, adorned with rustic wooden railings. The evening sky casts a soft glow over the property.

Amazing Place! Property is 30 Mins from Kodai Lake and is located on a small hill. The Bungalow is clean and had a functioning kitchen. We had caretakers Selvam and Mary who helped us in setting up the Bonfire and morning breakfast. Bungalow is surrounded by forest and is on a small hill. You need to push your vehicle on a slope to reach parking and it can get slippery when raining. There is an early morning trek that you can take to reach on top of the hill and is worth it. Property was spacious and well maintained, you can easily fit 9-10 adults in it. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a peaceful stay where you want to be isolated from the hustle of the city.

A balcony view presents sweeping landscapes of rolling hills and lush greenery under a partly cloudy sky. The iconic Perumal Peak rises majestically in the distance, offering a serene backdrop. A wrought-iron railing enhances the outdoor space, inviting relaxation amidst nature.

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.

M town Homestay (Annexe-II)

PavithraRating, 5 stars4 months ago

"We had a delightful 3-night stay at M Town Homestay (Annexe-II). The location is stunning, with a spacious balcony offering beautiful views, making mornings refreshing and lively. Nearby tea stalls and tiffin shops added to the convenience. Mr. Amalraj’s hospitality was top-notch—kind, attentive, and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, cleaned daily, and well-equipped with all essentials. Room heaters and fresh drinking water ensured comfort for all, including elderly guests. Special thanks to Mr. Murali, the gracious host, for providing such excellent facilities. Highly recommended for a stay in Kodaikanal!"

Sky House; cliffside Villa with view & orchard

NethraRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I stayed here with my family and we had an absolutely peaceful, private, and relaxing getaway. The home is perfectly nestled in a scenic spot with a breathtaking viewpoint right in front of the house — waking up to that view every morning was such a treat. The cooler temperature due to the location was something we genuinely enjoyed — it added to the cozy and refreshing vibe of the place. The house itself had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, and we felt right at home. A special shoutout to the caretaker, who was incredibly kind and cooked the most delicious meals during our stay. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a serene escape surrounded by nature!

British House in kodaikanal (friends group/family)

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews4 months ago

We friends had a wonderful stay at British House in Kodaikanal. The property offers a lovely view from the backside, just as shown in the photos. The restrooms were exceptionally clean, and the overall hygiene was impressive. The host was very friendly and accommodating, making the stay even more enjoyable. The check-in and check-out process was flexible, which was a big plus. The only downside was that the firecamp wasn't included in the booking and cost ₹1,000, which felt slightly expensive. While it’s the standard rate in Kodaikanal, they could consider either reducing the price or including it as a complimentary feature in the booking. That said, the firecamp spot itself was fantastic and truly the cherry on the cake. Overall, a highly recommended place for anyone visiting Kodaikanal.

Tulips villa by a cliff

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews1 month ago

Property is an oldish 4BHK Duplex on a cliff. You can see the beautiful valley from here. Andavar temple is walkable from here. It has got enough parking for 3 cars. Anand was the caretaker for us. We got good help and tasty food for us as well from him. Bonfire in the night is amazing. Since the property is next to a cliff, it was breezy with cold air (much colder than city). Building is slightly old with older furnishing but not much of a concern though. Hot water was available for bathing.

Alpine Abode Stay

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews1 day ago

A beautiful home with incredible views, it's the best place we've stayed in Kodai so far. The location is perfect, with the right amount of privacy yet barely 15-20 minutes away from the main city. We were also able to order in pretty easily, and the house is well equipped with all the amenities. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Kodai. Pradeep is a wonderful host, and Ramesh (the caretaker) is supremely helpful. A wonderful experience!

No words are enough to describe how great our experience was. The property was beautiful, well maintained and had everything we needed for a small staycation. The host was very kind and allowed us to do an early check-in as well. The house help spoiled us with amazing homecooked food. There is a stream nearby that was a delight, you can walk to it to sit by the water. There are multiple balconies which provide excellent avenue for sunrise / sunset and star gazing at night.

Libellule Organic Farm

5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews3 months ago

A gem of a place. Easily one of the nicest Airbnbs we have stayed in. The hosts, Helene and Vishnu, their family, and the local community who work in the farm are lovely people. They are around for all queries, but leave you with ample privacy. The cottage is tastefully done, it seamlessly blends into the setting and each nook and corner allows the outside to creep in. Nature provides the rest of the magic, it’s beautiful beyond description. We do hope that we’ll be able to visit again.

Stargaze India

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews2 weeks ago

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.

Heart of Kodaikanal Perfect a Relaxing Getaway!"

NehaRating, 5 stars10 months ago

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Kodai Sky View in Kodaikanal, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a beautiful ambiance that set the tone for a perfect getaway. Location: The homestay is ideally located amidst lush greenery, offering stunning views of the hills and valleys. It's conveniently close to major attractions like Coakers Walk, Rose Garden etc, yet far enough to provide a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Accommodation: The room we stayed in was cozy, well-furnished, and impeccably clean. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the beautiful balcony view and the eucalyptuses in the front yard, which added to the charm of the stay. Hospitality: The hosts were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all our needs were met.

A serene outdoor area features a small pool surrounded by earthy tones. A large tree overhead is adorned with warm string lights, creating a cozy ambiance. The landscape hints at a lush mango orchard in the background, enhancing the tranquil setting.

Mango House

AkankshaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The Mango Orchard is a magical place to stay. We and our dogs had a great time. The place is huge and well managed. There were peacocks in the day and a very starry sky at night. Would highly recommend the place to someone looking for peace and tranquility

A water pump set is situated within a lush green setting, surrounded by palm and bamboo trees. Water flows gently from the spout into a small basin. Natural light filters through the foliage, creating a serene environment perfect for relaxation.
