Mountain Utopia

SenthilnathanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our wonderful 10-day stay felt like being in a rustic home with spectacular panoramic mountain views; magical mist often enveloped the house. Balcony/hall views: stunning! The kitchen was fully equipped (gas stove, kettle, microwave, toaster, fridge, mixer, utensils) & the power backup invaluable. As we have kids, this was most important for us. We enjoyed the serene surroundings, perfect for walks among charming bungalows. Helper Rani's service was exceptional: cooking, meticulous cleaning, dishes, beds – truly 5-star hotel service in a home! She, her daughter along with our babysitter even helped with our 2 kids, letting us work during weekdays. Conveniently located , all groceries were a quick 5-min drive to Naidupuram (vegetable, department, electrical, medical stores all nearby). Wholeheartedly recommend this comfortable, scenic, and exceptionally well-supported stay! We would love to visit again.

Tranquil - Atop the ridge

Basil KRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a wonderful stay at this private hillside property, located a bit away from Kodaikanal. It’s a single, standalone home—so no one else around to disturb you. The space includes two well-kept bedrooms, plus a third bed setup upstairs that effectively makes it a 3-bedroom home. The balcony offers a lovely view of the hills and locality, and the house is equipped with a smart TV, kitchen amenities, and a cozy campfire setup for the evenings. The caretaker was responsible and helpful, and the host was extremely responsive throughout. A perfect spot for a peaceful, private, and comfortable getaway.

This property at Kodaikanal will give you feel as if you are staying in Europe. Surendranath is a great host and address all the queries , issues, etc just over a phone call. We enjoyed Barbeque and the Camp Fire most. Very well arranged. Kids loved it. Food was tasty. Most important is that location is so peaceful, that is what we want, one can relax, have a cup of coffee while watching beauty of surrounding Pine Forest.
