KODAIKANAL ANAGIRI VINTAGE VILLA
Daisy aunty and John uncle were so welcoming and hospitable in their approach. We felt at home in their Airbnb. Aunty’s cooking felt like home food and the spice level was perfect for the kids. Uncle was gracious to show us around the property and was always happy to talk to us and guide us. Their property is very well located, pristine weather and the campfire is perfect for a weekend getaway. I will most certainly look forward to visiting them again.

Sky House; cliffside Villa with view & orchard
The only place you should book if you want a quiet getaway: it’s away from town therefore peaceful, has the most incredible view of the hills, and cozy interiors with all the amenities. The rooms and kitchen are well equipped and we especially fell in love with the den, the perfect place to unwind over coffee and relax. Elizabeth, the caretaker, is thoughtful and warm and really went out of her way to make our stay comfortable.

Lake Shore Cottage. 2 Bedroom.Overlooking the lake
George is an excellent host, very responsive and attentive, always checking in to ensure our comfort throughout the stay. The cottage is exactly as shown in the pictures—clean, well-maintained, and with a neat bathroom. It's conveniently located right on Lake Road, making it easy to find. The area is calm and peaceful, with a beautiful garden that added to the charm. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed, and the portable heaters in both rooms kept us warm during the chilly nights. Priya, the caretaker, is an absolute gem. Her homemade food is delicious, and we ended up not eating out at all because her cooking was so good! She was always responsive to our needs. We stayed with our 1-year-old and 3-year-old, and both of them enjoyed the space and environment immensely. We will definitely visit again in the future. Highly recommend!

Sommaro, a house on Swedish Hill
We visited this place as family of 6. The house is very quaint and the bedrooms were really spacious and perfect. The property is managed very well and the housekeeper Mercy was extremely helpful. She even made us fire in the indoor pit for the last night. All the water heaters worked perfectly and every room had a tiny room heater as well. Great place to stay. We did have a little difficulty in locating the property but the housekeeper guided us properly.

The cabin
Absolutely one of my most memorable, unique and beautiful stays. Senthil and his family are incredible, hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable. Outstanding job in building this place deep inside a serene forest. The amenities, the quality of furniture and the cabin are top notch. Can’t believe that this was made possible with no good access inside the forest. Can’t wait to be back. Oh and the food…. Delicious

Villa Woodside - minutes from Kodaikanal lake
Such a beautiful place. Secluded and at the heart of the city at the same time. Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, cozy fireplace in the living room and a scenic garden to have your morning coffee. We went as a group of 5, all of us totally enjoyed every moment of our time there. Caretaker Selvi made sure all our needs are met and cooked up a storm on both days based on our needs. Rekha coordinated with us every step of the way and was flexible with checkin and checkout timings. Lake was just a 5 minute drive from the place and we found the easy accessibility super convenient. Would definitely love to visit again :)
