Places to stay in Kodaikanal

We had an amazing 2-day stay at Manalasu Villa, Kodaikanal with family, including my 9-month-old son. The villa was peaceful, and the caretaker was very friendly. The food they prepared was delicious, and we loved the bonfire and barbecue in the lawn. The owner was incredibly kind and ensured our forgotten belongings were safely delivered to us in Chennai. Overall, it was a comfortable and memorable experience. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

We are a family of 7 and recently visited Kodaikanal. We were looking for a spacious and comfortable place to stay, and we found Jarcanda Villa. It was the perfect place for our family! The villa is a beautiful vintage property that is very well maintained, with plenty of space for everyone. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped, making sure we felt at home. We especially loved the peaceful surroundings and the breathtaking views. The host was incredibly friendly and ensured we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. One of the highlights was the barbecue – it was absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend everyone try it. The campfire experience in Kodaikanal’s cool climate was unforgettable and really added a special touch to our trip. While a few things in the bathroom could use some attention, these minor negatives are completely overshadowed by the positives of the property. We highly recommend Jarcanda Villa to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and enjoyable getaway!!!

I had an amazing stay at a super clean and well-maintained Airbnb in Kodaikanal. The rooms were neat and tidy, with a stunning view from both the balcony and bedroom. The location was calm, quiet, and private, yet easily accessible to the main town. The kitchen was fully equipped with a cooking gas stove and fridge, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. Although car parking was 50 meters away, it wasn’t a hassle. The helpful caretaker made the stay even more comfortable. Overall, a perfect spot for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

"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!"

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The cozy, well-decorated space made me feel right at home. The host was incredibly accommodating and attentive to every detail. From the comfy bed to the thoughtful amenities, it was a memorable experience. I'll definitely be booking here again!

The host and the manager welcomed us properly. The host gave us early check-in which helped us a lot. The food from the local kitchen (home made food) is of little expensive but the taste if by far the best in the town. I would surely come and stay for sure and will recommend the villa.

the location of the place was great

Our stay in Kodaikanal was truly delightful. The property offered a beautiful and cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The highlight was definitely the stunning view — it was simply breathtaking and added a serene charm to our stay. While the location was a bit far from the center, we found that the tranquility and panoramic view more than made up for it. It’s a peaceful getaway perfect for unwinding. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Kodaikanal.

One of those rare times when you can’t wait for the trip to end and leave a review for the abode, this was it for me. The cottage, the space, the surroundings, the space, everything was straight out of Pinterest!! Yes, you read it right. My sisters and I felt right at home throughout. Thanks to the perf setting w/ board games, vintage decor, spick & span and spacious kitchen, everything was just as described and shown. Raj Sir, the host was so thoughtful and proactive about our check in and stay, made sure about our route, commute, gave recomms for commute, took care of everything thoroughly. Levin Sir, the manager, double thumbs up to him for delivering us w/ the most delicious food and checking on us for our requirements. This was our first time in the beautiful state of Tamil Nadu, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Definitely saving this place for future visits as well. :)
