Great place to chill
It’s an awesome villa with great ambience. Staff were very courteous & warm. However, the biggest shortcoming is the lack of wifi in the rooms.

Clean room, helpful staff, good omelete breakfasts. Channel selection on cable was bad. I couldn't find a cricket channel. As a matter of fact, most channels don't get any signal. Gret valley view in the morning. Close to Coakers walk and the Lake.

Villa retreat is located next to the coacker's walk, Byrant park and at walkable distance to the boat house. Except for the crowded roads around, the location is otherwise apt. Do not miss the sunrise from the property which can be viewed from thier open restaurant side. Rooms were okay and decent. Maintanance could be better. Food at the resturant was good. I would recommend the valley facing rooms for the msjestic view. The property has 4w Parking spaces but it could get crowded. They were able to just manage it.

Great location
Excellent location close to the lake and botanical gardens; but the room was very small; bathroom was very basic; overall, room cleanliness can be better; the tv wasn’t working, and the staff couldn’t get it to work

Oasis of peace in the middle of honking country!
So quiet and peaceful, with clean and nice room. These old buildings converted into a charming small hotel make you think you are in the alps!
Great service from the staff, and the manager Sham was full of interesting information on the area and on India in general.

One can enjoy breakfast on the lawn with the best views of Kodaikanal. No need to pay to stroll on Cockers Walk for the same views which is crowded. Rooms are cozy and staff very helpful. Dining is good but one needs to place ones order 30 minutes in advance or enjoy a beer while one waits.
