Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Kodaikanal Lake

Karuna farms is not just a stay, it is an experience. An experience so refreshing that you will carry it with you when you go back. It is a place to explore within itself with lot of things to cover - waterfall, pool, yoga, trekking and most importantly the rock. What is more important to cover at this place, is just sitting back and experience the nature around you, through out my stay I could hear birds chirping, stream flowing, leaves falling and all the other elements that connects you with nature. If you are looking for a place to escape from the urban set-up to something peaceful and refreshing, Karuna farms is the best place. Hrudayavasi is a villa type set up with in Karuna farms, it has some transcendental energy that let you connect with your soul. The portraits of Lord Krishna setup all over the place are so beautiful and you can just stare at them observing the details. Overall this is a great place for having a refreshing experience and getting closer to nature.

I loved the place, it’s private. I wish we had a better view as major part of the view was blocked by construction happening. Place is nice and cozy. Care taker helped us with everything. Kitchen could be a bit cleaner as we planned to cook. Restaurant above was amazing and served us very nice hot food. Special thanks to Satya and his mom to feed us well through our stay.

Had a great time at Jo's even though we had limited time. The host and the caretaker was very helpful. While we checked in, it was late in the night so we didn't realise the property had such beautiful views but we were stunned when we woke up in the morning. About the place it is located in a quiet and private spot with beautiful views from every corner of the property. We definitely will come back again. The jeep ride to reach the property in the night was thrilling

Exceptional host, immaculate space, and perfect location. Highly recommend! 🙌🏠"

It was absolutely amazing! The place had a traditional structure yet so modern. It all felt very natural and beautiful amidst the buzz of Kodaikanal, private and perfect. They have a caretaker who helps out, and he was very sweet and the fact that we booked this cottage absolutely made our trip. Definitely would visit again.

Great place close to the heart of the city. Perfect for big groups and the property is very well managed. The hosts were always quick to respond and catered to our needs perfectly!

The property was cozy, clean, which made it a perfect getaway with a big group to spend time with. The host was exceptionally responsive and friendly, always available to assist with any queries. The cottage itself was well-equipped with all the essentials, making it feel like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a relaxing stay at Kodaikanal.

we were 9 people stayed here it was very well maintained property very clean The food provided was good we liked the breakfast very much the host said only dosa and idli is available but both were really tasted very good The host knows only tamil but he tried hard and somehow we communicated so that was not a problem we stayed for 2 nights one night we had some wifi problem I don't know but texted the host and he said it's due to rain other than that every thing was good Their cabin rooms are so cool and cozy and the view from there is also nice

Stayed at Misbha Homestay for 2 nights and had a really pleasant experience. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The location was peaceful, perfect for relaxing. The host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.Savoury home made food is also available. It is a great option if you're looking for a cozy and budget-friendly stay. Definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Great place to stay , 15 min drive to city center

We had a peaceful stay,the climate was also really good and host response was good throughout the whole stay

Wow beautiful place to be with your loved one , we came around sunset time , sky was so colourful , not to miss the sunrise and walk to dolphin nose through pine forests , many good restaurants and cafés near by . Thanks for hosting

This is by far the most amazing place I've ever had the opportunity to stay at! The only regret I have is not choosing to stay longer, but I've made a pact to return hopefully every year from now on. The location was absolutely stunning with lush landscapes, a cascading waterfall, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, I mean, what else can a nature lover ask for? India is truly, truly beautiful and with places like Mathew's that allow guests to experience one of India's diverse geographical beauties, one can be said to be blessed to have the opportunity to stay here! The stay was peaceful, private and definitely healing. The place was easy to find with the help of Waze, but the ascend and descend is strenuous, especially for people who are not very used to climbing steep steps, slightly treacherous and definitely not suitable for the elderly. The staff were very helpful and efficient when it came to receiving us, helping us with our luggage and delivering our food. Highly recommended!!!!!!

It was a very pleasant stay so much so that we did not want to leave. Senthil and his family were very welcoming and friendly. Food was really homely and everything was very well taken care of. Didnt expect so many amenities in the middle of a forest ! Thank you senthil

Awesome and beautiful place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.Extremely helpful hosts yummy food and peaceful location.Couldnt ask for something more than what we got.Should definitely stay here which is offbeat rather than the regular Kodaikanal stays. There's no wifi in the location around but that's okay.Had walked upto poondi from here and back which is going to be an everlasting memory for us.

We had the time of our life at this beautiful Airbnb in Kodaikanal! The place was incredibly pretty surrounded by nature, peaceful vibes, and stunning views. It was exactly what we needed a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. The hosts were warm and welcoming, making our stay even more special. Can’t wait to come back again!

I had the pleasure of staying at Wandernest in Kodaikanal, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The property is hosted by Priyanka and Shyam, who are not only lovely and wonderful hosts but also highly professional and enthusiastic. Their warm hospitality made us feel completely at home. They even helped us arrange transportation for our field visit and were always ready to assist with a smile. The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning, offering a peaceful and scenic escape from the hustle of daily life. The food was also fantastic—fresh and delicious. A special mention goes to their adorable beagles, Simbha and Leela, who added so much charm to our stay. The caretaker was equally attentive and kind. What touched us most was their thoughtful and inclusive approach, especially towards a special child in our family—they made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. We felt like we were staying in a home away from home. We love to visit again and highly recommend it to all.

Amazing place worth the price, walkable from Altaf cafe, though the vehicle can’t reach there directly it is bit on top so have to walk only.

very good and responsive host . good food. the view of kodaikan al from this place is a visual feast to eyes.
