Peaceful gardens well planted with fruit trees surround this unique Kodaikanal house. Two sunny rooms with private baths, detached from the main house, make the stay truly memorable. Relax…on the porch, or perhaps in the quiet of the living room where a log fire awaits you on chilly days.
Set away from the bustle of the town centre, the lush lawns provide many places to relax in the sun or just savor quiet moments alone…wander through the garden escorted by two playful dogs and see unusual organic fruit and vegetables growing. A delectable full western breakfast is served every morning in the dining room. |
