The one-acre estate includes lawns, garden paths, patios, garden terraces, hammocks, bicycles, bonfire spaces, and the wood-fired pizza oven. From the house, guests can step out for walks around Kodaikanal Lake, visit nearby cafés or the boating area, and return to the quiet of the grounds.

WHAT EVERY STAY INCLUDES

YOUR OWN BUNGALOW, WITH THE DETAILS TAKEN CARE OF

Breakfast, Meals And Room Service

Breakfast is included for every guest. Lunch, dinner, tiffin, grill, and wood-fired pizzas are available on request and charged separately. Tea, coffee, and pantry access are available through the day, and meals can be served indoors, outside in the garden, or to your room, depending on the day’s arrangements.

Daily Housekeeping

The house is looked after through the day, with daily housekeeping, laundry service, fresh towels, luggage help, and house staff on site.

Bungalow Manager

The Bungalow Manager and team are on site to help with arrival walkthroughs, taxis, transfers, bonfire setup, pizza oven setup, local arrangements, concierge help, and practical questions during the stay.

One Acre Grounds

The grounds are part of the stay: lawns, garden paths, patios, hammocks, bonfire spaces, quiet corners, and the wood-fired pizza oven. If both North and South are occupied, the outdoor spaces are shared only between the two bungalow groups.

AS FEATURED IN

This 19th-century bungalow in Kodaikanal has all the makings of a classic summer holiday.

At the Dunnottar Bungalow in Kodaikanal, Scottish and South Indian influences blend seamlessly.

This stately bungalow located on the banks of the Kodai Lake once belonged to Lord Chamberlain in the pre-1947 era. Now, carefully restored by the Puliyadi family, this property exudes charm in spades.
