I stayed here for 3 nights in June 2013. Villa Retreat is located right next to Coakers Walk and is walkable distance from Coakers Walk, Bryant Park and Kodaikanal Lake. The staff is very courteous and provide all the relevant information. Stayed in Room 205, the interiors can be improved for the rate being charged but the room was clean,... More

Small resort with limited space; Good valley view and share the same gate with coakers walk; Best part is the staff courteousness and service; Food is good and the cost is reasonable; The room is very average for the cost.They charge extra for the garden view, but not worth it. Better take a standard room or go for a valley... More

Value for Money! But the practise of putting a mattress on the floor and charging about 1500 Rs/night is awful. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Location is incredible and we had a bison walking into the lawn:)

Private Garden, Verandah and a born fire place. A full time maid to serve the home style food and at your convenience. It almost felt that I was... More
