Elephant Valley 15 Kms from Kodai

The location is extremely beautiful and scenic. We stayed in Kerala house which is having four rooms - two on the ground floor, two on first floor. The rooms on the upper floor have big bathrooms and bath tubs which children liked. A 7 km. trek was organized for us at no extra cost. The guide was extremely courteous and helpful. Curiously there were no major bird sightings considering the place is amongst dense forest. Note that there is no room service, which is a negative experience, specially if it starts raining. It is something that the staff can easily cater without much hassle. We did speak about this to the owner and he was gracious enough to allow the morning tea to be provided in our rooms from second day onwards. The food was alright. The cooks were open to our suggestion is tweaking the recipe slightly to suit our children. Truly appreciate that. There is lounge area where carom board and chess are kept. Apart from trekking and garden walk there are no major activities to keep children occupied hence it is suggested to carry some games (Frisbee, indoor games, cards/UNO) to keep them occupied as leaving the property to go for sightseeing maybe cumbersome since the location is far from main city. If you do go to the main city, the resort can arrange it for your in their vehicle with driver at extra charge of Rs. 2500.

Pros Location and place is nice Silent n close to nature Cooking staff was very humble and polite Cons Hut houses are very costly as compared to other places Food is costly Rs70 for 2 Fulka Chapati, 100 for normal alu paratha. Taste of food is average Too far from main city and conceyance is the problem Hotel is charging to much for pick and drop Indoor games and facilities should also be there for entertainment Network issue They gives special attention to foreigners not to desi customers like loading their bags from one place to other,helping them in other things, menu and food taste is also as per foreigners. No room service

V booked a room there & went to the property but found that although they call it heritage Cottages the rooms are just old cabins with double beds, there s nothing so called heritage it is just a Plantation near a forest. it s a total Rip-off , Road to the property s horrible absolutely its total Waste of time & Money, v left the same day itself & found the room half the price in Kodai town . Not recommended at all.

Stay was perfect and pretty happy with my stay, location is very good...Fantastic food fresh from their organic farm. Stay was comfortable with modern facilities...Huge property to take long walks...A wonderful hospitality from all staff...Overall key attractions of this property are location, quality of rooms, service of staffs, food and abundance of green trees and organic farm as well as the waterfall.
