Manimalar Cottage | Rooms & Tours

Exceptional hospitality from the host. Neat and hygienic room and toilet. The food was cheap but there was no compromise in the taste, quality or service. We had breakfast and dinner from here. The kitchen is also very clean and hygienic. I drove to kodaikanal with my nexon ev. The owner let me charge my car at the property, i paid him for the charging. There is no dedicated power point for charging, i just used extension from my room. Unlike many places in kodaikanal, he don't charge for hot water. There is also a generator, so, hot water is available 24x7. If you pay twice in another place, you may get a slightly bigger room, that's all. But you are not going to kodaikanal to spend time in the room, all you need is a good place to sleep and freshen up. If you go in group, there is place for a small camp fire. The place is not too close or not too far from the main road, so we had a peaceful sleep.

Excellent place to stay. The host, manimalar is very hospitable & polite. He picked me up from the bus stand. The food is also very good. The view is also quite good. The rooms are very clean, hygienic & well maintained. But the best part is the host's hospitality. He picked my call every time & was ready to arrange anything i requested. But access to terrace is a little difficult. But manimalar arranged a ladder for me, as i wanted to star gaze.

Best budget cottage for kodaikanal, service very superb, safest place 90/100

The cottage was well maintained and the staff was really friendly. The room was clean and we faced no issues. Food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend anyone to stay there if they're on a budget.

This was my solo trip to kodaikanal, and these people helped me with everything. I wanted to explore the hills on my own, and for that, they arranged me a two wheeler. I'm grateful that i got them as my hosts; they even dropped me to the bus stand and on the right bus. I was able to catch my train on time. Also, their food tastes delicious.
