“This property positions itself as a family-friendly destination; I think it succeeds, particularly with its wide array of in-house activities and sprawling grounds. The central location allows for easy exploration of Kodaikanal's attractions like Silver Cascade Falls and Coaker's Walk, but the colonial architecture and wellness offerings create a distinct identity. The option for outdoor barbecues and South Indian feasts add to its appeal.”
