"Timber Chalet was spacious and super quiet inside.Washrooms were clean with dove handwash,shampoo and conditioner. Bed, sheets and pillows were clean and really comfortable. The breakfast options were largely organic with a super spread ranging from iddiyappam to chicken curry and hot dosas off the counter . Dinner is even better with yummy Biriyani and variety dishes in chicken, mutton or even prawns (with alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages).Vegetarian options in plenty as well. Staff are attentive and immediately available for anything. Frankly no negatives to call out except that the pricing might be slightly on the higher side."

"I stayed in a comfortable and spacious Deluxe Room, with a peaceful and pleasant ambience that was perfect for relaxing both mind and body. The staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were exceptionally friendly, courteous, and attentive, making the experience even more pleasant. I had opted for the AP plan (All meals included – Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner) and the food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was rich in flavour, generously portioned, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully served, making dining a real highlight of the stay. The lavatory was relatively very small, and room cleanliness has to be improved. Other than this, the overall stay was truly excellent. "

"Resort was good with clean rooms, courteous staff as well-found amenities like zip line, rope walking etc. through did not personally explore. Buffet B.Fast had decent spread and tasty. They also provided an option of dinner included in your package. The negative side is, 1. This resort is approx. 15-20km from Kodaikanal city center(lake) and hence you need to add 1hr each side while planning your site-seeing trips which can be tiresome during peak holiday season. 2. This resort is situated in deep valley from Palani-Kodai Road and will feel less cool than Kodaikanal center. Our visit was during X'Mas 2025 hence it was pleasant like in Bangalore. 3. Internal road to the cottages can get challenging due steep inclination like 50-60 degrees and hence advise to be cautious while parking in you allocated cottage. It is advised to first time check the parking allocated by walk and later get the car. They also have property vehicle to transfer people & luggage. Last 2km road to the resort is kutcha. "
