Onondaga Kodaikanal

Heritage bungalow from 1910 with panoramic valley views in Kodaikanal

History & Architecture

Onondaga Kodaikanal occupies a British-era bungalow built in 1910, set at 2000 meters above sea level. The property retains its original vintage furniture and architectural details, offering guests a direct connection to the hill station's colonial past. Limited to six rooms in the main building, this heritage stay provides an exclusive environment far from large resort crowds.

Rooms & Amenities

Each of the heritage rooms includes hypoallergenic bedding, a private bathroom, and a seating area with a TV. Guests have access to a mini library and a TV room inside the property, while free WiFi is available in public areas. The hotel provides complimentary bicycle rental and guided bike tours for exploring the surrounding landscape.

Dining

A freshly prepared homemade vegetarian breakfast is served daily, using recipes passed down through the property's management. All meals are cooked to order and require a three-hour advance notice, as there is no open kitchen. Guests can also enjoy a campfire with barbecue setups in the garden, subject to prior arrangement.
