Amazing experience and amazing food ! Mr. Cheriyan owner of the property hosted us so we'll with great home food and amazing bonding. It was a great experience and amazing property we'll maintained and great location .

Nestled in one of the highest points of Kodaikanal, Ellesmera offers a perfect location, as you get the best of both worlds, proximity to the city and the picturesque beauty of Kodai hills. Our days were spent lolling about in Ellesmera's stunning garden, lush and colorful with its plethora of flowering plants that calls a wide variety of birds, drinking a million teas that our hosts gladly kept offering and revelling in the silence that's only broken by the birds. Rooms are big, spotless with cosy beds and beautiful sitouts that enhance the experience. When night fell, we found ourselves lulled into sleep (despite the books from their enormous well curated library) due to the ambient crackling sounds of the cosy fireplace. Breakfasts and dinners served were also extremely tasty, soothing and hygienic and saved us the hassle of ordering them (which is also possible since it's situated just a few kilometres from the city) Mr. Babu and his wife Ms. Rita were for us the highlight of our trip. We were treated to Mr. Babu's enthralling life stories and Ms. Rita's knowledge on Kodaikanal's history and ecology. We realised how extremely well read and how invested both our hosts were to ensure the safety of Kodaikanal's environment and it's flora and fauna. We can see how lovingly they care for their home, their garden and their guests both feathered and human. We came back, a lot more knowledgeable and with many fond memories of Ms Rita and Mr. Babu.
