Elephant Valley Eco Farm Hotel

Beautiful views, serene atmosphere, rustic yet luxurious accommodation in the midst of forest\wildlife and a very sweet & helpful staff make this resort a place I will definitely keep returning to. You need to be adventurous and carefree to enjoy what this place offers, being in the midst of the forest it understandbly comes with it's cons like leeches, bugs, presence of threatening wildlife at night, power outages, ect... Not recommended for those that prefer the spoilings of city life and urban luxury resorts.

Beware, this place is recommended by the Lonely planet 2022 edition (which is why we booked it). Staff is friendly and nice. Restaurant has good indian food but food is only available at set times which is also the case for the hot water. The rooms and place overall is nothing like portrayed on the website or in the LP, google photos. Apparently this is a COVID-19 problem. We booked 3 nights and left after one. Place is poorly maintained, there are leeches in the bathroom and our hut was leaking during a rainstorm. the outside garden listed on the website is non existent. For 70€ per night it is not at all worth it.

It's a beautiful property in an 100acre farm. Beautiful done with all the amenities. It's almost 8 kms away from the nearest town which is why commuting is a little problem. But others if you are looking for a quite, wild and beautiful place then go for it :)

My stay at Elephant Valley in Kodaikanal was an unforgettable experience! This eco-friendly resort is nestled in a tranquil valley, surrounded by lush green forests and majestic hills. The rooms are tastefully designed, blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The staff is warm and attentive, making sure your every need is met. The food is delicious, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients and traditional recipes. Elephant Valley is a true gem in the heart of Kodaikanal. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat from the chaos of city life, look no further. I can't wait to return!

My experience at Elephant Valley was nothing short of magical. From the property to views to food, everything was really good. I was meeting two school best-friends for an annual reunion. We had a very sweet time. The cottage assigned was gorgeous- it was clean, the beds were comfortable and the views were beautiful. We only ended up eating dal, rice and chapati- because the most basic meals tasted divine. The coffee was delicious too! There's a lot of area to explore- to walk around in the property and outside too. The entire staff is very kind and helpful. Mr. Mani was very accommodating to our requests and needs. To have a good time here, all you need to do is respect the nature and the resort's rules and they will make sure to make your experience worthwhile. I genuinely cannot wait to go back again!

We booked three rooms and we wanted it close by to each other , inspite of availability they gave one room which was far from the main rooms and the pathway to the room was without lights , now here comes the main experience once we entered the first floor of the room and we felt too much negative vibes as if someone else was around with us we ran back to the reception asking them to give us a room which is close by to the main property they said it’s not available when it’s very clear that the rooms are available and they suggested us to take the ground floor room and promised to be a call away , after much hesitation we enter the ground floor room and be in the room for 20 mins we experience all kind of negative vibrations in the room and we literally had to run felt the place is haunted , and we slept in the car for 2 hours still the ppl at the resort didn’t give us room in the front side close to other rooms after much requesting they give us room at midnight 2am till then they played around with us , when the rooms are available we don’t know why they didn’t give us rooms together for a group but the place is definately haunted . Book at your own risk guys this is my second review first review was taken away . I stayed here 2 years back .

I stayed here between 15th Jan- 17th Jan. This place is good for people who like to stay in calm place with nature. All cottages are very close to the river, you can hear the stream sound throughout your stay, as it name says this place is an elephant valley due to this you have some restrictions in timings to roam in night. There are lot of birds around this place, Peacocks was found every where in this place. You can spend some time in the resorts coffee plantation farm where you will enjoy the hanging bridge and the river stream. Trekking with local guide to Anchu veedu falls is most recommended for families ( please do obey the guide instructions as this falls is very dangerous). This resort is situated in a place called Ganeshpuram on the way to Palani from Perumal temple. The resort manager Mani was very friendly and all staff are very helpful. The Palani hill view restaurant served decent food, we did not try experimenting all foods, we had south Indian food and biriyani was very good.
