An exclusive and tranquil Homestay with Bed & Breakfast accommodation a short distance off the ghat road, well before the hustle and bustle of Kodaikanal yet very close to it. Serenità Homestay is peacefully perched on a serene and secluded hillside offering an exhilarating view. We offer only a single accommodation suitable for a Couple or a Nuclear family at this point in time which means total privacy. The Accommodation comes with an attached bath and a small kitchenette and is furnished to make it comfy and cosy (If your partner finds the room too cosy and wishes to lounge around while you want to be up and about, we will help you drag him/her out of bed for a nominal fee). It has an independent entry from our driveway, a small covered patio and a private lawn with outdoor seating. We designed the accommodation to make it reasonably self sufficient and offer privacy while enjoying the benefits of the main house and its surroundings. The Kitchenette is fairly equipped to give you that little freedom you very much need while on a holiday. On prior notice, Dinner can be arranged on all days while Lunch can be arranged only on weekends. Food can also be bought in from restaurants in town based on preferences and availability, while you stay back to indulge further. Come and stay with us and experience a unique feeling of Serenity!
