Yes it was indeed a pleasant surprise staying at Vilvam. We availed three rooms at Vilvam for a day during the annual festival of Our Lady of La Salette in August. It is a Home away from Home. We had a peaceful and comfortable Home stay. The staff were very courteous and their service was good. Food was being prepared on orders as per our wish and served hot. We had all our meals there itself and our children enjoyed it. The rooms were small but the bed was so smooth and good, seems to be expensive. The interiors were well planned. The Home stay is little far away from the main town, but few attractions like upper lake view are walk-able.
We visited Vilvam over a weekend of May. It is located few kms (max 5kms) away from most attractions in Kodai. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the hot shower lovely in the chilly morning. Excellent Hospitality. The food is prepared on your request as its charged separately on actual basis.
Been to vilvam first time since am familiar to kodaikanal I really want to give a feedback for the hospitality provided and customer friendly friendly attitude.. Good environment for couples and family which holds an affordable cost with homely food.. I strongly recommend this resort to those who need a peaceful stay.. Thanks to VILVAM once again and i will repeat to this place
I’ll like to take this opportunity to thank you and staff, on behalf of me and my friends. We had an amazing time at Kodakannal last week and a big share goes to Vilvam, the caretakers, the cooks and especially Babu who provided the best service even at the stroke of midnight. Everything at Vilvam (the well maintained rooms, the open terrace, the complimentary breakfast and the dinner) just left us carving for more; we promise to stay again at Vilvam if ever we visit kodaikannal and also recommend the same to our friends.
When offering a homestay, we believe in providing every possible convenience to our guests. However we would also like to specify, what is available and what is not, at our property.
Vilvam is neither a resort nor a hotel; it is a small Guest-House/Home-Stay/Home-stead amidst a residential area, about 5km away from the Kodai Town. It is one of the Tamilnadu state tourism department approved Bed and Breakfast facility.
Kindly carry an ID Card to provide at the time of check in. Please carry a copy of VALID-VISA and PASSPORT (only for foreign nationals) of each guest, since we need to maintain the same under the Registration of Foreigners Rules, 1992.
Our menu is not a-la-carte. It is traditional homely food, usually set between the Guest and the caretaker depending upon the culinary skill of the cook, on to which your suggestions are also welcome. We do not stock in vegetables/meat/poultries in the freezers and so it is better to mention in advance, your meal preference, so that the caretaker can buy everything fresh, from the Kodai market.
If you face any kind of discomfort during your stay, you are requested to inform the caretaker/owner. We appreciate negative/positive feedback in the Guest register provided at Vilvam, so that we can try to correct/follow them in future.
Experience an enjoyable holiday with us!
