We found Dunnattor Bungalow entirely by chance in October 2020 for our stay for New year’s in December. It was already reserved at the time but somehow due to some stroke of luck we managed to secure a reservation. We were in communication with the owner regarding the nitty-gritties on a daily basis. Mr. Biswajit was warm, super helpful and made our stay there that much more comfortable.
Dunnattor Bungalow has an old world charm that is difficult to replicate. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms modern and the living area cozy. A special mention must be made for the caretaker, Mr. Jayraj, who went above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay as perfect as possible. The staff there were very helpful when we organised a birthday party for one of the guests and worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great time and things went off smoothly.
The menu at Dunnattor is scrumptious but nothing beats the amazing snacks. Their chilli cheese toast tastes like stuff dreams are made of and even now on a rainy day I think of it.
The location of Dunnattor Bungalow is another notable mention. It is located at the hub of Kodaikanal, right by the lake. The children enjoyed many horse and boat rides there without having to venture out too far.
Our overall experience was of a home away from home but with everything taken care of by the best.
