Vacation rentals in Mangalam

Dharapuram is a small town and we chose to break our journey from Mysord to Kodaikanal and stay here for a night. For a small town, Shanthagomathi's place is great value for money. A simple neat and clean accommodation with all basic necessities needed for a short stay. But the best part is the host. For a host who is new to Air Bnb, she's a superb host. An enthusiastic and energetic young lady, who's very responsive, proactive and never say no type. She readily accompanied and took us to 2 very old temples in the town. While not a 5 star facility, Shanthagomathi's place is more than one can ask for in this small town, every bit value for money. We wish her all the best.

The villa is located in a quaint village of Aravenu. It has beautiful surroundings. The host Subhash has planned this villa excellently to make guests comfortable and enjoy the stay. It is about 5 km from town of Kotagiri on a scenic route. The villa is in gated community with 24/7 security, so safety is not a concern. The big lawn and a gazebo provides ample space to enjoy outdoor activities in lush green surrounding. We will definitely love to return to this place for a longer stay.

It was a wonderful stay for 2 of us couples with kids. Hosts have ensured that our stay was comfortable and helped us in settling down. Felt like Home away from Home. Just sit in the gallery and enjoy the scenic beauty and beautifully maintained garden. Highly recommended to all and especially for Staff college arrival and departure types due to proximity to everything what we need. Thanks a lot for everything to Sir and Ma'am.

It was a nice place, rooms are clean. Especially the caretakers are really nice and gentle. Zubair responds very well during the stay. Expected few more kitchenware.

We had a fantastic stay at this farmstay with our cat and dog. The property is scenic and spacious, with a beautifully maintained garden and lush greenery. We especially loved spending time on the verandah with the BBQ, soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The on-site dogs were incredibly friendly and got along well with our pets. A personal highlight for me was the giant windmill right next door—it added a unique charm to the place, especially when paired with the breathtaking, star-filled night sky as seen from the terrace above. Inside, the stay was just as comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked. One thing to note: the TV isn't a smart TV, so if you plan on streaming Netflix or similar, it's worth bringing a laptop with an HDMI cable. Overall, a perfect escape for nature lovers, pet owners, and anyone looking for a relaxing retreat!

Staying at Fuschia Fucci in Kotagiri was an absolutely rejuvenating experience. Tucked away from the bustle, the place feels like a peaceful sanctuary where time slows down. Although you park a little away and walk down to the cottages, the short walk adds to the charm (though a bit of a hustle for us, juggling luggage and two tiny humans — a toddler and a baby!). The host, Saran, has personally built the cozy cottages and serene sit-outs across the land. Every corner invites you to pause and soak in nature. They also have a separate kitchen building where Indu and her mom cook and serve warm, home-style food. Meals were a delight - not just for the taste, but for the chance to chat with fellow guests and share stories. It’s not just a stay - it’s an experience. Perfect for anyone looking to truly relax and recharge.

Great place for a small family! Amrita communicated well and helped us with early check-in.

Fantastic property located within a quiet neighborhood for someone who needs some peace. The entire place is as spacious and maintained well as shown in the photos. Made us feel right at home!

We visited this place with 4 families, 8 adults and 4 children. The host Selvaraj was very supportive, answering all questions over phone until we reach the property. After reaching the property, caretakers Selvaratnam and Vinit took care of everything. The hospitality of caretakers is worth mentioning. They prepared delicious home made food at a reasonable rate (the rate mentioned in the menu is for 1kg of prepared food, which is sufficient to serve for 5-6 adults). The view from the house is amazing. We were also able to see a lot of wild Bisons from the Balcony. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.
