Kodaikanal, Tamil NaduAbout the Home
- How about you ditch your daily morning ritual of sitting in your living room, sipping coffee and head to a coffee estate near Kodaikanal instead? If this sounds like an idea, SaffronStays Nandanvan Estate is where you should be.
- Engulfed in a 35-acre organic coffee plantation, take an assisted tour of the estate where coffee is not just grown using rainwater harvesting but also roasted.

- Birdwatchers, keep your binoculars handy and be ready to spot around 30-40 species of birds. You may even spot a herd of elephants, bison or mouse deer as you trek through the woods.
- Meant for the thinking souls who love to sit back and enjoy reading a novel while enjoying their cuppa, this 3-bedroom vacation home is draped with climbers and surrounded by flowering plants. Right choice when all you want to do is nothing...
- Relax in the gazebo with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and admire the striking views of the lush green mountains with fog as the icing on the cake. Our friends had a tough time trying to move us from here.

Food quality should be improved for such high money collected. Very less menu and some dishes the can’t cook well.
Place needs renovation. It’s a lot run down than what’s in the pictures. Moreover, Goibibo were promoting this particular villa with video of a pool when there is no pool in this villa. Make sure you check on that too.
Quiet ambiance and very natural
It is excellent stay,
Loved the stay. Roxy and April( the canines at Nandanvan) will always have a piece of my heart. Situated within the hills on a 40 acre land, it’s an experience in itself and provides privacy for a family and have experiences - the trek, picnic by the stream, forest walk. John, the manager, selvi - the cook, everyone is kind and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable.
No security during night 2) when power went off during night, there was no UPS backup- alarming 3) Menu card can be given which will minimise the work of both the guests and house keeping people 4) subsidy for Driver's meals
We went on new year's Eve so we found it to be too pricey and we had to shell out more. But otherwise on a normal day this place is bang on every penny spent. Property has a beautiful trail and scenic views all around. Only downside being it is 15 km away from kodai and in seclusion so in case of any need and if sightseeing is planned it takes toll on your short vacation But the beauty of the property does nearly compensate for all of it. Just come and enjoy the laidback life
Excellent service and food. Mr. John was very pleasant and kind and hosted us very well. Place was very clean. Food was delicious. We had the best time and trip ever.
It's an amazing place to stay in Kodaikanal. Welcoming staff, beautiful property with serene view, delicious food
Had a wonderful experience at the estate. The caretaker (John) & team were very friendly & helpful. Would recommend the property.
Had an amazing experience. Great hospitality
Amazing property!
Instantly loved the Nandanvan estate when I walked in the property was quaint and beautiful.My family and I enjoyed the simple and minimalist decor.A few things I think could be improved on however include: 1.Vegetarian Barbeque We asked the cooks at the property to prepare this one day and the food was fully raw. 2.Service The caretaker at the property repeatedly provided us with sweet lime juice despite us asking for orange juice. The food was overall quite good besides the above mentioned points.The Nandan coffee served at the property was delicious as well.A true delight was the two dogs at the property roaming about.
We had a wonderful stay at Nandavanan estate. John caretaker was extremely helpful and available at all times. The food was extremely well done hygeinic and tasty. The cook and housekeeping staff were willing to do whatever we requested. The location is beautiful, serene and calm. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Kodaikanal.
Amazing stay, breathtaking view, special care by the staff, beautiful place.
Food was good but it’s very costly

We had the most relaxing and rejuvenating holiday at Nandanvan Estate. The scenic and beautiful nature, the aesthetic villa with its comfortable clean living areas, the delicious local food prepared by the cooks and John ( caretaker) fulfilling our every need and request made our stay most memorable. Ideal getaway from the COVID stress and isolate yourself in the wonderful cozy nest of natural surroundings.
