The walkthrough

Eighty seconds inside the house

Shot on location: the approach through the pines, both floors, the glass wall from the inside, and the deck at the edge of the valley.

The idea

Some houses sit in a landscape.This one is folded into it,and the clouds arrive first.

SkyGrove is a three-bedroom A-frame at 2,133 metres, built where the pine line meets the valley. Floor-to-ceiling glass on every side, a chef who cooks in the house, and a deck that looks straight down into the mist.

Arrival

A silhouette against the hills

Slate-grey shingles and a wall of black glass, folded into a hillside of terraced green. SkyGrove is the house people slow down to look at.

The Glass House

Nature, floor to ceiling

The living room seats ten under the full height of the A-frame, with panoramic glass that pulls the valley indoors. Mist rolls past while you are still on your first coffee.

Amazing experience at Sky Grove. Situated in a quiet area with magnificent views of Kodaikanal city. ~30 mins drive to Kodai Lake (Heart of Kodaikanal). The service of the person in charge is excellent. He cooks as well for lunch, dinner and breakfast. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. Bonfire and barbecue option available.

We celebrated our daughter's first birthday here in SkyGrove — that was the best decision we made. The views from the balcony were beautiful and a picture-perfect backdrop for our celebration. The host is super responsive and helpful. The food here is amazing and the caretaker took care of our needs very well.

Visited Kodai for the first time and got lucky to stay in this extremely cozy and beautiful property. Though the location is bit far from the main city but the stay is worth it. […] The most beautiful part of the stay is its night view with the city light from the terrace. One can spend the entire night staying up looking at the mesmerising view and a sky full of stars (if the weather is clear).

When we reached the property, it was exactly as it was in the pictures and it was squeaky clean. Chanakya has an excellent in-house chef, Solomon, who prepared us lip-smacking home-cooked food. He even arranged the bonfire and barbeque. My friends and I were completely satisfied with the ambiance, location, facilities and services.

We stayed at Sky Groove, Kodaikanal as a group of 6 friends, and it was an amazing experience. The property is really well maintained, beautiful, and perfect for a group stay. The food was tasty and freshly prepared, and having a 24/7 helper available at the property made things extremely comfortable. A special mention to the host Chan, who was very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed.

The property is situated amid a peaceful farm. This place offers a tranquil atmosphere and is also not very far from the city. The host was checking up often to ensure we are comfortable. The food prepared by the caretakers was the best homely and indulgent food. The rooms and central main area are spacious.

Great property with a breathtaking view. The owner Chan was very cordial and accommodating, and the caretakers at the property also helped take care of everything that we needed. The in-house breakfast was very homely and flavorful. Recommend trying out the bonfire.

Our stay at Sky Grove Homestay in Kodaikanal was truly unforgettable! We were a big group of 10, and the place accommodated all of us comfortably without any hassle. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with stunning views that made the experience even more special. The campfire and barbeque arrangements were absolutely amazing and brought everyone together for a fun, memorable evening.
