Set in Kodaikānāl, 2.4 km from Chettiar Park, Rave Raja CoWorking Hostels offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. The property is situated 2.6 km from Bear Shola Falls, 2.6 km from Kodaikanal Lake and 2.8 km from Kodaikanal Bus Stand. Some units at the property feature a terrace with a mountain view. Me and my partner booked a private stay and loved our time. The place is very beautiful with an amazing view of the valley. It's also in close proximity ( approx 2 km walking) of the Kodai town, making it an ideal place if you love to Walk and enjoy the quiet (we ended up doing a lot of walking, as we like it!!) The hosts are amazing, they are very approachable and cool people to hang around with. The food is yummy as well:) Highly recommended if you are looking for even a private stay with a bit of socializing (you can choose not to as well ☺️). I was also working the whole time I was there, they have a very good and stable Internet connection, making it a good option for digital nomads.
