Sterling Kodai Lake

Sterling Kodai Lake

10/10 Excellent
"Very good property located ideally close to the lake but on the quieter side giving the best of both the worlds. Rooms are very cosy, near, clean and satisfactory amenities. Good restaurant with nice and good spread of food. Staff is very cooperative and helpful. I would suggest staying at this property than staying close to main lake area which is quite crowded and noisy. This property has great location. Excellent landscaping with lots of varieties of plants/ flowers make this a great place to unwind and relax"
