A beautiful property in a quiet location by the river! The property is 100’s of years old but very well maintained and comfortable. It’s a separate house to the owners so you have plenty of your own space. The owners are both extremely kind, they offered us tea and dinner and organised a car for us the next morning to the ferry terminal. Would really recommend staying here :)

Ajith and his family were so friendly and welcoming and provided lots of information on local things to see and explore including helping us arrange onward travel. The house is right next to then river and the canoeing and kayaking was one of the highlights of our trip. The home cooked food was great, the gardens were beautiful and the kids enjoyed the pool to cool off on a hot day. The rooms were comfortable and clean and it was a very relaxing few days. A really special stay!

This is such a beautiful and unique place to stay! Wake up to see the sun rising over the backwaters. The owner and staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. I came with 6 of my Yoga students as part of a tour of Kerala and everyone loved it here. They also cooked dinner and breakfast for us which was so delicious! You could taste the love in the food. The owner Shanavas helped me book a houseboat months in advance which turned out great! I highly recommend this quiet and tranquil place!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The location and hospitality are tied for first place in my heart. They brought me fresh chai upon arrival, offered to let me borrow a bicycle to cycle around the canals, helped me to book a boat ride at sunrise, and provided me with the perfect place to unwind and relax. The AC is a wonderful bonus! I’ll be back. Thank you for the best time on the backwaters!
