Nice big room and delicious food at a reasonable price. A woman I met at a hotel in Delhi gave me a card for the place with a big recommendation. No regrets. It's quiet and picturesque on the lagoon and pleasant respite from the hustle and bustle of India.

We spent our two last nights in Kerala in this backwater farm house and it was a perfect place to end our trip. The price of 2000 Rupees per night includes delicous Keralan food, staying in huge and clean rooms and a trip with a canoe to the backwaters. It is a great place to sit on the terrace read,... More

We stayed for two nights in a bungalow and then had one night on a punted houseboat. The location was idyllic, with a view of the backwater from our sit out. Full board was included, a huge array of dishes, different at every meal and very tasty. We went for a couple of walks around the local houses and were... More

Had two nights here, one ashore and one aboard a boat. Beautifully peaceful as there are no motorised boats here at all, even the locals use paddles or poles for their canoes. The chalets are large and clean, and simply though sufficiently furnished, with large verandahs where you can sit and relax. The boats are quite basic, but comfortable. Food... More

We stayed one night on a boat and a second night on land. The boats (they have two) are big and surprisingly comfortable. At about 11:30 am we were punted away from the farmhouse for about a mile for lunch and then back again where we were moored about 30 yards from where we had started for the rest of... More

We got off at a nearby railway station (Thuravoor) and took a 10 minute auto rickshaw ride through a village (with considerable litter present) to the river's edge. There were several chalets on the river's edge with nice, roofed verandas. The property itself was very clean. Accommodation was basic, comfortable and in the case of the bathroom, open roofed (we...

This is a lovely place with amazing views, and excellent staff. The food was simple, but tasty, and good value. It's incredibly quiet - no motorized boats at all in the area, and seemingly only one other place for tourists (so far!). It's far enough from Alleppey to feel really secluded and it's the perfect place to chill out and... More

I found this place because in Kochi I booked an eco-friendly backwater houseboat stay, and this is the place where they go from. We had an extra day up our sleeves, so decided to spend in relaxing here. So glad we did. The cottages are clean and comfortable. With three meals per day included in the price of the room,... More

The Farm House is located at a stunning part of the backwaters, far away from any hustle and bustle. They offer 4 Bungalows (one of them is separated – the VIP-room). They are huge, clean, have AC and you sit just in front of it, under a roof, relax and look over the Backwaters. While sitting there, three times a... More
