Great stay! Friendly and welcoming staff , very very helpful, lovely location away from busyness of Kovalam. Only 300-400 IR in Rickshaw to Kovalam Beach. We had two nights before flying out of India great place to unwind , very clean pool. Highlight was the final.night of Pongal Festival..lights for 2km along the narrow road at front of homestay. music, food stalls closer to temple at end of road ..dancing..finished off with parade at midnight with elephant walking past us.. we had no idea this was taking place so such a fantastic experience. Happens every year mid Jan..definitely worth coming to experience this! Recommend this homestay. Breakfast was fine and also had fruit platter, had one dinner and that was fine and very reasonable

The manager is so nice and helpful, really went out of his way to be welcoming! The location is great- seconds from the beach. They hadn’t been open long when I stayed - the mural in my room was beautiful, and the artist was here painting other rooms, so I think it will look gorgeous when it’s all finished.

We had a lovely stay. The room was spacious with enough place for our bags and the food was delicious, made by a cook who is very passionate and great at his job! In the back they have a wonderful sitting area where the food is served and you can play games or drink something. It was very cosy. There is also a really cute dog who like to be petted, but no worries.. If you don't like dogs, the owners tell her to leave and she does so. The host and staff are super friendly and helped us with everything. We hope to come back and enjoy this great stay again!

Clean, comfortable room with a balcony and gorgeous sea views. Clean bathroom with plenty of hot water 24 hours. Welcoming reception area. Free, good wifi. Excellent location, just a 5-minute walk to the promenade and beach, and 2-3 minutes walk to the lighthouse. Or a 5-minute walk down to a quiet, secluded beach - that few people seem to find. Wonderful sea view from my balcony, furnished with a comfy chair and a small table. There isn't a restaurant on site, but Daniel arranged a great value breakfast and dinner for me. And tea/coffee was available. The staff were available 24 hours, and they couldn't be more helpful. Excellent value.
