Beyond amazing in every way - I have travelled the world and stayed at many many places - never have I experienced soooo much help - kindness - generosity - I had an emergency dental issue and the owner not only arranged an appointment on my day of arrival but personally drove me the three times I had to go. Plus to ATM and to a festival on my first night. The breakfast each morning is so generous and different each day morning and served on the upstairs deck with sea views and a lovely breeze. Even a small thing when a button came off and I asked for a sewing kit he took to his wife to do for me. I also used his recommendation for a driver from the airport as o arrived late at night and would again recommend this service / it might cost a little bit more but worth it. I used the same driver to take me to Munroe Island. The room was spacious - comfortable and modern quiet a/c and a fan, plus a kettle. The bathroom had all that was needed with hot water. There is also a kitchen downstairs with large fridge and microwave. The beach is a five minute walk away. I will never forget the hospitality and kindness making my first trip ever to India incredible. Thank you 🙏

Impeccably clean and bright room, great location near everything in Varkala, quiet and peaceful (no honking nearby) and kind staff! Highlight was the helpfulness of the staff: the owner personally took me to the train station the day I left to help me with the tickets. One of my favorite accommodations of India so far!

Beautiful homestay with a room in a hotel standard. Ended up staying for 3 nights.The place was sparkling clean, lovely garden for our one year old daughter to play at. If you stay downstairs you can even leave via your private balcony gate, so there's also lots of privacy. Greca and Suja were extra attentive, helped us book a train ticket, cooked amazing and interesting local breakfasts and entertained our baby girl. Great place!

    All the prime locations are within walking distance. And if you need anything... say a contact for an ayurvedic massage, or scooty rentals or anything, then Kim (the host) is your man. He is very energetic, always around to help. We used to go surfing in the morning and after coming back, having their homemade breakfast used to be heavenly. Their homestay is so well kept and beautiful. The househelps are so kind and always catered to whatever we needed. So if you are in Varkala, this is the place to stay.

    This homestay was the best we've stayed in on this trip and others to India. The rooms and house are pristine with great facilities and in a very quiet location but within easy reach of Cliff Beach. We were extended a warm welcome great service and a tasty South Indian freshly prepared breakfast. The owner booked a tuk tuk to take us to a local store and a taxi for our onward journey. We would definitely stay here again.
