very good staff. Rahul looks after the booking part and he is very helpful bloke. Brilliant person he is. I was ill during my trip, he came to rescue me from 10kms at midnight 2 AM, admitted me at hospital and stayed with me without caring about his sleep. I really wondered to see a guy like him so responsible towards his tourists. Chief Chandram cooks us tasty food, he is wonderful and humble human being. Place is damn beautiful with fantastic view of Astamudi lake.

    Comfortable, clean and colourful room. The staff are very friendly and helped to organise transport, as well as a tour of Munroe Island - which was a great morning out. Homestay is in a really peaceful location by the lake.

    I had such a lovely time at the homestay! The accommodation itself is of a high standard. The provided food was all incredible ! (Lunch portions are massive) I was able to do a sunrise boat trip, was shown around the island and also did kayaking on Munroe Island. As other reviews mention it is literally an island that is only reachable by boat so just be mindful of any amenities you may need to buy beforehand. You can always ask to be taken to Munroe Island otherwise. The host is very hospitable and honestly it was so nice to have downtime.

    It's an island home stay, if you are looking for a place away from the city rush then this is the place for you. The host is helpful & friendly. He treats you like family & takes care of everything, you will be transported in a boat from the nearest Railway Station or road. Early morning boat ride & sunset on shore are the highlights of this place.

    Everything about it. Staff/Cook were all very accomodating, polite and sweet. We were well informed about which route to take. The premises and the stay was perfect blend of resort and home stay. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The Canoe boating from right outside the gate of the resort was a truly amazing experience. Would recommend this resort for any type of group or solo for any number of days! The food we had for dinner and breakfast were delicious 😍
