Kerala cottage

Hotel in Varkala

Boasting a garden and views of sea, Kerala cottage is set in Varkala, a few steps from Odayam Beach.

The property is right in the cliffs with beautiful ocean views. Just far enough from the restaurants and shops to be tranquil, but close enough to hop on a tuk-tuk and be there in minutes! Walking distance from the beach (Odayam beach better for swimming than Papansam beach - current very strong here). Friendly staff and GREAT breakfast. Rooms are huge and have beautiful furniture. VERY good value for money. The strip with loads of restaurants and shops were a treat at night. Visit the Janardana Swamy temple - more than 2000 years old! Excellent yoga classes available in the area.

Tiny Temple is a rare gem set back from a quiet section of 'the strip' close to Black Beach. Swati, the host, couldn't be sweeter. He was really helpful and made us feel completely at home. The location and view from the rooftop/deck is unbeatable and the price was totally reasonable (we were there just before 'high' season). New Wifi is being installed which will be the cherry on top! Another perk was the fine folks at Elina's Clifftop Restraunt (next door) who were really accommodating and even offered room/rooftop service. My daughter and I took a risk on a spot without reviews and in this case we're so glad we did. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Due to the long weekend, north cliff and north-side beaches were hopelessly crowded. But the south cliff was really peaceful and soothing to walk around and the beaches were cleaner. Kayaking at the Mangroves is a must, some of the prettiest scenery in the area.

What I liked most was the view from my balcony looking out to the sea. A room without a view would not be so agreeable. The grounds were beautiful with lovely tropical flowers and plants. There is an agreeable open air area for meals and breakfast. The breakfast was cooked to order. One day I had English breakfast and one day banana pancakes. The employees are helpful and agreeable. The pool area is also nice.

Very nice coast, it’s possible to walk for kilometres along the coast. It’s quite turistic but mainly locals so it doesn’t bother too much. It’s possible to get into the sea only in very few places but I wouldn’t recommend it. The town has lots of markets, bakeries and restaurants. There are several yoga studios along the coast.

It is a beautiful place with plenty of beaches, greenery, small town shops, water sports and the most beautiful mangroves. There are also nice places like the Jatayu Park and the Shri Narayana Guru Samadhi and ancient temples that are a treat to visit.

Beautiful views worth seeing.

Beautiful views worth seeing. However most visitors are rowdy which affects the comfort of people seeking a more down to earth experience. Restaurants often out price locals and cater to Western tastes; they seek a specific type of well put together, middle or upper class traveller. Monsoon season is likely a more relaxing time to be here with less rowdy visitors from out of town/state. Little cleanup efforts for the beaches. Bad sanitation and waste control. Waste burning unfortunately normalised.

Lovely atmosphere where you feel immediately at home. Many nice activities to meet new people like dinners together, yoga classes, games. The managers are very welcoming and helpful. The female dorm has AC and it’s very clean. The location is perfect, 5 mins from the main beach and the north cliff where you have plenty of bars and restaurants. I loved my stay here and I can’t wait to come back. I totally recommend it to any backpacker passing by Varkala looking for meaningful connections.

This Homestay is a hidden gem in Varkala. My family and I had a great stay here. The property is very close to the North Cliff area. The rooms are moderately sized, very clean and comfortable. All amenities have been taken care of by the host and her team. Breakfast served was local and delicious. Loved the ambiance and the peace around. Highly recommend and would love to visit again!

I stayed there for a week and it was lovely. The place is really clean, the rooms are nice and the common areas are great. They really care about their guests and it was a good place to stay, close to the cliff but not in the middle of the Varkala tourists chaos. Thank you all so much for everything!!!
