The setting is very peaceful overlooking the lake. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. They arranged our boating trip on Monroe Island as well as organising a takeaway meal for us in the evening. They also organised the tuk tuk to drive us to our next destination. It was one of the best stays we’ve had in India

I don’t even know where to begin. I loved every single part of my stay here. The couple living here made me feel like I was a part of their family. The wife cooked me all my meals which were not only cheap but also so delicious. They made sure I was okay and I felt safe all the time. Besides they helped me with my further travels so I was prepared for the next step. I had a lot of conversations with the wife, and even tough her English is not the best, it was a joy. There is really not much to do on Monroe Island, but the husband of the family helped me with a bike and a kayak. My deepest thanks to the both of you!

Vijash and his family run this Fabulous homestay on Munroe island. We had a lovely big a/c room with private bathroom. There is a communal area where meals are served and/or just to chill with hammocks and comfy chairs. We went on the early evening sunset canoe trip - amazing just floating down the canals. Also got up at 5:00am for the sunrise canoe trip, spectacular. The food, wow... Absolutely delicious take on South Indian cuisine I can safely say that these was the best meals I've had in Kerala. Highly recommend this homestay.

Owner Sajeev and caretaker Vijayan looked after us really well during our stay. The location is fantastic - it's outside Varkala which is great if you are looking for somewhere away from the tourist crowds but bear the beach. There was a quiet beach nearby which we had almost to ourselves at times. Swimming in the sea as the sun went down was one of the highlights of our trip to India. The room was a good size with air con and a fan. Breakfast was served outside on the terrace. There is also a washing machine for guests which was really helpful for us as we are backpacking. We were lucky enough to have visited during a Hindu festival and saw plenty of free entertainment at the temple next door. Varkala is only a short tuktuk ride away and has all sorts of different restaurants and shops. Thanks for a memorable stay!

We loved our stay here. It is a true home stay in a beautiful locations, seconds away from a picture perfect river where you can admire the tranquility of the place. The host Suresh Babu is a very kind and welcoming man. He is very proud of his heritage and cannot do enough to make you feel at home. He will ensure your stay is comfortable and will cater for all your needs. His wife cooks the most amazing tasty meals, so make sure you eat at the home stay. It is fantastic value for money and would give this stay 100 if we could. I wish we could have stayed longer to take in more this tranquil location and enjoy heartfelt hospitality of the local folks. Suresh organised a memorable canoeing trip for us and helped with transport bookings. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you Suresh for being such a wonderful host.

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.
