Elis Kitchen ac rooms
All I can say is WOW, what a wonderful gem is Liz’s place! Clean, comfortable, the ocean view terrace, all only a few steps to the Bay of Bengal. But the highlight for me was eating at her cafe, Eli’s Kitchen, every day of my visit. The first day I arrived I had fresh lobster. The next morning, at my request, she made fresh Parotta topped with homemade strawberry jam. Later during my visit I relished a fish fry of fresh caught Pomfret fish, snake gourd, dal, lemon honey crepes with pineapple, homemade ice cream, watermelon juice, egg curry, all prepared with fresh, local ingredients, many from her rooftop terrace garden. The only time I had a meal out was when Liz and I took a rickshaw out to visit Idler’s Organic Farm. That was an amazing and memorable experience. Liz made a detailed map for me of the area and places of interest to visit. I spent a lot of time stationed in front of an ocean view, ocean breezed window reading several books I got off of Liz’s bookshelf.

Airport Pick UP/Sunrise View/Home away Home/F Wifi
The host Nalini was very responsible from the beginning and she answered to every query I had. We were checking in very early morning at the morning and checked out very late at the night, she was kind enough to accomodate our requests. The bnb was well connected with public and private transports. She also suggested us a few places to visit near by . The BNb was good with a stunning scenic balcony overlooking the beach and the stay was very peaceful and a good value for money. Thanks for accommodating us.

Beach House Chennai
The room was very clean and had a beautiful view.

I had a wonderful stay at Nalini’s BnB! The duplex apartment is in a posh and secure society, offering a homely and peaceful experience. The room had a stunning view of the Chennai Lighthouse and Marina Beach, making my mornings truly special. The bathroom was spotless, though basic, but anything needed was just a request away. The furniture was a bit old, but that didn’t affect the comfort of my stay. The location is fantastic—perfect for exploring Chennai—and the hosts were warm, accommodating, and always ready to help. If you’re looking for a comfortable home-like stay in Chennai, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Bhaggyam Pragathi Apartment off OMR, Chennai
We have stayed at this place twice for around 4 to 5 days. Felt like a home away from home. Basic utensils and most of the kitchen items are provided. But need more care on arrangement of those items. Could have couple of study shelfs to store those. Some changes and renovations are done compared to the previous year. A good option to choose if you are around Shollinganellur for more than a couple of days.

Private Villa-3 acre property ECR, Mahabalipuram
I stayed at this place with 5 of my friends, our stay at this place was nothing short of amazing. Set on a vast 3-acre property, this villa is the perfect getaway from the city’s noise. Surrounded by lush greenery and open space. Especially if you are a sports enthusiast, the farmhouse offers plenty of activities like beach volleyball, badminton, basketball, and space for cricket and football, making it ideal for families and groups. The villa itself is charming, with its Mangalore-tiled roof and spacious, open-plan living area with 2 hammocks.The kitchen is perfect for preparing meals while staying connected to the group. The bedroom is cozy with an attached bathroom featuring a bathtub, adding a touch of luxury. The highlight, though, is the terrace. The views are breathtaking, with no buildings in sight, making for a serene, private escape. Whether relaxing or being active, this property has something for everyone, and we left feeling rejuvenated. Highly recommended and a Must Try!”

Private villa paradise 3 Br| ECR
All I have to say is , this air bnb property is simply a great place to relax and spend with your family and friends . Midhun has been a great host , very helpful with his suggestions and replied quickly whenever I contacted him. Clean amenities, and a min walk from a secluded and scenic Nibhav Beach. Though easily connected via Taxi Aggregators , having personal vehicle is recommended.We really enjoyed our stay here and will be back.
