Holiday rentals with a kayak in Kerala

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Rivertree Farms , and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the host, who ensured we felt right at home. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with clean and cozy rooms that provided the perfect blend of comfort and charm. The ambiance was peaceful, making it an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The attention to detail in every corner, from fresh linens to thoughtful decor, added a special touch. The outdoor space was equally inviting, with lush greenery and a relaxing seating area perfect for morning coffee or evening chats. One of the highlights was the delicious homemade food, prepared with fresh, local ingredients — truly a delight. The host was incredibly helpful, offering great recommendations for nearby attractions and ensuring our stay was hassle-free. Overall it was a great experience and we would like to revisit it again.

I had an incredible stay at Thakur Cottage! The property offers a mesmerizing view that is truly a treat for the eyes, making every moment special. Whether it's sunrise or sunset, the scenery is absolutely stunning(specifically sunrise) One of the highlights of our stay was the amazing cooks at the cottage. They not only prepared delicious meals but were also incredibly helpful and accommodating. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with great food and unbeatable views, Thakur Cottage is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Fabin has a lovely "home away from home". It's a beautiful property with a rich history. The host is super friendly and is available anytime of the day to help out. This house, located at the bank of Kerala's backwaters, is a rare find and it really added to the great experience we had at Kochi. Thanks Fabin for hosting us, we had a lovely time 😁

We had a great stay at the place. Karma and Asha were the house staff and took absolutely great care of our group. They provided us delicious home cooked Kerala style meals every day. The property is beautiful and we will surely recommend this to our friends.

Very remote and un touristic a magical place. The beach house is sandwiched between a seemingly endless golden sand beach 35kms long and the calm of the backwater. Bicycles rides and boat trips recommended. Doc’s sense of intrinsic beauty and craftsmanship is evident in the 4 homes on the island that he has restored with an artists eye for detail. He was very welcoming and helpful with planning and organisation. We also had great conversations. Theyyam rituals are a must. We were lucky to see the dancing with fire. Otherwise my favorite things were evening Kayaking at sunset to the mangroves and early morning swimming & bird watching in the back water. It’s worth also checking the peacock house on the backwater side, it sleeps 4. Thank you, Doc, for creating spaces that are so sensitive to their environment and sharing your little paradise and curry plant 🌱 with us.!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming heritage property hosted by the warm and welcoming Sahil and Sobha. Their hospitality was exceptional, and the highlight was undoubtedly the delicious home-cooked meals they prepared with love. The hosts, both talented artists, have beautifully infused their creative essence into the house, making it a true reflection of their personalities. Situated next to serene backwaters, the property offers breathtaking views of the sunrise in the morning—a perfect start to the day. Adding to the charm is a swimming pool on the premises, surrounded by lush greenery, coconut trees, vibrant plants, and a picturesque fountain. The heritage elements in the décor were captivating, making the stay an unforgettable blend of tradition, art, and nature. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility and authentic experiences.

Good host and helpful. Houseboat was also clean. Only suggestion for Jason would be that he should place a card sort of things with activities , rides and dining timings with menu put up somewhere on houseboat for information of guests. Only this was missing rest everything was well arranged. Enjoyed my stay in the Jaosn’s boat. One should book it for a great experience. Lovely.❤️

My stay at the Riverbanks farm was absolutely incredible! The location is perfect - right by the cauvery river, with serene views and the soothing sounds of nature. I loved waking up to the fresh air and enjoying my morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the water. The host Samynathan was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. He even shared some local tips and recommendations that made my trip special. The fishing instructor Amjad came over and taught my kids to fish in the river. The house has all amenities for a comfortable farm stay. The kitchen is loaded with cooker, toaster, utensils, knives, basic provision like rice, oil, spices etc. The extra mattresses are useful for additional guests. 4 people can comfortably stay here. Our favourite places: By the river in the morning, by the bonfire in the evening. This was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and I can’t wait to come back again.

Infanta is a great host, and very helpful with recommendations and even making the arrangements if needed. She is also very promptly responsive and effective in her communications! Her place is very spacious and clean with riverfront views that can’t be beat. A very quiet and relaxing place in an area with a small town-like ambience. The delivery and transport services have no trouble serving the house. It is about 45 minutes or so from Fort Kochi attractions. Overall, a highly recommended place to stay for visitors to the area.
