Cottage holiday rentals in South India

We had a wonderful time at this place. The host was always available on calls and instructed everything really well. Humble, soft spoken, Such a great person the host is. Most important part is the Jacuzzi is available anytime and you get privacy at your place. The Nearest Beach from the stay is Kihim Beach. Also the food here was good, although a bit expensive. Everything is as the description says. overall, Complete 5 stars for the stay and 10 stars for the host 😄.

I am English staying with young family.. 6 of us a laf minute booking. Much to appreciate from RUPUL as a Barrister at the Bar in Kandy/Colombo and country’s high Courts . I’m a forever returning visitor. The sitting room so stylish and crammed with not just law material! The breakfast was excellent and very accommodating for taking 2nd one with is to sight see early. Strongly recommend for large families. As place and tranquility yo self. Peaceful only hearing the nature I thank you and your wife Upil and obliging staff)Muhindera(sp) Loose U.K. family Sri Lankan

Just got back from the most peaceful getaway! .The place was tucked away in a stunning backwater setting — calm, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The view alone is worth the stay! The cottage was super cozy and well-kept, giving off perfect chill vibes. If you’re looking to unplug and recharge, this is definitely the spot. Would totally recommend it to friends and family — a hidden gem for sure!

The stay was very pleasant, will book again.

The place is just as shown in the photos. The property is close to all major locations. The host is very accommodating and helpful.

Malika and Dave have a very nice getaway at Casa Cabana. It's perfect for those who want a nice peaceful place away from all the buzz. Their property is a part of a ranch and they have multiple options for stay. Guests are provided with a kitchen that has basic staples like tea, coffee, oil, sugar, salt. It is also equipped with a few basic utensils. You can cook using some of Malika's organic vegetables or get some food to whip up a nice meal. There is no WiFi or TV which was fine by us since we got to spend a lot of time outdoors or just playing with the kids. The space is pet friendly and the property works well for couples or a small family. Great food cooked by Malika and her help and very responsive caretakers as well. Read her guidebook on what to do at Denkanikotai for planning an itenirary.

Most places claim to be “pet-friendly” but come with a rulebook. Scotty’s House? Truly pet-friendly—with zero stress. If you're a pet parent, this place is a dream. Amit and Caroline (pet parents themselves) have thought of everything—secure fencing, private entry, and total peace of mind while your dogs roam free. Though the hosts live next door, privacy is complete. The house is gorgeous, spotless, and replete with thoughtful touches. A cozy and comfortable bed, a well-stocked kitchen (bread, butter, eggs, coffee, spices—check!), and even a great takeaway recommendation from Amit. That butter chicken? Magic! The lawn’s perfect for zoomies, the Kalote Dam is right there for doggy swims, and the only noise you'll hear is village life drifting by. Amit checked in just enough—not too much, not too little. House rules? Simple: respect the space. We’re just an hour away in Mumbai and have already decided this is our dogs' new happy place. Highly, highly recommend. Can’t wait to be back!

Siddesh, his team and Clemente are amazing people! Everything I read about the property is 100% true. The food is amazing. The stay is at an untouched location. They were generous to set up a candle night dinner at the beach. We are extremely happy and would recommend it to everyone!

Very well maintained property for a quick getaway from the city. Amenities were up to the mark. Bathroom is also well equipped taking into consideration the requirements of senior citizens as well. Summers could be a bit problematic as afternoons get way too hot. Overall ventilation & cooler helps with the excessive heat. But it’s a definite yes in the monsoons. I’ll definitely plan up a visit in the rains for sure.

Hi, This is our first trip to Wayanad and we booked this place based on earlier recommendation. Boy, how lucky we were. We reached around 1930 hours but the caretaker Mustafa was waiting for us there. Mustafa comes early in morning and stays till late night. Host Mr. Vinoth was great. He was guiding us and shared local recommendations as well and reached out well early to make the checking process smooth. Breakfast was complimentary and we loved the Puttu, Kadala Curry, Pure Bhaji. It changes everyday and we asked for Puttu again after having appam the next day. Highlight was location, home and the bonfire with Barbequed chicken. It was amazing, we asked for a repeat the next day. Loved the family time with Bonfire, the chillness and the amzing food. Mustafa takes personal care of you. The only minus was the missing AC / Washing machine. However, Mustafa was kind enough to get our cloth laundered and there was no need for AC. Wayanad is AC buddy!!! Loved every Moment!!!

If you're searching for a serene, earthy, and pet-friendly getaway in Goa, look no further! I had a fantastic staycation—the house is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s ideal for longer stays and an excellent choice if you're working remotely. The peaceful vibe makes it easy to relax, and the secure parking space is a great bonus. Shilpi, the host, is incredibly helpful and approachable. She made my stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend this place—especially if you have a furry friend 💙

Amazing place! Had a wonderful stay at Drongo’s nest! Pavana was an amazing host, close to the beach, wonderful restaurants around. Pavana’s instructions were clear. Felt at home.

Abhijay is a large airy and bright bungalow with a great view. It feels like how a home should with personal details and some rough edges. There’s plenty of room for a large group and it is a fairly comfortable space. The terraces and rock garden are standouts. The garden is landscaped with a lot of attention to detail and you can comfortably spend a couple of hours discovering its treasures. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, crockery, and tableware. The only issue you might have (as a large group) is the number of washrooms. There are only two, but you know that going in. Overall, we had a great time. Vaijayanti is a warm and communicative host. Highly recommend!

If you want an authentic nature immersed experience, this is the place. We had the best time here. Oriole is a home-away-from-home. The hosts have lovingly curated this home and the human touch can be felt. The mornings are filled with birdsong and sunsets are blissful. It was a pleasure talking with Seema ji and Aditya ji. Amazing souls with great personalities. Definitely visit this home if you want a top-notch stay with a world-class host.

I must say we had a wonderful time at the property. We (me and my wife) work and we were looking for some peace and tranquility. We got both, thank you for having nice caretakers at the place too. Overall we have decided to come back again 😀

The stay was absolutely amazing. Mohit was super helpful and is just a call away for anything. Super responsive and helpful. Helped us with any issues that we had. The place as exactly like the pictures, very peaceful and comfortable. The location is also great as the beach is just a 5-7 min ride away. Amazing experience staying here. Anyone who wants to stay in Mandrem, this place will not disappoint.

This small cottage was amazing. Great Stay and a door step away to the Beach. Well worth it. Super responsive host. Thank VJ wish we could have stayed longer

This is a small and cozy yet a very beautiful place to stay with your gang or as a couple. Shoutout to the property maintenance folks. They are extremely responsive and never hesitant to go an extra mile to delivery service. There’s a kitchen in the property so Swiggy won’t be needed. The food is more than decent and they make it super fast as you order. Additional charges for food will be charged. Overall, extremely satisfied!

A very peaceful getaway, lots of space to relax and use of both pools without other guests. Sharmila was very responsive and helpful during the booking process, and Sunil was on site when we arrived to guide us to the villa and help us settle in. Highly recommend this place, it’s good value for money for the amenities offered and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We liked being able to be fully self catering and as there were no other guests it was extremely private. Thanks and we are looking forward to coming back!

We had a great time at Aiyappa's place. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Property is surrounded by coffee plantations and offers a peaceful atmosphere. Host was always there to guide us. He recommended local attractions and scheduled our visits in and around coorg. They offer homely delicious food.

We had a lovely time :) such a wonderful space and scenery from the balcony and the rooms were clean and nicely furnished. We would stay again
