Cottage holiday rentals in South India

it was a great experience and a great cottage to stay at.

A great place with a wonderful view. The stay was very comfortable with no disturbances. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable.

The stay was very pleasant, will book again.

Nabeel was super responsive and helpful. They easily accommodated our request for a late checkin and early checkout. Nabeel was very warm and welcoming. Thanks for the amazing stay.

The place was overall a decent property. Food prepared was great. Definitely recommended. The staff were supportive throughout. The owner himself was there during check-in and a true gentleman. There are always chances to improve. The Wi-Fi could have been better.

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.

Scotty's Den is a beautiful place for pet parents with furry babies..... my kiddo loves the place and we felt right at home... it's so peaceful and beautiful to stay in... Thank you once again for the amazing experience for my kid... Amit and his wife are extremely approachable... always a phone call away...

Vinayaka sir, Mahalaxmi akka and Anna made sure that we felt right at home, tolerating my each and every questions despite communication barriers they made me feel at home, like my village like my native. Vinayaka sir even before the time we left Bangalore and Enroute made sure with his phone calls that me and my friends were safe and not facing any problem along the route. The place was unmatched for me, I think for a long time there is no topping it. I now understand why this place is a Rare find and that too at such an amazing price. The starry nights and the day views of the valley left me wanting more. Just one thing to keep in mind that the phone network is not at all available inside the house but you can make calls wifi calling feature in your phone and you will be fine. My extra love goes out to the lovely cat (I don’t know her name) and kulfi and oreo, the two beautiful dogs. It was my most wholesome trip ever. The trek too is a highlight of the place.

The location is amazing and friendly staffs. Cabins are clean and has very good view. Sandeep was helpful and catered for all our needs. something which can be improved is, there were lot of insects in the cabin.

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!!!

Had a pleasant stay. Host Vinaya was humble and responsive. A good place to meditate and contemplate . near to beach. Locals are friendly. Viewing sunset from yermal beach was soothing and calm without much people around.

I specifically chose this area because it is central to all the places I travel to. • The house is beautiful and comforting. It has everything in the kitchen that you could use for cooking. • The bedroom has a nice mattress and the room gets pitch dark at night which is amazing for a good sleep. • There are cute cats that are super friendly if you love animals. • Fruit and vegetable shops are also close-by. • There are also nice cafes of different cuisine in walkable distance. • I loved my early morning walks here. • The porch is also very relaxing. • Not to forget, there is an amazing selection of books that will keep you engaged when you’re home. • The house is on the road which is a common way to the Airport and has constant traffic passing by during the day but gets quieter later in the evening. If you’re going to be out most of the time then this should not be a problem. Very good overall experience. Would definitely book again.

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!

Oriole Villa is a delight—easy to locate, impeccably clean, and so comfortable! Despite visiting in the sweltering summer heat, the villa’s peaceful vibe still charmed us. We can only imagine how magical it must be during monsoon mist or winter coziness! The host deserves applause for being super responsive, proactive, and genuinely kind. They made us feel like old friends, not strangers, always ready to assist with anything. Location-wise, there’s plenty to explore nearby (we’ll return in cooler weather to enjoy those attractions!). Perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a hassle-free, serene getaway with a host who goes the extra mile.

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 😀

Super Host, responsive, well published listing with all details, clear instructions to find the place, very peaceful and comfortable stay. perfect for a family of 4. Prerna has arranged everything so well. the caretay Nandini was trained well. Breakfast included was good tasty homemade. We order Lunch /Dinner was super tasty. excellent stay if you are looking for serenity. the plus point was Mushty the dog at property.. enjoyed..

I had a wonderful week at this beautiful, secluded property next to Kaldan Samudra in Mahabalipuram. The location is perfect—peaceful, private, and with direct access to the beach right at the doorstep. Waking up to the sound of waves and having the ocean just steps away was truly special. Vijay, the host, is incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything needed. The home itself is well-maintained, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere, high-speed internet, a fully functional kitchen, and reliable power backup—making it comfortable for both short and long stays. It’s also well-situated, with all major scenic spots within a 10km radius, making it easy to explore the area. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a base to explore Mahabalipuram, this place is a fantastic choice. Would definitely stay here again!

Hi Sharmilla, We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Tranquillity. The garden and surroundings are stunning, with beautiful pools leading into a vast palm forest and nature reserve. The tranquility is incredible—just birdsong and the sounds of nature all around. Sunil, the caretaker, was amazing. He helped with everything, from getting fresh fruit at a local farm to arranging a tuk-tuk. Such a kind and attentive person! We felt truly pampered and completely relaxed. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience! Warm regards, Family Grun from the Netherlands.

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

We had a wonderful stay at Ghazzali's place! Ghazzali's communication was incredibly quick and clear, making the check-in process seamless and stress-free. The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and equipped with all the essentials. It perfectly met our expectations. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Thank you for hosting My family!

Great place, owner is always keen to help. Serene, beautiful away from hustle bustle. Great place to relax.
