Superbly located traditional riverside Keralan bungalow located on farm smallholding. Adjacent bathing ghat leading to the river. Tucked away in the forest but only 10 mins walk to shops & restaurants and 3 km from rail station. Calm and serene location, hosted by friendly couple who provided delicious Keralan food. Bags of space including generous hallway, equipped kitchen diner and good sized bedroom with adjoining bathroom. Effective mosquito screens ensured a good nights sleep. Air con unnecessary as all rooms equipped with rotating fans.

Truly a piece of heaven. Humble generosity meets earthly luxury. I had breakfast lunch and dinner, curated especially for me. Everything I tasted was delicious and healthy. They even made me my favorite dish, which was not in season, but somehow they found it and made it. Ayurvedic treatments to nourish your body, yoga to nourish your soul. The river a few steps away from you. Not to mention to be woken up everyday by beautiful bird songs. They chauffeured me everywhere, gave me a personal tour of the town. I can't believe I got to experience this ❤️

Owner family were very warm and welcoming,and they helped me arrange a shikara boat trip.Location excellent and quiet,the room is clean, and there is a bird sanctuary nearby. I woke up to the singing of birds in the morning. It was a very friendly place to stay like home. You can ask them for activities and they will try their best to help you arrange them. The food is excellent delicious.

This is such a beautiful and unique place to stay! Wake up to see the sun rising over the backwaters. The owner and staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. I came with 6 of my Yoga students as part of a tour of Kerala and everyone loved it here. They also cooked dinner and breakfast for us which was so delicious! You could taste the love in the food. The owner Shanavas helped me book a houseboat months in advance which turned out great! I highly recommend this quiet and tranquil place!

    Seriously an excellent homestay experience. You're in gorgeous jungle farmland, with amazingly friendly and helpful hosts, and the rooms are very comfortable. I can't recommend enough. There is a pool, a river right outside with boats and kayaks in the right season. Birds and other friendly critters about. Remote enough but also food delivery is available and they cook amazing free breakfast everyday. Excellent dinners are provided daily if desired for a very reasonable price. You should stay here!

    Very beautiful and quiet scenery, because the homestay is in the middle of the nature. Ajith and his family are the sweetest and most generous people and helped us with all our questions. One morning we did canoeing which was very nice in the surroundings of the homestay. The evening dinners and breakfast were cooked by Ajiths mother which were very tasty. Because we liked the atmosphere at the place so much we booked an additional night.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Kuttickattil Gardens Homestay. Ajith and his family were fabulous hosts and the food was delicious! It was especially nice to have access to a small kitchen and fridge, as well as a washing machine. They also provided drinking water for refilling our water bottles. We highly recommend staying at Kuttickattil Homestay!
