If the property had some food option, it would me more good :)

It’s on very good location and just 5 min walk to beach. Host Sampath and Mirnalini are very helpful.

Loved the stay , the house was in perfect location , very central to all monuments in mamallapuram .. we stay with our 1 yr old and it was very easy to get back to stay for nap time . Also very near to A2B , so we were sorted food wise . And mrunalini mam let us use the kitchen to prepare food for our kid .. it was a wonderful stay

Home stay is good. Very calm with lot of space

a suggestion :- 1. care taker at least should know English so that it is easy to communicate when the owner is not there. it was tough to communicate to him 2. if there is a electric kettle .. it will be great so that we can make out own tea or coffee or have hot water and some mugs and satchets of coffee/tea/ sugar

I liked the way Mrinalini mam greeted us . She was continuously in communication with me till we reached the destination. The location was superb . We could hear the sea waves sound from the balcony. aunty also provided plates when asked and allowed to enter her kitchen to taking hot water

Little uncomfortable with the dog... Otherwise excellent place to stay much peacefully and comfortably with family...

The place is extremely good, clean, highly spacious and comfortable for a family stay... Good value for money....

The property doesn't offer breakfast. The staff (a watchman and a cleaning lady) are not that responsive. Not many restaurants nearby.

Good location. Friendly host. Nice property

A dressing table required. We have to use the small mirror placed inside the washroom.

Calmness and safety being a home.

Stayed in April 2024

Everything was great. One can have lunch and dinner easily at the A2B restaurant, however I feel that there should be an option to get tea/coffee in the morning as some of us(specially me) to wake up in the morning.

The house, it’s very beautiful and one can experience the true nature of a South Indian stay.

Location and cleanliness

common entrance, no worker, no breakfast

It's a home. car parking outside only, common entrance was not comfortable. 1.8k per day was a good offer.

Stayed in February 2024

I had to ask for a cup of tea in the morning and a water refill. It was not offered as part of the welcome

The rooms are big and beds comfortable.

Stayed in January 2024

initial part of the public approach road has no lighting. There is only a common entrance which was a small inconvenience.

A very nice homestay, very reasonably priced, in a road opposite to A2B from where we had our food, all major attractions are nearby..good spacious enough rooms for two, large common living area and balcony and absolutely clean bathrooms and linen. We were a group of four women and we felt it was a safe location.

The score has been lowered because there was no wifi in the bedroom and on last night and morning the floor between my bed and bathroom was covered with many hundreds of dead and dying ants. These may have been disturbed by the building works next door,

The room was large, clean and comfortable. The house is a short pleasant walk to the town and beach. The hosts were courteous though more reserved than engaging.

Access to the property is good. Beach &, A2B restaurant are very close. Ideal for quite family holiday. Host is very helpful.

1. WiFi range in some rooms is a little less 2. Sad to see their family dog chained all the time, did play a little with the cutie though

For anyone looking to stay a little away from the noisy town of Mahabalipuram & willing to stay with 2 old, retired people who value peace & quiet (this property is in a nice, peaceful place around 10 mins away from town & run like a Homestay), this is your best choice. The property is close to the highway (5 mins walk) & has many restaurants nearby (like A 2 B), the caretaker is helpful & can even bring you back your meals on his scooter (as he did for us when it was raining) & Aunty/Uncle will make you feel at home & serve you lovely coffee (early in the morning, mind you) & make you feel at home, however possible. The rooms are big, AC is powerful & 2 rooms have lovely balconies facing the beach + 1 big common area on 1st floor (the owners live on ground floor, main entrance is through a common door so you wont have a separate entry & cannot come back too late either) Mrinalini Aunty manages the stay & is extremely responsive on WhatsApp too. Just remember to treat this stay as you would any friend's or parent's home, thus enjoying your stay at Home Away from Home

Its more like a home where first floor is rented out for guests. Room is spacious along with the loving room with AC facility. Host Mrs. Mrinalini was good and assisted us in minor issues.

Nothing specific

The house was quite spacious and quite close to the beach. Near to restaurant like A2B. Facilities such as fans and air-conditioning were very effective.

We have to disturb the owners every time as we go out and come as the entrance is through their hall.

Good place. Very well maintained and clean.
