Reviews of Noah's Nest Tree House

Stunning location.

We had an amazing stay at Noah's Nest Tree House. The hosts are lovely and helped us with everything, especially booking a great tour in Gavi, where we could see elephants, monkeys and waterfalls. We are very satisfied with the room and the view is even better in real life. We also went kayaking in their river, lovely experience.

The only thing is the food options. Since it is a bit far away from restaurants there were only one meny available, food was ok nothing special.

Such a beautiful outlook over the river. Comfortable room, and very peaceful and quiet location. The caretaker was very helpful.

The road was a little difficult but fine.

Jungle treehouse and houseboat. We swam in the river which was safe (as far as we knew!). Rooms are all pretty basic but clean and the bucket showers are excellent. We stayed in the beached boat which was romantic, but a steep climb down. Bats whack the roof at night. You will sleep better when you know this. Breakfast is good but basic. You can easily order food and drink from a local restaurant, which was very good indeed - but beware over ordering as we did! Lovely walk in the neighbouring tea plantation. Book any Periyar park tours - half hour drive away - as early as possible in person at the Ecotourism centre in Thekkady. Website won't let you complete bookings and places are limited. We took the half day trek and rafting which was excellent. Thanks to Ganesh who looked after us nicely and booked everything.

Beware that if you take the houseboat, which you should, it's a long way down the steps and back up with your bags. Also you're in the jungle so expect lots of night time critter activity - outside hopefully!

The location is beautiful and the experience itself is one of a kind. The staff is nice and helpful. Cleanliness was overall good for a treehouse in the nature.

We found the price to be quite high compared to what you get. The toilet and the fittings of the shower were broken and need some repair. We managed anyway, but it's not the optimal solution if you want to relax. Also breakfast could have been a bit more abundant. We found the place where we got the breakfast quite dirty unfortunately.

All in one it was a very pleasant stay, Ganesh, the caretaker was always helpful, the breakfast was beautiful and the surroundings so beautiful.

We got the best room with the lake/ river view. Amazing view from my bed. I have canceled all my programs and enjoyed the view in whole day. The owners and workers are lovely people.

We needed to go out every time for food. As we had a car, it was not a big drama. We could order food but it cost a fortune (3 - 4 times more than restaurants).

Fab stay in a remote location by the water! Nice and quiet, hosts were great. Would come back to stay longer if given the chance

The location is spectacular since you are IN nature. The idea of staying in a treehouse like room is really fun and makes the whole experience of immersing in nature spectacular. The hosts were very warm and amicable and waived the payment for dinner as we experienced serious water pressure problems in one of the rooms.

The grounds surrounding the boat-room was infested with leeches and the access was not for the faint hearted. The room content/amenities were not up to the standards we expected as the price we paid was similar to a well run 3-4 star hotel (sheets were not very clean, no shampoo etc.) and the same goes for the breakfast that was minimal and we were expected to pay extra for extra tea and an additional boiled egg.

We have stayed only for one night but it was interesting experience. We loved the fact that we are in the middle of nature, just watching the trees and birds and otherwise silent and calm As we came in the evening, the caretaker even went to a restaurant nearby and brought us dinner. The road to get there by car was a bit challenging and it's good to have smaller luggages or backpack as they need to be carried up and down stairs.

It was a bit challenge to get hot water running in the bathroom and obviously all the amenities are a bit simpler, but why not. :) Expect possible animal encounter as I found quite a big spider behind by suitcase in the morning. :D Fortunately didn't take him with me.

Great location, definitely back to nature as few places can be. Very smooth communication with Philip the owner. And special thanks to caretaker Ganeshan for all his help and for the kitchen staff for delicious breakfast and dinner.

The view and ambience was amazing

The idea of the tree house is very cool and it really feels like you're in the middle of the forest. There's also a hanging bridge to go for breakfast which makes the experience more adventurous, and I could record some nice shots with the drone.

The hanging bridge to go to reception and dinner moves quite a lot and the handlers on the sides have some metallic spikes which may hurt if you grab them looking for balance

The location of the tree house is very beautiful and amazing. We would like to stay again during the winter also. Very good caretaker. It was a very pleasant stay.

We haven't taken the breakfast, but in the room it's mentioned only a bread and iam for the breakfast. Its very disappointed.

Nice net connectivity Unique Location Food available on order Breakfast very good Best for nature lover Kayaking

The setting is beautiful, up in the trees on a hill overlook the river below. The family who own the property are just lovely ! So welcoming. The food was good and the dining area has a fabulous view as do all of the tree houses.The caretaker was informative, attentive and helpful and our room was clean and comfortable, if you like birds it's a paradise. I will certainly return.

Absolutely nothing!

• Incredible location with terrific views. • Everything is so cool: access to the restaurant area is through a suspended wooden bridge, the tree houses are far enough from each other to offer privacy, the boat house adds to the uniqueness of the location, the restaurant has an old colonial lounge style and is fitted with a pool… • Cool lighting at night, making the place safe but still wild. • Easy walking & hiking paths straight from accommodation. • Good local traditional food offered on site.

• Wifi is very long to connect to (it took 20 minutes for the first device to get internet access, 60 minutes for the second). For some reason, iPhones cannot access the internet on the local network. 4G is okay.

This property was really unique and I was very happy to have spent 3 nights here, 2 nights in the houseboat and 1 night in the treehouse. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse because of its authenticity, views and great food. The owner and caretakers also were very helpful in arranging activities and driving me to the bus station with the tuktuk.

Not a bad thing, but good to know; the guesthouse is +/- 40 minutes away from the Periyar national park. You can take a tuktuk to the busstand and take a bus to Kumily or go directly by tuktuk.
