Everything — the cottage, the ambience, the nature, the surroundings, the location, the lake view — everything was just perfect. The best part is, it’s pet-friendly, and for a solo female traveler it felt so safe. The staff were so nice, and their pet was super cute and friendly. I even had a massage session while the staff looked after my pet. Everyone was kind and welcoming. It’s such a beautiful stay — I’ll definitely come back for more days. At least 2 days are needed to truly enjoy the property. No need to go anywhere else, just stay in and soak in nature.

The price is a bit high.

Location.

Stayed in August 2025

It's a bit away from the main Varkala town, which I already knew and was okay with, so guests should only book this property if they don't plan to visit the popular areas. Also, there are a few dogs and one cat at the property, and it would be great if the staff would take care of them a bit better. The cat in particular, was very skinny. I would request the staff to look into this.

This is a very beautiful property located in nature. We saw so much pretty flora and fauna, and the lake view is amazing. Breakfast is good, but the food options are a bit limited for dinner. The room was amazing and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly and approachable. I would 10/10 book again if in town.

The location is amazing. Such a calm and serene lake side property. Perfect place to unwind. Ayurveda treatment was really good, which we opted after seeing the facilities there. Rooms are spacious and neat. The highlight of the stay was doing yoga early morning by the lake side. It was such a surreal experience.

Didn't like the boat ride provided from there. But when I enquired, there's another boat service 13km away, through the lagoons and all, so don't go for the ride provided by the resort.

The property is absolutely fantastic, offering top-notch hospitality that truly stands out. The highlight of my experience was the Ayurvedic therapy—it was exceptional. The doctor and staff were highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to providing the best care, not just going through the motions. Every aspect of the treatment felt authentic and effective. I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and I can’t wait to visit again soon!

Excellent Breakfast and location

The food was a bit expensive. We were disappointed that the rooms near the lake were not available.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Everything we asked for, the staff was helpful and got for us. We loved the lake and the food.

Pleasant stay overall, but property renovations limited the experience. Great location for calm enthusiasts, though food quality needs improvement.

Stayed in January 2025

The property is new so they are still working on things. The food is something that need to work upon. The options are less and the taste isn't as good as one would expect from such properties.

The location is magical. It is very offbeat. People might find it difficult to find but it's amazing. Located right by the Backwaters and you can just chill there for hours.

I was blessed that I ended up here. It is under new ownership and management. Not everything ready but everything has solution. I am female solo traveller. Felt completely comfortable and safe. Have a great single room with nice bathroom. Perfect for 1 person with simply divine view. When there was no yoga so they arranged for me 1-1 sessions on the dock. The food was delicious, authentic Keralan food. The staff were fantastic especially the manager Ravi. Very good at customer relations. The Ayurvedic massage was so superb I had another in my short 2 night trip. Next time I will take it to do much longer as the avyuredic treatments need a week. The therapist was so dedicated that in just2 treatments I felt a change. The location is sublime. So peaceful. So quiet. So pretty. Highly recommend. The yoga Shala was under short renovation but it looks to be a beautiful space to do yoga. A short 30 min auto tuk tuk to varkala beach and then back to serenity.

Stayed in December 2024

The hotel is not near the varkala cliff or all the main beaches/restaurants, altough they are easily reachable through a tuk tuk ride (250rs each way). Food service to be improved due to long waiting time.

Nice property with a wonderfull garden full of interesting plants and animals with great view and access on the nearby lake. Kayaking activities included with no extra price. Kind staff always available for suggestions.

Its a beautiful pet friendly property located on the banks of a lake. Its well kept and theyve maintained the natural environment of that area. We took the lake view room which had a nice view . The room was small but was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and the food was decent. They offer activities like kayaking which were also very good. A big plus was that we were able to take our pets.Overall it was a pretty good experience.
