This was hands down the best experience of our whole India trip in the South! We met Jose first through staying at his homestay and he was incredibly hospitable and kind, chatting with us and giving us heaps of advice! This is Jose's own Houseboat that he booked and arranged for us and the whole experience was just incredible. The boat itself is a great size as it gives you the privacy you need for a couple staying overnight and it also allowed us to travel through narrower waters where they weren't any other tourists!! The backwaters were so beautiful and we had so much fun enjoying the view and the boat. The room in the boat is super clean, well maintained and there is even hot water and an AC machine!! This was luxury for us haha but it was super nice and we would highly recommend staying here. As well as this, the captain and the cook were also on board and they were the friendliest and kindest people ever! The captain talked away with me as I had endless questions and the chef is such a great funny guy, and showed us all these exercises and we even went for a swim with him! Also the food that we got served on the boat for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and also snacks) were AMAZING and traditional kerala style! It was all SOO YUMMY and me and my boyfriend were super satisfied 😋 Overall, Jose was the best host and this Houseboat experience was our best experience so far in the South. Thankyou Jose for everything!! ⭐💗

    Alina, our hostess on the house boat was really wonderful. She called us beforehand to ensure the driver had the proper direction to the house boat. The room was comfortable and all the arrangements were fantastic. The views from the boat house were absolutely stunning.

    Not too much detail here, as arrived late afternoon and departed for a houseboat stay the next morning. We saw on here that people felt that the short canoe ride required to get to the property was a negative, but it added fun to the trip for us. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast delivered to our veranda outside room was ample. Room wasn't huge, but worked for the one night we needed it for. Lovely spot on the river.
