Jinu the Host, came over 230km just to pick us up from the Hotel In Kochi. He was well presented and spoken. Made us comfortable instantly. He offered to take us wherever we wished to go. He advised on the right places to have food in. He also purchased our tickets and this avoided us waiting in long queues especially in the hot weather.. He provided us with amazing and lovely home cooked meal. A taste to die for. The homestay is just a km from Kovalam Chowara Beach. We wish Jinu well and will r Highly recommend his place for a clean and comfortable stay 👌

Set in Kovalam, Ganesh Ayurveda Holiday Home Bed and Breakfast boasts a sun terrace and views of the lake. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant serving Ayurvedic vegetarian dishes. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property. Ayurvedic treatment packages and on-site yoga classes are available upon request.

It is on the edge of a lake, covered with purple flowers depending on the time of day and water levels. The dichotomy of wealthy (empty) vacation homes and tiny traditional villages is interesting to experience. The villagers are very sweet and children come from the houses to greet passersby. The pool is very clean and a rooftop terrace is a nice place to have breakfast, write, relax and do morning yoga. We had some great Ayurveda massages and the owner had a group dinner prepared for us one night to share with the other guests. Many don’t like the distance to the beach, but we appreciated being out of the hustle and bustle of Lighthouse Beach. NYE we moved to the beach with bus loads of people coming in from the country…we may be regretting our change. Murugan, the host, is an Indian Mr. Roark and will do everything in his power to make your vacation comfortable.

    This place is an absolute must if you want to be away from it all and want reasonable priced excellent Ayurvedic treatments. Manager is wonderful and arranges airport pickups, Tuk Tuk rides and anything else you may require. Located next to a lake with good walking routes. Local village surroundings, but a 10 minute Tuk Tuk drive to beaches. I will go back

    The isolation and tranquillity of this holiday home is exceptional, booked it on the back of tremendous ratings and we were not disappointed. The staff were wonderful, the accommodation is a genuine 3***, breakfast, whilst simple was adequately good, and the pool a welcome relief at times. The owner, our host was so obliging and helpful, we will return!

    I cannot praise this beautiful village highly enough. Such a healing place. The staff go out of their way to be helpful. The facilities are exceptional, amazing pools and the Ayurvedic treatments are taken very seriously and delivered with absolute commitment. The meals are prepared according to the Ayurvedic concepts and Dosha types. The grounds are lovely. The beach nearby is a public one but with a section for the hotel staff.
