There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

Staying here was the best part of our 3 week trip. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable and it was lovely to have fresh flowers in the bedroom. We loved relaxing on the loungers and other seats in the open area and viewing all the boats, wildlife and locals in the backwaters. We enjoyed mooring up overnight in a quiet location. The driver and chef were friendly and helpful - we couldn’t have had a better time.

The food was amazing! We were unable to finish it all though!! Gorgeous scenery The sound of the birds at dusk and dawn was really special Where we moored overnight you could not hear any beeping horns. A first for our Indian trip! The boat was lovely and very well maintained. We travelled along serenely with hardly any engine noise

    It's a nice quiet location with a lovely view. Only a 5 minute walk to the bar at the Ramada hotel. Friendly staff arranged the nice houseboat trip. The houseboat was very clean. It had the softest and cleanest bedding I've had during my last 2 weeks in India. The 3 guys taking care of us on the boat were great fun and friendly. They could not have been more attentive. The good cook, funny captain, and the fab singing caretaker all made us feel welcome and relaxed.

    Location is perfect right on the water’s edge, loved the wood! - we enjoyed the views, took out a Shakira and really loved the recommended walk. Nice to have an alternative stay in Alleppey without going on a houseboat. Jeswin was so helpful with all and a pleasure to meet.
