Bungalow holiday rentals in Kerala

I traveled back in time while enjoying modern amenities during my stay at Gigi's, which reminded me of visits to my grandparents' house. The floors and ceilings are constructed with solid 14-inch wide teak, a rarity these days. It is a privilege to stay in this home; it is very peaceful and conveniently located. The team takes extra care to maintain the historic property and was very accommodating, even helping to safely store our luggage after check-out.

The property is Right next to the tea estate, amazingly maintained, beautifully kept the European essence. Best for family of 5-7 members. They have huge balcony, spacious rooms, decent kitchen/study/living space. Overall Loved the support and hospitality. Nishant is a gem… he really went out of the way to help us. Note- google Maps doesn’t work accurately here, do not follow Gmaps… I strongly recommend to stay in constant touch with host while coming here.

Our stay was incredible, the house and property are truly beautiful and better than described. The house is spacious and comfortable. I will say that my husband and I traveled around India for 3+ weeks and Deepu's home was the only one with consistent, amazing hot water in the showers. Everything is sustainable, grown from the earth, and thoughtfully crafted. Deepu, Sanita, and Shijo were amazing hosts who were very responsive, kind, caring, and invested in us enjoying our time there. They went above and beyond to ensure this. Shijo is amazing cook and a wonderful, giving person as well. Thank you so much for having us and we hope to return one day! Lots of love, Diviya and Jamie

Very remote and un touristic a magical place. The beach house is sandwiched between a seemingly endless golden sand beach 35kms long and the calm of the backwater. Bicycles rides and boat trips recommended. Doc’s sense of intrinsic beauty and craftsmanship is evident in the 4 homes on the island that he has restored with an artists eye for detail. He was very welcoming and helpful with planning and organisation. We also had great conversations. Theyyam rituals are a must. We were lucky to see the dancing with fire. Otherwise my favorite things were evening Kayaking at sunset to the mangroves and early morning swimming & bird watching in the back water. It’s worth also checking the peacock house on the backwater side, it sleeps 4. Thank you, Doc, for creating spaces that are so sensitive to their environment and sharing your little paradise and curry plant 🌱 with us.!

I recently stayed at Govind's Vellayani Bungalow with family as I was attending a wedding in the vicinity, and it was an absolute delight to be there. The 4BHK villa is spacious, beautifully maintained, and has a cozy and homely feel. The rooms are air-conditioned, comfortable, and clean. The kitchen is equipped to make tea and toast (which we did) The spacious and verdant surroundings of the villa with the groundnut fruit tree, banana patches and jackfruit trees with a swing was simply wonderful. We got lost reaching the place. We completed a full "parikrama" of the Vellayani lake, saw red carpets of fresh red "keerai" (spinach) along the lakeside, interacted with fishermen catching "karimeen", spotted a cormorant, wnet up and down steep slopey Kerala roads before getting to the bungalow. We were simply charmed by being lost in God's own country.

Beautiful home stay amidst lovely surroundings. Mr. Ashok and Mala the cook are very responsive and responsible. Special mention is the lovely view from the deck. You don't get tire of it. The house and bathrooms are very well maintained with lovely antique wooden furniture. Amazing place 10/10.

Absolutely enchanting! Waterloo Bungalow isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience, a delightful step back in time with all the comforts of the present. The "time vibes" are palpable, creating an atmosphere of serene nostalgia, yet the modern amenities ensured a seamless and comfortable stay. The rooms were spacious, clean, and elegantly furnished.What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional service, particularly from the ever-helpful caretaker, Angel Sebastian. Her dedication and genuine warmth were remarkable. Angel went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.She effortlessly arranged reliable and comfortable transport, allowing us to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Ooty and Coonoor with ease. Evenings at Waterloo Bungalow were magical. Angel orchestrated a mesmerizing bonfire, a perfect way to unwind under the star-studded Ooty sky, creating unforgettable memories. And let's not forget the delicious breakfasts!This was a five-star experience!

The place was very peaceful and secluded. It is ideal for a group who want to take things slow. Rooms were spacious and clean. Only drawback is the food cooked by the home cook was a bit underwhelming.

We recently stayed at Notting Hill Homestay in Madikeri for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The heritage property, with its well-maintained three-bedroom setup, provided a comfortable and charming stay. The location was excellent, offering a peaceful retreat while being conveniently accessible. The caretakers were hospitable and ensured our needs were met, enhancing the overall experience. The food served was delicious, adding to the homely atmosphere. The hospitality and upkeep of the property were commendable, making our vacation in Coorg truly enjoyable.
