Editor's Review

The Backwater Heritage Homestay is located in a remote yet serene location overlooking the backwaters. There is a beautiful garden in the property. The rooms are quite comfortable and spacious with big verandas. You can relax on the swing beds in the verandas or on the hammocks in the garden. The only problem is that you cannot expect top-class services. The canoe rides are quite good but may be expensive.

Detailed Info


The Backwater Heritage Homestay is located in Kumarakom, about 8 km away from the town of Kottayam. It is situated on the banks of Meenachil River. The century-old wooden mansion offers a peaceful stay for families and couples since it is located far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. What appeals guests the most is the traditional home-made Kerala food. The property has a beautiful garden and provides a fine view of a tributory belonging to the Meenachil River.

The backwater stay is an ideal mix of antique charm and modern amenities. The hosts prepare highly tempting Kerala food for the guests but guests can also choose to cook their own food at the kitchen in the home. The rooms are well-furnished and have verandas with swing beds. Apart from this, the homestay also has spacious common rooms and a dining area. The beautiful lawn makes sure the kids have their fun. Guests can also take advantage of boat rides and catch some fish in the nearby pond.
