A small stay with few rooms to accommodate around 15 people. They have used traditional construction for the rooms. It is partially covered by fields which gives a nice and calm view in the evenings. Food options are limited and shall be pre-ordered. They have a small pool, but not maintained regularly. Overall it was a nice stay here. It gives you a calm and refreshing feel away from the town. The staff were very cooperative. Also, it is a good option if you are planning for a family or friends get-together.

Good experience overall. If your car has low ground clearance, reaching the resort might be a bit challenging as the approach road is slightly off-road. The resort has a charming traditional look, and the rooms were neat and clean. They provided extra beds and bedsheets as requested, and the food was also nice. Over all its a good place for family or groups

A great spot for family and group fun. This resort is beautifully designed both aesthetically and traditionally, making it an ideal location for photography. We chose this place for our Onam get-together and a family photo shoot with 16 members. The ambiance was wonderful, and the hospitality was excellent, thanks to Noby and his supporting staff, Mathaiachan and Chechi. Please note that the access road is rough and off-road, but it is manageable for car travel. We used a 16-seater Urbania for our visit. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience with our family.
