The houseboat itself was inspired by old houseboat designs but was quite modern and very comfortable. The staff were excellent with the cook preparing lavish feasts for us - food was exceptional! They even had binoculars for bird watching - something I didn't know I would enjoy so much. Absolutely unforgettable experience.

Food was amazing. Details were specific. Location easy to find. Clean boat with an incredible staff. You can also buy more fish at a market they take you to and they will cook it for you. We bought massive tiger prawns and they were delicious.

Our stay on the houseboat was incredible! The staff was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The organization was flawless, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The boat itself was beautifully maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms and great amenities. The food was a highlight. Authentic Kerala flavors, freshly prepared and delicious. A perfect way to experience the backwaters! Highly recommended, and we’d love to come back.

This is a MUST in Kerala. With my husband and a couple of friends, we took a traditional ultra deluxe cruise and spent the night on the boat. It was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is breathtaking, and it's beautiful to see how the scenery changes as you navigate through the wide or narrow canals of the backwaters. We spent one night, but I would have loved to stay another day. In the evening, the boat docks in a place where only we were, creating a peaceful and excellent relaxing atmosphere. The boat was impeccable and comfortable, truly flawless. The food was exquisite, offering a wide variety for those who wanted to try the delights of Kerala cuisine or those who preferred something more international. The staff was very friendly and had excellent communication. Unforgettable!

I was not expecting a boat with high ends finishes: room and, most importantly, bathroom were spectacular. The roof terrace is amazing to spend time just relaxing and soaking up this experience. I came with 3 friends and we all had a great time spending time with each other.

Good value for money house boat. Staff is amazing. Food is prepared on board by excellent chef: fish fry lunch, veg or non-veg dinner on request and breakfast. Excursion on canoe-style boat in the small canals was a nice addition. A/C in bedroom works well. Spacious bathroom
