Holiday rentals with breakfast in Kovalam

The stay was planned as a getaway with family which included elderly parents and 4 others in their 30's. The pool was decent sized and the rooms were all neat with a traditional feel, which really made the parents at ease. Restaurant, beach and other amenities were very close and accessible. It was an easy going experience with no tension in the air. The host Nishal was an absolute gent and was with us whenever we needed him. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend it to families and groups of adult friends to hang out.

Good stay. Nearby beach.

Great property with all amenities. Highly recommended. Only challenge was to reach to this property. Well maintained house with excellent amenities including clean swimming pool.

I had a wonderful stay at Griffith's house! The room was peaceful, neat, and impeccably clean, making for a very comfortable experience. The host and his family were incredibly humble, warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. He was kind enough to drop me at my office the next morning, which was a thoughtful gesture. I also enjoyed the delicious breakfast they served. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a homely and comfortable stay!

It was amazing experience staying here. Caretaker as well as helper were amazing.

Our host’s lovely personality made our stay great. Any issues we initially had were quickly attended to. Radha, our host brought daily breakfast from a local restaurant; large quantities of Indian food (i.e. eggs, sambar, dosa, tea). We prepared some meals in the minimal kitchen with goods brought in by Radha (we requested it at our expense). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Radha! *small, local rustic restaurant that cooks over wood; food was delicious, decor not:) *massages at a local tribal place. Woah…again VERY rustic. The male massage was fantastic, female massage poor. *cottage has private access to the river, last free flowing one in Kerala, so beautiful! Swift with strong undercurrent, not recommended for swimming, many people have been fooled by its peaceful appearance and drowned. *wild, mischievous monkeys invade every few days (keep your belongings indoors) interaction not encouraged. Rustic cottage in a jungle forest, bugs, animals, minimal, we ❤️ it

Just perfect. From reception to care to checkout, it couldn't have been better. European standard apartment in the city with views in almost all directions. Dr. Syed speaks perfect German and English. Even the smallest requests for support are immediately helped. And the careaker in the house is also great. If you have to, he'll get almost everything for the guests before you have to do it yourself. Here you can give a generous tip to finish. We will definitely come back again. Thank you Dr. Syed for the perfect stay with you. With best regards, Bernhard

A clean and spacious place with amazing hospitality, suitable for families or solo travellers. It is suitably located in a residential area. The caretaker Matthew went out of his way to ensure I had a comfortable stay. Highly recommended if planning to stay in and around Trivandrum.

Absolutely wonderful facility and very convenient. The host and caretaker are readily available to see to any needs tgat arise.

Highly recommended

My 9 year old son and I stayed here. My son was excited to stay in Muraleedharan sir's place after seeing the photos. The host's family members and his caretaker were friendly to us and we had a comfortable stay. The quality and taste of food was really nice and worth the price.

Anitha's Garden Stay is a nice place. Staff is friendly and helpful. It's clean and it is exactly as described. WiFi works fine. Breakfast is simple but food is fresh and yummy. I do recommend it and I wouldn't mind staying there again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Really lovely place to stay. The family who runs it is super friendly and helpful with anything and everything. The garden is full of beautiful fruit trees and also has two very cute ducks. The room at this homestay is very comfortable and the food served is outstanding! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this extremely peaceful location and can't wait to stay again.

Shama's place is on the South Cliff... away from the North cliff, which is really what we were looking for... some peace and quiet and to focus on beach time. The beach was a good 7-10 min walk with the 4 year old and we got back home by climbing the cliff steps at Tripp is Life. Soul and Surf was a breezy 15-20 min walk away for us. The room was spacious, cool, tastefully done, had an attached bathroom with an open to sky bath area which was stunning. The sit-out was where we ate our very wholesome breakfasts and hung out when we got back from our beach days. The garden facing room gave us privacy that we needed. Varkala was spectacular and what made it so special was our stay. The staff was attentive and helpful. We'd look forward to coming back to stay at Shama's place when we return to Varkala.

Amazing stay at Shama's! Communication was great, the on property staff was incredibly helpful and got up in the middle of the night to let us in. The room is cozy and the bed super comfortable. The breakdasts were delicious and a highlight of our stay. The property overall is very beautiful and located close to the cliffs and a short rickshaw ride away from the main part of town. I would definintely stay here again when coming back. Thank you Shama and team for making us feel as home.
