Kerala cottage

Hotel in Varkala

Boasting a garden and views of sea, Kerala cottage is set in Varkala, a few steps from Odayam Beach.

The property is right in the cliffs with beautiful ocean views. Just far enough from the restaurants and shops to be tranquil, but close enough to hop on a tuk-tuk and be there in minutes! Walking distance from the beach (Odayam beach better for swimming than Papansam beach - current very strong here). Friendly staff and GREAT breakfast. Rooms are huge and have beautiful furniture. VERY good value for money. The strip with loads of restaurants and shops were a treat at night. Visit the Janardana Swamy temple - more than 2000 years old! Excellent yoga classes available in the area.

Tiny Temple is a rare gem set back from a quiet section of 'the strip' close to Black Beach. Swati, the host, couldn't be sweeter. He was really helpful and made us feel completely at home. The location and view from the rooftop/deck is unbeatable and the price was totally reasonable (we were there just before 'high' season). New Wifi is being installed which will be the cherry on top! Another perk was the fine folks at Elina's Clifftop Restraunt (next door) who were really accommodating and even offered room/rooftop service. My daughter and I took a risk on a spot without reviews and in this case we're so glad we did. Can't recommend it highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. The property is truly stunning and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room had a spacious balcony, which was a great bonus. They even arranged an airport transfer for us, which made everything so convenient. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

if you’re looking for something off the beaten track that’s low key but nice this is the place for you. as there are few rooms the supper was chosen in advance by the cook and was delicious. very special. the manager, Robinson, is very attentive and wants you to have a lovely time. the lake views are lovely. if you want international hotel this isn’t for you. if you want something lovely with a local feel this is it.

Due to the long weekend, north cliff and north-side beaches were hopelessly crowded. But the south cliff was really peaceful and soothing to walk around and the beaches were cleaner. Kayaking at the Mangroves is a must, some of the prettiest scenery in the area.

What I liked most was the view from my balcony looking out to the sea. A room without a view would not be so agreeable. The grounds were beautiful with lovely tropical flowers and plants. There is an agreeable open air area for meals and breakfast. The breakfast was cooked to order. One day I had English breakfast and one day banana pancakes. The employees are helpful and agreeable. The pool area is also nice.

Very nice coast, it’s possible to walk for kilometres along the coast. It’s quite turistic but mainly locals so it doesn’t bother too much. It’s possible to get into the sea only in very few places but I wouldn’t recommend it. The town has lots of markets, bakeries and restaurants. There are several yoga studios along the coast.

It is a beautiful place with plenty of beaches, greenery, small town shops, water sports and the most beautiful mangroves. There are also nice places like the Jatayu Park and the Shri Narayana Guru Samadhi and ancient temples that are a treat to visit.

Beautiful views worth seeing.

Beautiful views worth seeing. However most visitors are rowdy which affects the comfort of people seeking a more down to earth experience. Restaurants often out price locals and cater to Western tastes; they seek a specific type of well put together, middle or upper class traveller. Monsoon season is likely a more relaxing time to be here with less rowdy visitors from out of town/state. Little cleanup efforts for the beaches. Bad sanitation and waste control. Waste burning unfortunately normalised.

Lovely atmosphere where you feel immediately at home. Many nice activities to meet new people like dinners together, yoga classes, games. The managers are very welcoming and helpful. The female dorm has AC and it’s very clean. The location is perfect, 5 mins from the main beach and the north cliff where you have plenty of bars and restaurants. I loved my stay here and I can’t wait to come back. I totally recommend it to any backpacker passing by Varkala looking for meaningful connections.
