Recently renovated, the property is excellent value. The location is also great, backing onto a canal and within a short walk of the main shops, but far enough away to have peace and quiet. The host Robin is amazing, and always keen to help with whatever you need.

The perfect getaway in the Munroe island backwaters. The family is just amazing and the kayak and canoe trip were incredible. The food was really good as well. We highly recommend to stay with Vijeesh and his family.

Very spacious, clean & pleasant house. One of the nicest homestay we've had during our month in India. We where the only guest at that time so had the whole house for ourselves. The housekeeper is so friendly and tries to give you the best time. Breakfast is also amazing!

This homestay is clean and comfortable with an uplifting and quirky vibe. Johnson is a lovely host who clearly really cares about the environment. He was kind enough to drive us to a restaurant he recommended and offered to pick us up due to the heavy rain! The price is very reasonable and the other staff members are nice. We felt very looked after.

Thomas and his wife were great hosts that care a lot about their homestay and their guest. We also really enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony, the cleanliness of the room and the homemade breakfasts. Thomas also organized some trips and a massage for us, so we were able to experience a lot. Thank you!

The Homestay is in a quiet area, near the Cliff. The room is clean and spacious. The staff is welcoming and kind. Roshan is a great host, always available to help you. Nearby is the other Homestay S4, where they provide food and have a beautiful relaxing area at the roof...with ping pong, yogamats etc, where you can freely use it

Gerard and his wife were great hosts. We arrived early in the morning, around 5am, and they were able to provide us with check in at that time, which was great. The homestay is very clean with comfortable beds.

Our stay at this charming home stay was truly fantastic! The family who owns it exuded warmth and hospitality throughout our visit. The rates were reasonable, and the meals were not only delicious but also meticulously prepared. The serene surroundings added to the overall tranquility, making it the perfect retreat to unwind. Without a doubt, we will eagerly return if we find ourselves in the area again. A heartfelt thank you to Coconut Palms Village Homestay for an unforgettable experience."

The most lovely family run this beautiful homestay. Ours hosts could not have been more helpful: they booked a kathakali show for us, organised a taxi to Munnar, helped to change money. The facilities are typical of a home stay but maintained to a very high standard. It is very clean and comfortable. Consistent hot water. Good WiFi. In a safe area. We would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a simple, great value option.
