Flying into Kochin from Europe brings with it the overwhelming image of India, arriving at Philipkutty's Farm by barge and greeted with a cold home made ginger drink in the tranquil surroundings sets the scene for a magical stay. The family run home-stay is personal but not invasive. The food cooked by Mummy and Anu is the best I had... More

This is a fairly isolated place in the Backwaters of Kerala which is reasonably accessible. It has all the conveniences including a decent WiFi and good food. A great place to veg out. There is more separation from people than is usual in India. More

If you want perect peace and perfect relaxation this is the place. Anu and Mummy make you feel as though you are at home and the food is just like your mother used to make but with that Kerala twist. Each bungalow is perfectly siuated on the edge of the water and is superbly appointed. Do take the afternoon walk... More

The approach road leading to the little ferry pier for Philipkutty's Farm is a little disconcerting but having been ferried to the island one is soothed into luxurious calm. The warm and friendly greeting was a mark of what was to follow. Our delightful cottage, close to the backwater, was well appointed very comfortable. Meals are taken at a round... More
