My husband and I spent a month at Jasmine Cottage while we were practicing with our yoga teacher at a space down by the beach. We had the most lovely and easy time at Jasmine. Traveling in India can be tough, and finding comfortable, Western-style accommodations is even harder - but not at Jasmine Cottage. It's such an oasis and... More

And its still there !!! And it's still as nice !!! But this time instead of the 2 weeks I had 17 nights. I go with the intentions of getting around a bit but once I'm at the cottage I seem to just want to hang about in the local area because it's so relaxing. But I did manage a... More

Jasmine Cottage is a little oasis of peace and charm tucked away amongst the coconut trees. Its delightful hosts Sue and Paul offer a unique experience of local knowledge and long cycle rides to the lake or walks over the hill to the Lighthouse for those who are feeling energetic. Otherwise Lesley in his ever available Auto will take you... More

Thank you to Susan and Paul for making us so welcome at Jasmine Cottage. What a wonderful place to stay! A stone`s throw from the hustle and bustle of Kovalum`s beach areas, Jasmine Cottage is a peaceful haven. We enjoyed hearing the stories of how the cottage was planned and constructed; the furnishings and finishing touches make it so comfortable.... More

We stayed at Jasmine Cottage last week for 2 nights and we had a very pleasant but unfortunately too short stay. Sue and Paul are excellent hosts and make you feel completely at home! They explained us a lot of things about the region and the traditions of Kerala and India (such as hindus festivals). And they prepared excellent breakfast!... More
