We absolutely loved staying at Our Land. It was totally unique. Comfortable roomy room with lovely cool a/c for an extremely comfortable sleep, quiet, the food absolutely divine...with everything laid on But...we were constantly quizzed as to how we thought about it... Really hard to explain but we almost felt as though we needed to hold up score cards for... More

Only stayed one night on 12 March 2012 wish it could have been longer in order to explore the area as bycicles were provided, think that would have been great fun. Lovely cottage, very clean and food excellent. Hosts were extremely welcoming.

I stayed at Our Land with my husband and two teenagers for five nights and relaxed like never before! The setting, overlooking the back waters, takes your breath away and you do not cease to be enchanted with it on waking each morning. Ratheesh and his staff are considerate to your needs and feed you huge portions of delicious curries... More

Our Land was extremely serene resort experience -- with a very friendly staff. We had a nice time in a clean, calm bungalow. The food was excellent and plentiful (kerala specialities including fried fish, roasted beet salad). It's a great place if you've been on the road and you want a day to rest, clean up, and rejuvenate. One thing... More

Lovely and relaxing with a great arrival by canoe. The little excursions (walks, bike rides) were very enjoyable. Food amazing, possibly the best in India. Management very concerned about money - did not profer any change. They offer an overnight boat service, but don't use them as it could be dirty and overpriced. Instead book your own. But it's a...

We spent three wonderful days at our land island. Friendly staff, excellent food in a wonderful setting. Rateesh and his team took really good care of us. It is a good place to relax and get away from Indias hustle and bustle for a while. We would have loved to stay longer.

We were made to feel so welcome at Our Land. The perfect place to while away a couple of days watching the world pass you by on the backwaters. Great food and people. A real gem!
