We discovered this gem of a place from Stanley Wilson of Wilson Tours in Fort Cochin. It's probably what everyone dreams of when they imagine the Kerala Backwaters - peaceful, tranquil and outstandingly beautiful. it's located mid way between Kochi and Alleppey in a small town called Thiravoor which is not on the tourist trail. They have two houseboats which... More

On our way to BWFH from Kumily, we stopped in Alleppey for lunch and to take a country boat through the canals. It was nice but very busy and crowded with house boats all over the place. When we finally got to BWFH, we realized right away what a great decision it was to stay here. This place is tucked... More

Back Water Farm House is a resort that surprises you right from its approach road. Tucked away in a place where even google maps could not get a satellite image, this place charms you from the moment you step in to their bounday walls. With just 5 cottages, all absolutely clean and large and airy, and the backwaters right at... More

We booked our trip here through Stanley Wilson travel agency in Kochin - unfortunately we were given the room that was attached to part of the family home, so were awakened at night when the family arrived home and turned on the light and made quite a bit of noise - the light shone right into our room because the...

The Back Waters farmhouse is an incredibly peaceful place. Especially compared with the north of India, sitting on the deck chairs and staring out at the water is a fantastic respite. Staying here is very nice, but you need to be okay with not doing much, having long stretches between food, and being okay with ants/bugs and dirt. We went... More

Highly recommend, every time I think of going on holiday I just want to go back here. It is paradise. It's an amazing tranquil paradise, with tasty fresh home cooked food, welcoming family (who speak English) and have cool pets. Room was excellent too. We stayed here for ages! Wish it could have been longer

Came here for a houseboat trip with an overnight stay on the boat. Lovely place in the middle of nowhere. Boats are non motorised with two boatmen and a cook on the boat. NO AC. Very friendly people and great Kerala food. Had a lovely time on the boat. Perfectly relaxed and the only boat with tourists on the backwaters.... More

Thank you for making our stay in the backwaters so nice. I was expecting the noise of hundreds perfect location with of boats constantly surrounding us here. This was not the case. So tranquil, and the place does not at all feel spoilt by other tourists yet. We were fed extremely well and all of our requests for other boat... More

Nice place, very peaceful and beautiful bed rooms (and quiet!). The food is wonderful, and all the family is really kind. Just in front of each cottage we can see the — wild and luxurious — backwaters. The most beatiful must be the sunset, when everything become orange and red... I recommend it, and hope to come back one of... More
