Though nature has blessed the place with a very nice backwater canal which can be rated as excellent, the retreat's rooms are between average and good. For a family of four, rooms are not very spacious. Before taking up any room, please have a look of all the rooms as the rooms are not of uniform size and similar interiors...... More

We chose the backwater retreat based on the reviews at Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The place has an old world rustic charm to it and is situated right on the backwaters. The balcony outside the room allows you to take in the best that nature has to give. From lazy boats floating down the backwaters to Kingfishers darting... More

In my opinion, this place is good for people with access to dedicated hired vehicle as the location is about 12 kms from Kumarkom jetty which is... More
