Stayed with my family here for 3 days, 2 nights package. Mr Kurien was very helpful in guiding us to the places to visit in Kumarakon & places to visit via my drive back to Bangalore.

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

I stayed with my wife for two nights at this property after reading TripAdvisor reviews. Our overall experience was good - even though the accommodation was average, hosts were very warm and helpful. 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
