I stayed at West Wind homestay for 3 nights in December. I was travelling in Kerala on my own until my husband arrived 2 weeks later, and was delighted to stay here. Jojo Paul and Gladys made me feel really at home. You could spend hours lying in the hammock at the end of the garden watching the backwaters floating by, it was so relaxing... The food i was served was some of the best i ate in Kerala, carefully prepared (and huge quantities!) of local dishes, especially the breakfasts - delicious. they arranged a boat trip on a small fishing boat one evening, which was incredible, watching the sunset over the backwaters was very memorable. Jojo Paul also took me on a tour of the village which was brilliant, seeing the fishermen at work, the rice paddies, as well as the local churches and temples... But the main thing were the hosts who were so kind and lovely - a real family atmosphere.

extremely well located, tucked away from the busy city life.
It is like a birds nest, carefully made with love and affection, yet consciously placed inside a safe hidden enclosure.
Jojo the charming and caring host, will arrange every thing for you.
He will take you to fish farms, beach, local churches.... He even guided us to a lovely place for lunch, a wonderful massage, a dream boat ride fishing with a local fisher man at night....
And offcourse the lovely dinner he prepared for us.

I and my wife and two friends stayed over night at Jojo Paul's relaxing home with water front, just a short way outside Kochi. Resting on hammocks watching the sun go down. Jojo was a delightful and helpful host who fed us well with delicious local food.

Me and wife stayed here for three nights. This place is bang on the back waters with a great view. This place is peaceful and ideally located. Far from the bustle of Cochin yet close enough to most places of tourist interest. Kumbalangy island has a wonderful beach which in unspoiled and with very few people.

However what stands out in this home stay is the warmth of the host ( Mr Jojo Paul ) and his wife. Mr Paul takes personal interest in your trip. He is a great guide and a general nice guy. He took great care of us while we were at West Wind Homez.
