In a pandemic filled world, if one wants the security (almost of one’s home), Nayana’s house and the two bedrooms she lets out warmly recommends itself. Very clean, comfortable and unpretentious, the house is a haven of peace. Nayana is a great host: warm, friendly and helpful; and her cook, Maku, makes fabulous Spanish omelettes!

Spent a relaxed weekend at Nayana’s recently. Very cosy and warm home with art and nature spread all around! Though we ate out, had good breakfasts and a dinner dished by Nayana and her caretaker Maku. The rooftop is ideal for an evening binge over local delicacies! Look forward to stay in the winters.

Chota Kuthi is a home away from home. You can unwind undisturbed & just enjoy getting away from the everyday drill of city life. If you're keen on visiting nearby places for a little shopping or want to visit the University museum & some interesting eateries, the ever helpful host, Nayana, can suggest some of the best places suited to your interests & advise you on the best times to visit, routes, transport options etc. In Chota Kuthi, you feel the personal touch & warmth in every room. The rooms are spotless, the meals are excellent & the staff is efficient & discreet. The ample lawn houses a number of interesting flowering plants & trees & is ideal for an evening walk. The open terraces are great for tea time in the evenings. You'll never get bored during your stay. There are a number of antiques & artefacts from Nayana's travels across the world each of which have a story to tell. And there are some breathtaking works of art & historic photographs that adorn the walls of the home. What I like most are the airy front & rear verandas of the house which are ideal places to relax & take in nature in its entirety. It is this blend of a home away from home in a very natural setting that keeps drawing me back to Nayana's Homestay!
