The property is very well maintained. The solo man caretaker seth does a fantastic job. He helps all around, suggests what is best for the types one needs. The tea is worth a mention. The rooms and facilities are perfect. He also takes on a boat ride which is *the* attraction. The backwater beauty is worth capturing. Over all a very very happy holiday though monroe islands is best to rest. Most of the happening places are quite far from here. Even food options are limited. One should come with own transport. We took rickshaw the drivers were helpful too, we went to varkala and kollam for super food thatakada and massages
