Heavenly Homestay

Patrick and Mary were wonderful hosts! Communication before the stay was vey easy and they arranged the airport pickup for me. Patrick was very helpful with any information I needed, including booking a ticket to a Katakhali introduction, which I enjoyed. I was also allowed to walk my clothes on the rooftop. The hostel is in a quiet side street and a 10 minute walk from the historic center. The room was clean with everything I needed, including a friendly dog napping outside. Last but not least, Mary cooks excellent Kerala style breakfast that I enjoyed sharing with other guests while discussing the adventures of the day. I highly recommend it and will come back if I return to Kochi one day.

The garden was very beautiful and well maintained. The cats here were friendly, and the room seemed well maintained. However, the air conditioner was not cool, and the refrigerator was usable, but it looked like it needed cleaning. Mr. and Mrs. Patrick and Mary and his family were all very kind. a good experience.

If you are coming to Fort Cochi then this is a wonderful place to stay. Patrick and Mary are so kind and helpful. The first floor room has A/C and a fan. A small balcony as well as an outside seating area. The bathroom is modern with lots of hot water, toiletries and little touches. The roof terrace has a washing machine and lines that are so useful and surprisingly no extra cost to do your washing. The daily breakfast cooked by Mary is varied and tasty. We loved staying here! The bed is super comfortable and wifi is excellent . The Tuk Tuk tour Patrick arranged is brilliant if you are new to the area, otherwise everything is in walking distance.

My husband, son, I and a friend stayed 2 nights there. It is a wondeful place to stay: the owners are very kind and we feel at home. The rooms have all the facilities: air conditioning, WC, air drier, one fan on the celing and everything is very clean. The house has a beautiful garden that reminds me my childhood in Africa! We had the breakfast at the dining room of the house. It was very good. The next time we will go to Fort Kochi, we will go there again, certainly.

We had a fabulous week at this home stay it’s in a very good location, close to everything and yet still peaceful. The room was very clean with ac, shower , balcony, lots of power outlets, a fridge. Mary is a super cook and provides wonderful new things to eat each day. Both Patric and Mary are super helpful full of useful information, and assistance with travel.

The homestay is situated in a chilled out location in Fort Kochi and is very accessible for sightseeing, dining, recreation and generally getting around. The building is well maintained, surrounded by trees and plants. The rooms are very clean and come with many amenities such as WIFI, fridge, TV etc. The bathroom are cleaned every day too. Overall hygiene was well taken care of. The highlight for me was the terrace...gorgeous, filled with beautiful potted plants creating a laid back atmosphere which I would enjoy most evenings. There were also a lot of birds singing around in the morning as the building in engulfed in trees....great start to my mornings. Also, there were some cute and friendly pet cats about too. Great spot for nature lovers. The breakfast was complimentary and I was very happy with the quality of the food we were served. I preferred the South Indian Kerala styled breakfast. However, one can request for other breakfast options too; the hosts are flexible to accommodate your choice. The hosts - Patrick and Mary were very gracious and welcoming. They were available to us for any query that we had. They even went out of their way to help me source some authentic, local and home-made wine and pickles, which I definitely would not have found on my own. I am glad that I found this homestay as it enhanced my vacation while also being budget friendly. It was sincerely the best hospitality experience that I have had in a homestay till date. Highly recommend it to anybody visiting Fort Kochi. Steves.
