The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

The room was extremely clean, and newly decorated. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, including filtered drinking water, hot shower, WiFi, even a washing machine you can use and space on the roof terrace to hang clothes to dry. The location is a local neighbourhood where you see real Indian Village life on the doorstep, lots of food options closeby, and the beach is less than 5 minutes walking. The owners are super friendly, respond quickly to communication, and go out of their way to help you always with a smile. Thank you so much!

The location is decent and the home is beautiful. It was even bigger and more spacious than I thought it would be. Of course, the best thing about this home is that it is a home. Mani, the host of the home is *always* available for help with anything, even by phone. He helped us with recommendations of where to go, organised tuk tuks to come and pick us up further in town, and generally is a friendly face you will see at least once a day if not more. The rooms are super stylish and comfortable. There is a lot of ventilation and AC which helps keep it cool in the home. On top of that, there is wildlife around - a frog even ventured into our room at one point (but it rest assured, it was very friendly and kept it's distance).

    Our host, Mani, was superb! He was so welcoming, kind and generous with his time and helped to organise taxis for us. The area was spacious and we felt very comfortable. We would recommend staying here. It was a nice quiet and safe area, with only the sounds of wildlife at night-time.
