The houseboat itself was inspired by old houseboat designs but was quite modern and very comfortable. The staff were excellent with the cook preparing lavish feasts for us - food was exceptional! They even had binoculars for bird watching - something I didn't know I would enjoy so much. Absolutely unforgettable experience.
Located in Alleppey, Why Not Houseboat offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay.

The experience far exceeded our expectations - it was simply incredible. We met our crew on arrival (captain, two chefs and service provider), all of who were lovely. The boat itself was only 5 days old and very luxurious, from the dining room, to the bathrooms and bedrooms. What truly makes this boat special though, and sets it apart from other house boats, is the unique top deck. The top deck had comfy furniture and areas to sit in the sun or in the shade. The design allows the airflow to keep you cool as the boat sailed.
We opted for 3 days, 2 nights and were glad we did so. This allowed us to sail down quieter backwaters on the second day and to see local life as we went past (most house boats that do just one night take the same busy route).
The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful, much of it Keralan cuisine.
You won't regret booking with Why Not, we considered it excellent value and a truly special experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend.

The houseboat was amazing and and it was a pleasant and wonderful journey.
We had the trip of our life with Xandari. The captain Sony, Chief cook Sanjith and kannan make us feel like kings. We bought shrimps on the way, enjoyed a shirodhara massage and had a very relaxing peaceful trip.
We will come back.
10 stars for the food! It was the best food we had.

We did not stay in the houseboat but in the homestay and did a tour with Jose on the backwaters. Room was good value for money and the hosts are friendly and very helpful, making time to find out bus timings or just have a chat. We did the morning countryboat and houseboat tour and everything was well organized and the crew very friendly. Because the tour is in the early morning, it feels like you have the backwaters to yourself and not sharing it with other tourists!

We loved our 2 night cruise on Thara’s Houseboat. There are only 2 cabins on the houseboat and 3 staff on board, so it felt a really intimate, private experience on a beautiful wooden heritage boat. The food was incredible, some gorgeous fish and vegetarian dishes and tasty afternoon snacks. We had a relaxing and peaceful 2 day cruise around the Kerala backwaters and then we were dropped back off in Alleppey. The boat was stunning and a really cool experience - we would definitely recommend this boat over one of the bigger, more commercial houseboats.
Special thanks to Saji (chef on night 1), Roy (chef on night 2), Sanu and Jayabalan for making our stay so special. The staff were all amazing and wanted the guests to enjoy their stays.

Houseboat staff were lovely and food was delicious. Our houseboat had an open area so there were many mozzies during dinner. Rooms were quite old and run down. We had lizards crawling around the room. The ship docked near a rice field at night so there were plenty of mozzies. Anti Malaria and Mozzie repellent is very strongly recommended.

Really good value. Food was brilliant and plentiful and lots of activities to do while on the boat - sunrise kayaking was brilliant (externally with minimal additional charge). Clean rooms and the setting is beautiful.

Before Booking please check the meals are included or not. I come to know before check in only and it’s additional price for each member.
Get out on the water (without ever leaving the dock!) on a commercial boat. Guests have access to a partial or entire boat, yacht or houseboat, which will remain docked throughout the stay. Meals and additional services may be available -- a nautical getaway awaits.

Breakfast was very good and the location is fantabulous. The best property I would rate in Aleppy.
We had a great experience in Tharas houseboat it was a wonderful time with Tharas team, food was amazing so many dishes had, every one must try Tharas houseboat.Thank you Tharas team we will visit again.
The location was great, close to the backwaters and where the houseboats dock. The owners and staff etc were so welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. They helped us book a houseboat stay at a good price which was great. The breakfast was yummy and loads of food! Free tea and coffee all day. Room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Nice houseboat trip in Alleppey, food quality was amazing we could enjoy plenty of dishes , room was so beautiful aircondition was super working , crew was very friendly and energetic, really we enjoyed we recommend for everyone.Thank you so much Thara’s Houseboat Team.
Tried to accommodate needs of western family - one not spicy dish especially for us at dinner. Good value - one of the cheapest house boats we found and was still good. Provided a little more a/c than was promised. Fairly clean. A good trip. Optional extras like short canoe trip to village available. Helped with onward plans - kayaking.
Not too much detail here, as arrived late afternoon and departed for a houseboat stay the next morning. We saw on here that people felt that the short canoe ride required to get to the property was a negative, but it added fun to the trip for us. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast delivered to our veranda outside room was ample. Room wasn't huge, but worked for the one night we needed it for. Lovely spot on the river.
Thank you for making the houseboat stay so comfortable.Not even once we felt scared as we had booked single room boat.Also the boat was very neat and clean. Meals served were simple yet so delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Special thanks to our helpful and polite crew members and coordinator Jose & Rakesh for the houseboat.
Comfortable, spacious and quiet rooms with everything working as intended (good A/C etc). Staff were v helpful and friendly! Also offer houseboat stays
We had great time, the houseboat was super clean and comfortable upper deck main highlight of the house boat, staff Vijay, babu,kochu super food was very great and so many new things to taste great job team of whynot
