This beachfront property offers access to a balcony. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

The only thing I can think about this place is why I didn’t stay longer! Ajay has built this beautiful house, 22 years ago, immersed in colors, patterns and lots of flowers. The place is very quiet and special, perfect to wind down your mind. The breakfast is the best I’ve had in India so far, I’ll be dreaming about that bowl of fruits for a very long time. The staff serving the breakfast was so kind and smiled so much that your morning would get immediately better. The location is perfect, far enough from the buzz of the North Cliff, and less than 5 minutes on foot from the beach.

Offering a garden and garden view, K V Wooden Homestay is located in Varkala, less than 1 km from Varkala Beach and a 13-minute walk from Odayam Beach. This holiday home offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

This residence was like a beautiful and comfortable wooden cabin in the middle of a forest and we fell in love with everything about it. A very loving, kind, understanding and intelligent lady and gentleman run this residence. We arrived at the villa around 21:30 and they welcomed us warmly and kindly. Everything in the room was prepared for our comfort and convenience. The AC was already on and the room was cool as heaven. Cold water was ready in the fridge. There were enough cooking facilities in the room. The drinking water inside the bottle was charged twice. The villa is located in a great location and you can walk to the beach, cliff and some beautiful temples in a few minutes. Right next to the villa is a grocery and fruit and vegetable shop where you can easily buy any type of food you need. Although the owners of the accommodation had a new reservation on the day of our check-out, they allowed us to check-out later. After check-out, they showed the utmost humanity, understanding and wisdom and without us asking them, they offered us to rest in one of the rooms of their house for a few hours due to the hot weather. I recommend you book this beautiful villa without any doubt and with confidence.

    Staff were very courteous and kind, always assisting with our needs. The breakfast served in the morning was amazing, a nice spread,with a perfect view of the waves. The rooms were cozy and spacious, everything was neat and provided a relaxing stay. The best thing was the Beachfront villas with hammocks and plenty of places to explore. Guests were treated with the utmost respect.

    Our stay at Cascara was absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect for getting to all of the best spots along the cliff. Breakfast was delicious and different every day, courtesy of Raji. The place is kept super clean and the rooms are comfortable, in particular the deluxe villa, which we never wanted to leave. But what makes this stay especially special was the fabulous host Saji. No ask was too much trouble and we were given great recommendations. And we left with a new friend. We highly recommend staying at Cascara!
