The view from our balcony
Heavenly Homestay is aptly named. Patrick and his wife are a very welcoming friendly couple. You are made to feel at home, in their home. They have 2 rooms in their homestay - one inside the main house and one upstairs that is an extension built on the roof and has its own entrance. Patrick used to work in the hotel trade which is reflected by the decor of the room. The decor is certainly not indicative of a typical Indian family home. Breakfast is served in the dining room in the main house. Here the decor is more in keeping with an Indian family home and is lovely and cosy. The breakfast that he served could have fed 8 people instead of 2. We went down to breakfast on the first morning and the table was laid with a plate full of toast, butter, jams, eggs, various fruits, freshly squeezed pure pineapple juice (no added water, just pure pineapple), tea and coffee. As if that wasn't enough there was also a full Kerelan breakfast , which was different every day - dhal and rice, masala dosa, idly etc. You were also offered tea and coffee throughout the day if you were sitting on their downstairs balcony using the WIFI, despite our room having tea and coffee making facilities and even a fridge stocked with bottled water. Patrick was great at recommending places to see and eat and his recommendations were always spot on. Actually when we first arrived Colin asked Patrick where the nearest barber's was to get a shave. Not only did he take him there on the back of his motorbike but he took the long way there so he could point out places of interest that we could then walk to. It really was 5 star treatment and accommodation at budget travellers prices! click here for the link to Heavenly Homestay website Heavenly Homestay
