Established more than two centuries ago in 1794 by the Great Great Grandfather of Bhagwaldas—the owner of this property—this palatial Kerala property comes with sprawling well-tended lawns, elegant verandas, and an ethereal lake that is nestled amidst pristine tropical groves and adjoins the lawns. Featuring rustic moulded steps that lead in to various parts of the home, this homestay’s interiors are a classic exhibition of traditional Kerala architecture and native craftsmanship. Floored in exquisite Athangudi tiles in myriad shades of earth, the teak-columned verandas feature wide platforms that are decked with mattresses and cushions and provide a comfortable place for relaxing with your entire group over endless cups of steaming chai. If you are on a romantic getaway, take a lazy stroll in the lush green lawns or simply lie sprawled on the grass beside the gorgeous lake and enjoy the lovely monsoon weather.
Surrounded by rich garden palms, the dining hall creates a calm ambience for relishing meals. Sheltered under a rustic exposed wooden beam ceiling, this six-bedroom accommodation boasts well-appointed rooms and modern bathroom amenities. The master bedroom has a well-stuffed four-poster bed for snuggling up to and a spacious hewn-wood wardrobe for organising your entire luggage. There are basic and twin accommodations as well. The en suite bathrooms, although compact, feature a glass-panelled bath enclosure and well-tiled interiors in Athangudi.
With sprawling lawns and a gorgeous backdrop of the pristine lake, this property provides the perfect setting for a destination wedding. Whether you wish to take the proverbial ‘pheras’ under our heritage pandals or vow your endless love to each other under a dreamy lakeside marquee, we’ll roll it out for you—right from pre-wedding rituals to the wedding ceremony to the attire, décor, entertainment, and accommodations for the wedding party.
All the rooms are well furnished and well designed interior, each of the rooms are provided with all basic amenities to meet the needs of the guest.
