Privacy is
another wonderful private hideaway that has been developed
by the owner of Malabar House in Fort Kochi. The stylish
2-bedroom bungalow looks out over the serene Lake Vembanad.
The property is only rented to one party at a time, even
if you are taking just one room. Ideal for families; although
vigilance is required if the children cannot swim. |

is an interesting property built on a seven-acre lakeside
estate in Kumarakom. The 40 stilted wooden cottages are

Aquaserene
has an unusual but impressive location. Its traditional-style
cottages, many of which have direct lake views, have relatively
basic interiors. They are spacious and clean but the interior
décor is not inspiring. However, the wide balconies
are splendid and the open-air bathrooms are excellent. |

Taj Garden
Retreat is a refurbished 124-year-old colonial mansion
called 'Baker's Bungalow'. With azure backwaters, swaying
palms and floating houseboats it's not difficult to understand
why English Missionary Henry Baker acquired the land and
built his home here. |
