From my initial enquiry and throughout our stay and return from our holiday Mr George was in regular contact ensuring everything was satisfactory and that we where enjoying our stay at his property. The house manager was brilliant. We had a cancelled flight (24 hrs.) consequently missed connection, so two flights later arrived at Trivandrum, only to discover that our luggage wasn't there, and ground staff unhelpful and vague. Amazingly the house manager got our luggage to us within 6 hours of arriving, and throughout our stay he organised two trips for us promptly and well done.
The property is a 10 minute walk from Samudra beach, which is quiet with some good restaurants. In the opposite direction a 40 minute walk will take you to Lighthouse Beach with is full of wonderful restaurants and much busier but lovely also. On our return journey we would get a tuk-tuk for £1!
The property is well furnished, two large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, which was very convenient. Air conditioning which we didn't use, but we did use the overhead fans.
Spacious kitchen, which I didn't cook in as we are out all the time, but all amenities there should you choose to.
As a family with two teenage children we all loved this location and would recommend to all. We went to the backwaters (Alleppey) staying on a house boat for 24 hours, this was pricey but well worth it. We also visited a nearby elephant rehabilitation centre, where you can have a short ride on an elephant.
The only draw back was the occasional Huntsman spider which did spook me and my daughter, but thankfully these appeared at the end of our stay!
Mr George, the house manager and our driver where very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
We had our best family holiday yet.
