What Makes It Awesome
It's the perfect holiday home with six cottages with private balconies to choose from. Choose the ones that face Om Beach, which is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the property, and come evenings you can get a solid view of the sun setting. And on a good day, dolphins swimming about. Plus, the cottages are well-spaced, meaning you can get as much privacy as you please. Rooms start at an easy INR 700 off-season and come with WiFi facilities.
Since the beach is nearby, do some morning beach yoga or evening go for a run. Nothing like feeling that salty wind in your face, right? Kudle Beach is a short walk from here and that's where most cafes and restaurants are. The homestay's own cafe is a hotspot to meet travellers and backpackers. You can take a ferry to Half-Moon and Paradise Beach if you want to catch the sunset up close.
Pro Tip
The ferry folks will try to ask for exorbitant charges, so be sure to haggle as much as you can. Else, it's INR 800 gone for what's a 15-minutes ferry ride.
