Explore Fort Kochi After You Check Into This Heritage Homestay With A Swimming Pool

Secret Garden is a century-old ancestral property  in Fort Kochi with a pool, garden and verandahs - perfect for a low-key holiday.

On your next holiday to Fort Kochi, stay close to the town centre but also away from the tourist hustle, at Secret Garden. True to its name, the homestay in Fort Kochi is hidden away in the maze-like bylanes of the old town and yet it's five minutes away from Fort Kochi Beach and a short cycle ride away from Jew Town. More than that, it's the beauty of the ancestral Kerala bungalow with its terracotta tiled roofs, large windows, and wooden ceilings that you will fall in love with. Outside, it's the front verandah that's our favourite spot. You have a spacious garden to laze away and a swimming pool to flaunt your swimsuit.

Of the nine rooms inside, it's the family suite that has us gushing. For INR 7,400, you get a four-poster bed, hand-painted mural on the wall, terrace and pool view. What a view to wake up to! If you are travelling solo, they have a single room with a mini verandah and pool view. It's INR 4,500 off season. Couples, we haven't forgotten you. The spacious romantic suite with carved four-poster bed, vaulted ceilings, balcony and garden view is yours for INR 7,400. No matter the room, it comes with complimentary breakfast.  Lunch and dinner are available at a small fee. Think seafood specialities and beef and parotta!
