A recently renovated guest house in Varkala and within 300 metres of Odayam Beach, Magnolia Guesthouse Varkala features pool with a view, comfortable allergy-free rooms and free WiFi.

We loved the feel of the stay - friendly, warm, comfortable. The staff were very welcoming. The site is beautiful with a lovely warm pool and the beach a stones throw away. Rooms were spacious and the bed incredibly comfortable. Food was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. I would love to return!
