The only thing is the food options. Since it is a bit far away from restaurants there were only one meny available, food was ok nothing special.

We had an amazing stay at Noah's Nest Tree House. The hosts are lovely and helped us with everything, especially booking a great tour in Gavi, where we could see elephants, monkeys and waterfalls. We are very satisfied with the room and the view is even better in real life. We also went kayaking in their river, lovely experience.

The road was a little difficult but fine.

Such a beautiful outlook over the river. Comfortable room, and very peaceful and quiet location. The caretaker was very helpful.

Beware that if you take the houseboat, which you should, it's a long way down the steps and back up with your bags. Also you're in the jungle so expect lots of night time critter activity - outside hopefully!

Jungle treehouse and houseboat. We swam in the river which was safe (as far as we knew!). Rooms are all pretty basic but clean and the bucket showers are excellent. We stayed in the beached boat which was romantic, but a steep climb down. Bats whack the roof at night. You will sleep better when you know this. Breakfast is good but basic. You can easily order food and drink from a local restaurant, which was very good indeed - but beware over ordering as we did! Lovely walk in the neighbouring tea plantation. Book any Periyar park tours - half hour drive away - as early as possible in person at the Ecotourism centre in Thekkady. Website won't let you complete bookings and places are limited. We took the half day trek and rafting which was excellent. Thanks to Ganesh who looked after us nicely and booked everything.

All in one it was a very pleasant stay, Ganesh, the caretaker was always helpful, the breakfast was beautiful and the surroundings so beautiful.

We needed to go out every time for food. As we had a car, it was not a big drama. We could order food but it cost a fortune (3 - 4 times more than restaurants).

We got the best room with the lake/ river view. Amazing view from my bed. I have canceled all my programs and enjoyed the view in whole day. The owners and workers are lovely people.

Fab stay in a remote location by the water! Nice and quiet, hosts were great. Would come back to stay longer if given the chance

It was a bit challenge to get hot water running in the bathroom and obviously all the amenities are a bit simpler, but why not. :) Expect possible animal encounter as I found quite a big spider behind by suitcase in the morning. :D Fortunately didn't take him with me.

We have stayed only for one night but it was interesting experience. We loved the fact that we are in the middle of nature, just watching the trees and birds and otherwise silent and calm As we came in the evening, the caretaker even went to a restaurant nearby and brought us dinner. The road to get there by car was a bit challenging and it's good to have smaller luggages or backpack as they need to be carried up and down stairs.

Great location, definitely back to nature as few places can be. Very smooth communication with Philip the owner. And special thanks to caretaker Ganeshan for all his help and for the kitchen staff for delicious breakfast and dinner.

The hanging bridge to go to reception and dinner moves quite a lot and the handlers on the sides have some metallic spikes which may hurt if you grab them looking for balance

The idea of the tree house is very cool and it really feels like you're in the middle of the forest. There's also a hanging bridge to go for breakfast which makes the experience more adventurous, and I could record some nice shots with the drone.

We haven't taken the breakfast, but in the room it's mentioned only a bread and iam for the breakfast. Its very disappointed.

The location of the tree house is very beautiful and amazing. We would like to stay again during the winter also. Very good caretaker. It was a very pleasant stay.

Absolutely nothing!

The setting is beautiful, up in the trees on a hill overlook the river below. The family who own the property are just lovely ! So welcoming. The food was good and the dining area has a fabulous view as do all of the tree houses.The caretaker was informative, attentive and helpful and our room was clean and comfortable, if you like birds it's a paradise. I will certainly return.

• Wifi is very long to connect to (it took 20 minutes for the first device to get internet access, 60 minutes for the second). For some reason, iPhones cannot access the internet on the local network. 4G is okay.

• Incredible location with terrific views. • Everything is so cool: access to the restaurant area is through a suspended wooden bridge, the tree houses are far enough from each other to offer privacy, the boat house adds to the uniqueness of the location, the restaurant has an old colonial lounge style and is fitted with a pool… • Cool lighting at night, making the place safe but still wild. • Easy walking & hiking paths straight from accommodation. • Good local traditional food offered on site.

Not a bad thing, but good to know; the guesthouse is +/- 40 minutes away from the Periyar national park. You can take a tuktuk to the busstand and take a bus to Kumily or go directly by tuktuk.

This property was really unique and I was very happy to have spent 3 nights here, 2 nights in the houseboat and 1 night in the treehouse. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse because of its authenticity, views and great food. The owner and caretakers also were very helpful in arranging activities and driving me to the bus station with the tuktuk.

Amazing, magical place! Beautiful surroundings. We swam in the river and went kayaking. Looked at the colourful birds. But the biggest joy was meeting Ghanesh, the caretaker, he is funny, helpful and there is not one thing that Ghanesh cannot arrange for you. We highly recommend the place.

n/a - everything was great!

We stayed in the boat house, and it was by far the most special and memorable stay of our trip. The surroundings are absolutely stunning and peaceful, such that we decided to spend our days here to recharge rather than go on any tours. Idling away on the balcony of the boat or lounging in the adjcent hammock was just delightful. Kayaking on the river was a highlight! We also went on some short, pleasant walks, engaging with friendly locals on the way: one to the nearby village (where you can find all essentials) and one in the other direction. Being directly by the water was great for nature watching and it felt like we were the only ones there (while feeling completely safe as two females). The room itself was clean, comfortable and free from creepy crawlies. Wifi was surprisingly very good too. At night it was an amazing experience going to sleep with the sounds of nature around us. We had breakfast and vegetarian dinner, which were very tasty. Although you can choose to order food to eat in the room we opted for the home cooked dinner in the main building so as not to risk attracting any ants on our balcony. The logistics of our stay were also smooth - the caretaker Ganesh was friendly and helpful, and the owners super hospitable and fluent in English, helping us arrange a taxi for our onward travel. We stayed for two days but would definitely recommend staying longer if your itinerary allows for it.

The location is amazing and the view spectacular. The cabins are nice. Guests can use the common area which is great.

Nothing really apart from the ceiling in the bathroom needs a repair, but it didn’t bother me.

The property is just super beautiful, the pictures don’t make justice to how stunning it really is. The owner was super helpful, arranged a car and a tour for us. The staff was super nice and the food also super good.

It is a forest retreat, we got a room facing the river. A good place to get away from everything. Comfortable, clean, and just nice for an escape from the city. We loved that there was home cooked food delivered to us upon order and a calm peaceful ambiance.
