We stayed at Heritage Haven in early January 2013. The owner is a very kind and friendly man of whom one gets the impression that nothing would be too much to ask. The homestay is situated very close to Mararikulam Beach, a gorgeous stretch of sand: if you are looking for a beach infrastructure for sun loungers, umbrellas, bars, life... More

We had a wonderful time at Heritage Haven. The homestay has 2 rooms in a really unusual, beautiful old Keralan style house. You can spend your time on the beach (it's only a short walk), reading on the swing on the porch or going on a day trip to the backwaters. There isn't much to do in Mararikulam, and that's... More

We were a family about 5 people and this was one of our last stops on a long trip in India. I can only say good things about Heritage Haven!!! The hospitality was great and the place is so cozy. The building itself is very unique and old but had all facilities that you need and the rooms were very... More

Heritage Haven is a lovely location. The accommodation is wonderfully decorated in traditional style and has a modern fitted bathroom. The hosts are very friendly and approachable. As with anything in Kerala the home cooked food is excellent. About 5-10 minutes walk is a long sandy beach which is virtually deserted apart from the odd fisherman and tourist. The water... More

The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Friendly and helpful hosts. Very good breakfast with possibilities of ordering lunch and dinner at one's wish. Very tasteful meals. The beach is at walk distance to the beach, really ideal. Quiet spot off the main road with small local shops and tuk-tuk terminal close by. The train station is at walk distance... More

We spent a few days at Heritage Haven in December 2010, but have only just got around to reviewing the place. We had a wonderful time. The B&B is set back from the village in its own gardens - a welcome respite from the hubbub of Indian towns. Our room was in the historic nalukettu in Anil's garden - a... More

We stayed for 5 nights and all I can say is that it was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Kerala! The house is a 200 yr old traditional Keralan 'nalukettu' surrounded by lovely gardens and a pond, there is also a porch with a swing! Anil, the host and his family live next door and since we...

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Heritage Haven. It is located in a real fisherman's village, so you get a very good impression of what life is in an Indian village. The beach is just 5 minutes by foot away. It is one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. Very few tourists, very safe, extremely warm water and... More

Enjoyed a lovely couple of days in Anil's homestay. Very peaceful, nice room and Anil and family made us feel very welcome. They even shared their wedding anniversary cake with us and we were only too happy to help them celebrate. Food was good and Anil brought drinks up to our room before dinner which was a really nice way... More
