GreenChromide Homestays

Right on the river, locally located for a true experience.

A gem with a beautiful outdoor area overlooking the river. one of a kind!! Suniana was an amazing host, the cabin was clean, everything was absolutely perfect.

The stay exceeded our expectations. It is located next to a river, the chalets are super cozy, and the garden is the perfect place to unwind. Sunaina is really helpful and we did a boating backwater trip with Vishnu, would recommend!

This homestay is run better than some boutique hotels we've stayed in. The hosts provide a very professional level of service, over and above what we expected. Sunaina and her family are such amazing hosts. As we were lucky to visit when the temple festival was on, Sunaina invited all the guests for lunch in her home as she couldn't offer evening meals as basically the whole island visit the festival. She messaged several times whilst we were at the festival to check we felt safe and everything was ok. She organised our sunrise morning canoe trip (1800 INR for 3 hours) which I'd recommend, beautiful and tranquil journey to watch sunrise on the lake, advised where we could hire bicycles from a local home, arranged a taxi for us to get to our next destination. Nothing was too much trouble. The wooden chalet was gorgeous with everything clearly labelled so you know how to operate the hot water etc, room has a small fridge and bookcase with spare books for you. Each room has its own seating area by the lake with table/chairs under a fan and light and hammock. Will definitely recommend to friends and would love to return. Also recommend the food- breakfast and evening meals. They send you the menu in advance for themselves and another local place that can deliver for you. We'd visited Alleppey prior to Monroe Island. Alleppey maybe has more life to view from the water, but we loved Monroe island, had a great tranquil feel to it, nature on the water and narrow roads you could cycle around and see friendly people and feel safe. Can see why it gets such great reviews, worth the detour to visit from Alleppey.

Nothing, just wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely return, hopefully when it's not as hot!
