Little Chembaka

I absolutely loved my stay in Little Chembaka and had a wonderful 2 days. The cottage itself was clean, beautiful and comfortable. I ate there both nights and the food was plentiful, interesting and tasty. Ditto the breakfast. I did a few activities. The sunrise boat ride and village walk was really lovely and very interesting. Got to see real village life in the company of 2 of the Chembaka team and the boat ride in a small boat was peaceful and calm. In the evening I went on a sunset boat ride. One of the team positioned the boat in a sublime spot where we watched the sunset. I also was taken by the manager Jess to a toddy shop to drink toddy, snack on tapioca and hot fish sauce and chat about everything! I learnt a lot about Kerala life and much more! But the thing that stood out and really made my stay were the people who worked there. Jess runs the place with love and passion and this shines through everything. I highly recommend a stay here. I loved it. Big thanks to the team and Jess, you're a star.

Nothing.

The owner welcomed us and treated us like family. He is an expert Keralan chef, and he provided us with local cuisine of the highest quality- quite exceptional. A stay at Little Chembaka is an unforgettable experience.

There was nothing to dislike.

Everything as described in other comments. Very nice host, excellent food, and a beautiful boat trip. Highly recommend.

Little Chembaka is a one villa, 2 persons accommodation where you have the personal attention of the host/chef. The meals, (breakfast, lunch and dinner )that Jes cooked for us were exceptional; our sunrise cruise and village walk was so informative. As we eat our sumptuous meals, Jes sits and talks to us, about his life, his aspirations and we got to know so much about Kerala, in just 2 days!!

Nothing!
