“ This was my first homestay experience and I must say it’s gonna be hard for any other to live up to this :) the warmest, most thoughtful & the most peaceful stay. Shekhar, Treeva & Chinnamu were my family away from family :) they took care of me like one of their own 💛 can’t wait to be back ! ” Karishma

“ Shekhar and Treva have a home for travelers away from home. Shekar came to receive me and my mom early morning at 5 a.m to railway station. This gesture really moved us. He and his wife Treva take care of their guests as family members. They will try to help you in every way going far and beyond guiding you with the locales . Our stay and trip to Kerala was comfortable since we had a good and safe place to stay. Thanks again for the hospitality and will surely visit again. ” Krishna

“ We stayed with Treva and Shekar for 2 nights - they were great hosts. It was a very special way to end our time in India. Shekar picked us up from the bus station. Treva cooked delicious food. The house and garden are very well kept. The room is clean and comfortable. We shared many interesting conversations over tea, beer and meal times! They showed us around their organic garden and the tea paddies at the bottom of the lane. The property is within walking distance of the local village. It’s a peaceful location. Shekar also took us to the local Toddy Shop which was a great experience. A very interesting and accommodating couple - make sure you stay here if you are in the area! ” Rebecca

“ The most hospitable people, i must say! Felt as if i was at my favourite uncle and aunts house. The food was absolutely delicious and the warmth Sekhar and Treva extended was heartwarming. The little things like giving me their motorbike so i can get around town, to making sure everything is comfortable all the time, every time are the ones that make a difference. I will definitely come back here! ” Ganesh

“ Treva & Shekar sind sehr aufmerksame und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Geben beste Tips für Veranstaltungen , Einkaufen usw.. Wei besuch bei lieben Verwandten oder Freunden Beate und Manfred ” Manfred

“ It was such a pleasant experience staying at Treva and Shekhar’s home. They are genuine, warm and loving people and took great care of us. They took our safety and comfort as their responsibility. We are very touched by their niceness. Thank you sooo much for all your help and love.. You are wonderful hosts and we loved your little world there in Ottapalam. ” Amruta

“ If you like the company of two lovely dogs, two very welcoming hosts, coconuts and bananas then this place will make you feel at home. The house itself is very well maintained, every corner was clean. Superb food. Nature is definitely kept in mind and living of the land with all its fruit and nutrients. Excellent and honest opinions on the surrounding area. Really can't get enough of the coconut crazy life ” Olivia

“ It was like a serendipity to meet them both. From the moment that Shekar came to pick us up at the temple ground, we felt the hearty welcome. Arriving at home, Treva was on the same good energy. They both have open minded that we love. We felt so at ease to talk with them on any subject and had a great time sharing. We enjoyed the variety of breakfasts..and we were lucky to have the opportunity to test the homemade dinner with vegetable and fruits from the garden..Yummy!!! Delicious.. Everything perfect regarding bedroom, bathroom, amenities. The 2 dogs, Chinnammu and Bella are very loving!!! The house is very easy to reach from the town so if you come by bus no problem, and by car the temple is a good meeting point at 800 meters from the house. Our recommendation : come as you are, no worries. ” Isabelle

“ I booked Coconut Crazy for mum as a weekend get away. The communication with Treva and Shekar was quick and clear. They went out of their way to make sure my mum had a pleasant and convenient stay at their place. They were kind and more than generous with everything they did ( pick up, drop, shared and cooked special food, suprise bday treat, took her around for sight seeing and what not) I would rate this experience much higher than airbnb standard. Many many thanks to both of you. ” Vinitha Stanley

“ Treva and Shekar are wonderful hosts and warm, kind and good-humoured people, I felt at home at their place and was grateful for the care they took of me - picking me up at the crack of dawn, from the station, dropping me to Kalamandalam etc. Their home is very well kept and their two dogs are lovely. ” Kala Krishnan Ramesh

“ Sekar has the most endearing of laughs and Treva cooks delightfully delicious Upma. In a world where the ordinary amongst us dash after gilt and pace, the extraordinary live a life in serenity and peace; the extraordinary amongst us cultivate love and give away its dividends as pristine affection. Sekar and Treva are truly extraordinary. Much love to you both and the lovely canines. ” Lisa Mathew

“ A wonderful place. Clean and comfortable room. Shekar and treva are great hosts. The house is very close to Ottapalam town, a beautiful place in Kerala, on the shores of Bharatha puzha. Food was very good. Best part is that they allow pets to stay. Our dog had a wonderful time. Would recommend this place. ” Anoop

“ I traveled with Treva Shekar Padath to Kerala a few years ago. What a beautiful exotic place full of warm, wonderful people. I speak from experience - this is a place you do not want to miss! Treva & Shekar are wonderful hosts! ” Cheri Hogan

“ It was the first time I tried air Bnb in India and Shekhar and treva made the experience worthwhile! They are such warm people and so helpful! So positive in their Outlook in life. Bella and chinammu were gems! They made our stay all the more welcoming! After a long day of sightseeing and traveling when we used to come back, it felt as if we were back home! ” Saradapriya
