KK Heritage

KK Homestay is located in one of the most beautiful areas I have been to in Kerala .The jungle is lush and serene - with wonderful birds and sounds . Ranjit and Joity are very interesting and fun host/es . My new friends for sure . Ranjits meals were delicious and served at a communal table made dinner and breakfast a real event . Ranjit was brilliant when anything was needed from the outside - and he organised a yoga teacher for me that I really admire . Oh yes - the beach is small and clean - watch out for the very strong sun though . A big thank you also to Archibald - See you again 🙏

We arrived late in the evening, so were unable to appreciate how beautiful the setting was until the following morning. We were greeted by Sriranji and his staff with warmth and consideration and given a freshly cooked meal. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food, home cooked and appetising. We ate with other guests at a communal table which was a great way to meet new friends and swap travellers tales! Sriranji also arranged for us to go to a local Theyyam ceremony, which was a wonderful experience. A great place to kick back and relax.

It was a great pleasure to return to KK Heritage! There we had all warm-heartedness from the Sreeranj and Jyothi. Ranji is the excellent cook and he never makes the same food, everyday he had something new to surprize us! Except the beautiful beaches in a short walking distance, this place can also offer you quiet and shadowy garden to relax during a hot day.

Hello. Sorry for my English 😉 KK HERITAGE is worth even 10 stars. The best place in India. Only sounds of nature you can hear there. Birds singing all the time. Very peaceful, owner is so helpful and food is excellent. Also owner will help you to see a Theyyam Dance. Definitely you should see that perfor***ce. Definitely 10 stars for KK HERITAGE and his owners Sreeranj and his wife Jyothi. It was the best part in our time in India. Andrew and Hanna.

I have stayed a week with Sreeranj and Jyothi at KK Heritage. And decided to stay for three more weeks. I guess that says it all. To go to breakfast and dinner here is a food adventure. Sreeranj is a very good chef. You get amazing dishes made of really fresh ingredients. And for lunch there is always something small to keep you going. With their own well for water and a filter system, the stay feels very safe. I have had no problems to eat raw vegetables and juices and drink the filtered water. For a solo traveller the care shown is heart warming. And the "everyone eats together-concept" brings good company. If you are interested in Theyyam, the ritual ceremony, just ask Sreeranj for guidence and you will find yourself at the right place at the right time having a real cultural experience. You can see the sunrise from the garden, and the sunset from the beach, which is just 100 m away. A very clean peaceful beach with very few people. The kind you dream of. Sometimes I have been all alone there.

Staying at KK Heritage was a delight. I spent 9 days there. The rooms are comfortable, views from the veranda are lovely, and the ambience is calm. The homestay is on a backwater, with the beach nearby. Getting to the beach or to streets that lead to the village is quick, though the paths that lead to them could be challenging for anyone with significant mobility impairment. There are numerous beautiful walks to take in any direction, and birdwatching opportunities are plentiful. The main reasons I will return, though, have to do with the hosts, who are exceptionally warm and welcoming. Ranji and Jyothi are also quite accommodating, providing great suggestions for how to follow your interests in the area, from teyyam to handloom weaving to local temples. Ranji also makes the best home-cooked food I have eaten over decades of staying in India -- he is an amazing cook. I will definitely be back!

Best! Because the place itself, the vicinity to the sea, the beach itself, the view, the food, the tranquility and above all, Sreeranj, the host. This is one of the best place for us in India. We keep coming over the years, and it is always as good as it was.

If I could give KK ten stars I would! In March 2020 when Mr. Modi announced lockdown and flight ban I was at KK Heritage with a few other shocked travelers. I watched as Mr. Sree Ranj made superhu*** efforts to deal with hysterical guests, stubborn police and unbending authorities to enable his guests to make it home before lockdown. All made it except me. I remained locked down for 3 months in India, during which Sree Ranj and his wife Jyothi made sure I was safe, cared for my every need and even in lockdown cooked the most wonderful food for me. They treated me as part of their family. KK Heritage is a wonderful paradise of a place, overlooking the back waters, near Thottada beach under the palm groves. Ranji's food is the best, bar none! It's a bird watchers haven, it's a local vibe, it's a place for peace and quiet, great food and great company. It's my home from home. I will always go back, and so should you.
