Ezhara Beach House

Great welcome in a homestay in a traditional Keralan house, right next to the beach. Hyacinth is the “ hostess with the mostess”. She is full of ideas of places to go and many tales to tell. Nothing is too much trouble for her.

The food there is both plentiful and delicious. We have met so many interesting people eating at the communal table.
Having been there 4 times, we can’t wait for travel possibilities to open up so we can go to our home from home on Ezhara Beach again.

Eagerly awaiting my next trip to see Hyacinth.

My last visit, 10 nights, was just prior to the Covid pandemic, and each year since has been spent in anticipation of a return.

As promised, I was met at Kannur train station by her very friendly auto rickshaw driver holding up a board with my name so no hassle getting to the property some 20 minutes away.

I was overwhelmed by the hospitality I received. A fabulous location behind the palm trees with views of the beach and ocean from my balcony. Very quiet spot where you can idle away the hours and re charge. I had been on a very hectic 2 weeks of touring, places well off the usual tourist map in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh

Wide variety of fabulous " home cooked" food, beautifully presented and served on the patio by the friendly staff who also cleaned my room and changed the bedding every other day.

After a few days relaxing I asked about local sightseeing and within minutes a full day's trip was organised for me using the same Auto rickshaw driver and at a very reasonable price.

With no clean clothing for my onward journey, I handed over a "bagful" at breakfast and it was ready for packing same evening. It's little touches like this that matter.

I have travelled extensively throughout India for 20 years experiencing all sorts of fabulous accommodation. Ezhara Beach House is everything I want at a fantastic price, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hyacinth and I have kept up a regular exchange of information via Whats App since my return home.

Simply the most amazing place you could possibly visit for a relaxed seaside holiday. Hyacinth is the warmest and kindest host I have ever experienced. Every day, we were served some of the nicest food I have eaten in India — extensive banquets with many dishes. My favourite was the waterbuffalo curries, and the grilled prawns. All of the food is made fresh from local ingredients, which you can really taste. The living areas are large and very comfortable to relax during the heat of the middle of the day — we stayed upstairs, equipped with many cushions and chairs, shaded from the sun, with a sea view. Cannot recommend more.

A welcoming home by the most amazing, empty beach in Kerala. Hyacinth is the perfect host and the food is out of this world! The balcony is a perfect spot for relaxation. And for watching the amazing sunsets. This is our favourite place in India!

I have known Hyacinth for more than a decade now and I can't be grateful enough for her friendship. I visited her beach house in 2008-09 and 2019, and wanted to go back again during my recent trip in November 2022, but it turned out differently and I could not go to South India this time. But we were in continous touch with each other, even before my trip. I had some problems with my bank card and she helped me to solve it, also wrote me suggestions regarding my Gujarat trip. The accomodation she suggested me was perfect, and I got to know a lady in Bhuj through her who became a friend and I could enjoy her hospitality the same way as if it was at Ezhara Beach House with Hyacinth. I miss the special atmosphere of the Ezhara Beach House and hope that my next travel will start / finish there again. The home food, the comfortable, simple and clean rooms, the beautiful surroundings. The owner knows what foreign tourists need (both in terms of stuff and mentally) and the service is always prompt and available. I want to hear again Hyacinth's huge laughs, it is always so refreshing to chitchat with her, about anything. Very helpful and kind woman. I recommend this place from my heart.

What an unexpected and wonderful time we had ! We juste transited through ezhara beach housse but we will remember the colourful people (Hyacinthe and her staff) and place for a long time. Beautiful beach very close very good meals and your every need beeing catered with good Heart. Thank you again Hyacinthe, if we comeback to india WE will definitely Come black. 😊

The best beach stay my family and I have ever had - gorgeous food, a brilliant location on a virtually deserted beach and the unforgettable hospitality of Hyacinth, who anticipated our every need. We had a wonderful Ayurvedic massage in the nearby town, which Hyacinth arranged for us, for example. It’s our third stay and we are already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended!

I wanted to visit Badami and nearby places in karnataka last month so rather than approach a travel agent, i asked Hyacinth and she guided me perfectly. Since I am a solo female traveller her advice for me was the best.
