Set in a peaceful residential pocket near M.R. Ganiger International Public School in Niralakeri, this homestay offers an inviting base for exploring the best of Kovalam and Thiruvananthapuram. It blends home-like comfort with practical amenities, making it a smart choice for couples, families, and small groups who want both relaxation and easy access to local attractions.
Inside, rooms are simply furnished yet thoughtfully equipped, featuring air-conditioning to keep you cool after a day in the tropical sun, a comfortable seating area to unwind with a book or plan your sightseeing, and a reliable inverter so power cuts don’t disrupt your stay. Western-style toilets add to the comfort, especially for international travelers and families with children.
The location puts you within convenient driving distance of some of Kerala’s most iconic sights. Start your day with panoramic views from the Vizhinjam Lighthouse, then wander down to the coastline to enjoy Kovalam’s golden sands and gentle surf. Nature lovers can head to the serene Vellayani Lake or to the scenic Veli Lake Tourist Village, where backwaters, gardens, and boating experiences offer a tranquil contrast to the bustle of the city.
Spiritual and cultural stops are close at hand too. Pay a visit to the oceanfront Aazhimala Shiva Temple, known for its commanding clifftop views, and to the world-famous Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram, a must-see for its intricate architecture and rich heritage. For a truly memorable day trip, travel out to Neyyar Dam, where lush hills and calm waters create a refreshing escape, or to Jatayu Earth’s Center, home to the massive Jatayu sculpture, adventure activities, and a scenic cable car ride.
Thanks to its good reachability by bus, shared jeep, and taxi, this homestay serves as a convenient hub whether you’re here for a short coastal break, a temple-focused itinerary, or an extended exploration of Kerala’s capital region. After a busy day, return to a quiet, residential setting where you can cool off in AC comfort, relax in your seating area, and plan the next day’s adventures at your own pace.
Reach this cozy stay in Kovalam with ease from all major transport hubs in Thiruvananthapuram. From Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (about 12.9 km away), you can hire a private taxi for a direct and comfortable ride, or opt for a shared jeep from the airport stand towards Kovalam and then a short local transfer to the homestay area near M.R. Ganiger International Public School in Niralakeri, Bagalkote. From Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station (around 11.1 km), prepaid taxis and app cabs are readily available; you can also board a city bus towards Kovalam Beach and nearby localities, then take a short auto-rickshaw ride to reach the neighborhood of the school. If you are arriving by bus at the main Thiruvananthapuram bus stand (about 3.5 km away), frequent local buses run toward Kovalam and adjoining areas; alternatively, shared jeeps and private taxis from just outside the bus terminal can drop you close to the homestay’s lane. For added convenience, you can pre-arrange a taxi or jeep transfer so your driver meets you at the station, bus stand, or airport and brings you directly to the property without any confusion.
