A homestay by Rajesh Alex

Come home to the river.

Pool and pavilion
The cottage at the end of the garden path
The river deck

A two-bedroom riverside home with a private pool on an acre of garden, near Athirappilly falls.

Our home by the river. Yours for a while.

Welcome to Murai

“We built Murai as the kind of place we always wanted to come back to: a cottage under tall trees, a lawn for the children, a pool for the hot afternoons and the Chalakudy river at the bottom of the garden. Now we’d like to share it with you.”

Only one family or group stays at a time, so the whole acre feels like your own home in Kerala.
