We stayed at Kaits Home originally for 1 night but extended it to 3 once we saw the place. It really is lovely - Jossy is an excellent host recommending some fantastic activities, cooking some amazing food, and the place really is just like the photos. You get to have all your meals right on the water in a very... More

Had a brilliant time staying at Kaits home. Food was excellent with a variety of meat and veg options, all delicious! And the family are so lovely. The riverside setting is a site to behold with a concrete tiled gazebo-style seating area looking onto the water where you eating your meals. There are canoes you can use and we took... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at Kaits Home last week and it was possibly the best place we have stayed in India! The most scenic place ever! Eating food out on the river-pavilion is awesome! We were treated to a thunder and lightening show one night too! The food prepared by jossys wife is nothing short of incredible, some of... More

This lovely, tranquil homestay was exactly what we're looking for right on the backwaters near Allepey. We came across it by chance and spent a glorious day and night there - we only wish we could've stayed longer. The highlight was the free canoes, which we used to explore the narrow backwaters away from the houseboats, where the kingfishers and... More

Kait’s Home was quite different from our previous homestay deep in the backwater paddy fields. Kait’s Home is located directly on the banks of the broad River Pampa. We asked for the riverside cottage and the superb terrace of the cottage was less than 5 metres from the banks of the river. It was lovely to sit out and watch... More

A great place to stay and relax on the veranda under the electric fan (a real bonus!) with a cold beer, watching the boats go by - (Jossy sells beer). The food was excellent and served in a large wicker-type gazebo jutting out over the water. We swam and kayaked in the river and walked along the riverbank to the... More

We opted to try a few of the traditional homestays rather than rent a houseboat and it couldn't have been better! We arrived at Mr Jossy's using local buses from Allepey (just ask) and were initially a little underwhelmed by the place, kind of wondering if we should try somewhere else. Then we sat down on the bungalow's verranda and... More
