It’s aptly named heritage …as each corner boast of traditional wood work. It’s nicely tucked in greenery and so much peace…I won’t be boasting if I say living in the lap of nature. The food was so sumptuous that you just could not resist yourself.

The stay at Heritage Marari was wonderful. The staff, though fewer than normal due to the pandemic, were fantastic. Our every need was promptly fulfilled. The food was excellent, too. Bruce is an excellent host.

There are some places on Planet which feels like mother’s home. I was little too hesitant to leave Heritage Marari - it felt home every way. The lush by the backwaters , the almost 12-15 species of birds watched from the comfort of sipping tea and the meals served with nothing but love - I am going back here soon. Bruce and Rahul are simply the best ! If you are looking for warmth @ home kinda an experience go here - start the day with tea , go for long walks or cycle around the cute lanes , get back have the best Keralam breakfast. Work amidst of coconut trees or simply relax by the easy chair .

This place is a hidden gem near Alleppey. If you're looking for peace and quiet and amazing local food, this is the place to be. Beautiful location, Yummiest home food and one gem of a host. Definitely going back there soon.

The kind and welcoming hosts and staff made our short stay in these pretty surroundings memorable. A special feature that impressed me was that the cottages are all really old heritage structures, dismantled from elsewhere and carefully reconstructed on site. Just beautiful! The room and bathroom were super clean and set up neatly, and the bed especially was very comfy. Food was exceptionally good, made with so much care, just before every meal. Loved the traditional dinner with delicious avial, the unusual bhindi in coconut milk dish, and grilled vatta fish. The breakfast was really tasty too, and we enjoyed the steamed banana, appams, kadala curry, and fresh pineapple juice. Thanks so much, Bruce, Babu and Rahul!

The cottages are amazing. It is like living in authentic Kerala homes without negotiating on modern amenities. The food is really really good and home-cooked. It's a small resort with 4 cottages which feels intimate. Bruce is an amazing host and had great knowledge about places and things nearby.

Bruce the host and his staff Rahul are excellent in hospitality. The place is a real getaway from the rushes of city life. Location is very close to the beach. Absolute delicious cuisine served and again need to mention Bruce and his staff for preparing such authentic and delicious food. Also love the way the place is maintained. Gives us a very nostalgic vintage scenes.

Everything! Bruce is an amazing soul. He is super friendly, understanding, interactive and sensible. The place is kick-ass and we also managed to do a photo shoot at the property. The place is just brilliant set for photoshoot and Bruce was all cool with it as well. His wife also cooked home made fish and beef which were super good. Due to AC malfunction, he gave us a temporary room for one night. Overall it was just too amazing stay and we had the entire property to ourselves as no other guests were there being a week day.

The Heritage Marari is excellent. The cottages are traditional Kerala buildings over 100 years old but are very comfortable and with up to date bathroom etc. Each cottage has v effective air conditioning and reliable WiFi. The rooms are v clean and the beds are v comfortable. The traditional Kerala food supplied in the evening is excellent. Bruce the owner is very hospitable and helpful. The staff are very helpful too. Bruce supplied me with a bike which was great to explore the area. He also allowed me to have my cottage for the afternoon I left as I had a late flight from Kochi. I cannot fault this property and would recommend it to anyone. I would stay there again.

The location is great. The view fro the house is breathtaking. The local beach is heavenly. I highly recommend this place for who ever wants a simple yet exclusive experience. The cottages are very quaint and authentic. It is quiet and very comfortable. Bruce is a great Host. Friendly, available and always here to help.
