Near Chethy Bridge, 688530 Mararikulam, India – Great location - show map
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.
IndiaBruce 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.
IndiaEverything! 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.
IndiaThe 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.
United KingdomThe 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.
FranceOur stay at Heritage Marari was beyond our expectations! Bruce is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met, he was very attentive and arranged everything we needed: places to visit, taxis, boat trip and other things. His meals were a plus during our staying, his Kerala home-food cooked is absolutely delicious and opened up our tastebuds to flavors we had never tried.

Host (Bruce) and Guests
Our property is located by the backwaters which is connected to the beach. We are just 500 meters away from the beach so its walkable distance of 10 minutes. Our restaurant serves Kerala cuisines and we are specialised in fish related foods.
I have been in the travel industry for more than 20 years now. I have shifted my interest to hospitality for the last 3 years as I was always a tour operator and specialising in Inbound. Always wanted to give the best to my guests.
One of the finest beaches of Kerala is just 500 mtrs away from us. The village around us a beautiful walk to understand the daily activities of normal life. Ac cycle ride can take you the harbour where you witness liv auction of fishes. Or if you are too lazy to cycle you can always try the tuk tuk ride.

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
