I feel only drawback is if the front and back yard is maintained it will be very beautiful. We can’t stay here during rainy season it would be very muddy.

The hospitality and home stay was very good. The home stay is very spacious.

It was mentioned 3 bedrooms a, but there were only two bedrooms. It was uncomfortable. We had booked this because it was 3 bedrooms and hence was uncomfortable.

Property was good and easy to locate. The Owner was very kind and helpful with suggestions. Hassle free stay.

A Serene Retreat at Tharavad Holiday Home: A Delightful Experience I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tharavad Holiday Home for four blissful days and I must say it was an absolute delight. Tucked away in a tranquil setting amidst lush greenery and coconut trees this homestay was a perfect escape from the bustling city life. Upon arrival I was warmly greeted by the hospitable staff who made me feel right at home. The traditional architecture of the property added a charming touch and the well-maintained gardens surrounding the homestay provided a serene and captivating atmosphere. The guest rooms at Tharavad Holiday Home were incredibly comfortable and exuded an authentic ambiance with their beautiful wooden furnishings and intricate detailing. The room I stayed in was spacious clean and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay including a cozy bed a private bathroom and air conditioning. One of the highlights of my stay was the delectable and authentic local cuisine that was served the unique flavors of Dakshin karnataka. The meals were made with fresh local ingredients and it was evident that great care was taken in their preparation. Whether it was the traditional buns and stew or the fragrant chowchowbath every bite was a culinary delight. The location of Tharavad Holiday Home was another excellent aspect. Situated near Someshwar village Mangalore provided easy access to popular tourist attractions such as the serene backwaters and the mesmerizing beaches. The staff were more than willing to assist with arranging sightseeing tours and activities. What truly made my stay exceptional was the warmth and genuine hospitality of the hosts and staff. They went above and beyond to make me comfortable always ready with a smile and willing to cater to any request or inquiry I had.

The stay was so comfortable and the location was just great as it was in the highway itself. The host , Mr. Sharath was lovely and met to all our needs without hesitation. Beautiful place for families and the beach is just close by, completely worth the money! There are extra cots available if there is extra people staying there.The Host made sure to check into every single details to make the stay really comfortable, thank you!

The property was extremely neat and clean. The bed linens and towels were well washed. Sharath, the owner got us the breakfast himself in our preferred time. We were given enough options for breakfast and whatever we chose he had provided that. Also, he got us some local delicacies like Mangalore Buns, Goli Bajji. Bread, butter, eggs and fresh fruits were provided on the house.

The Home stay was very easily accessible. It is right on the Highway. The House was clean and Sharat was very helpful. The Home stay is also walkable to the beach. Though the Beach is not clean(nothing special).

The host was extremely cordial and friendly. He guided us through the city very nicely. He also suggested a mangrove boat ride which was mesmerizing.

The location is a bit off from the main city so if you do not have your own transport, it gets a bit tricky to find cabs, autos. Uber, Ola are not effective here either. The owner tries to help and guide but a tip for anyone travelling here would be to plan for some rental transport for the duration of stay. There were some power issues during our stay where the fuse went off couple of times, once at late night, despite us being careful not to switch heavy electricals together. On calling the owner he did come and had it fixed though. The open yard space outside the apartment could be better maintained.

Place was spacious. Inside the apartment was clean. The owner tries to help with any requests you have and had arranged things like fruits, bread, eggs etc. for us beforehand. This place has full fledged kitchen with fridge, stove, ample utensils. The owner also had a boat trip arranged for us which was a great experience. Both the rooms have AC, which we didn't use much but would be very useful in summer.

The only discomfort we felt was that the water pressure on the bath shower was not enough, however it can be managed as the toilets in are all provided with a large clean bucket/cup.

The stay in Tharavad was awesome, throughout the stay we never felt that we were staying in a rented apartment/house. The property is infront of the National Highway towards Goa/Pune/Mumbai, it's so covienient for tourists traveling by road,also a quiet location which easily accessible from the main road, towards KS Hegde hospitals & Medical accademy, and other prominent hospitals in Mangalore. The house was provided with all facilities (a large parking space for cars, bikes), toiletries; and the top attractions were free Wifi, all kitchen facilities like fridge, oven, cooking gas/stove, utensils, enough drinking water, milk, bread, eggs cheese, bananas, coffee/tea were all sufficiently stocked. It's having everything for family stays. There is a nearby market situated within one or two kilometre. Exactly like whatever facilities one should have in own house for a longer stay. Mr.Sharath the property manager can be reached by phone or WhatsApp for any clarification or help, and he always response promptly and happily guide you. Once you are there he consider you as his own family member 👍; great hospitality The only discomfort we felt was that the water pressure on the bath shower was not enough, however it can be managed as the toilets in are all provided with a large clean bucket/cup. Initially we made a booking for 4 nights, unfortunately due to some health issues among one of us we decided to leave one day earlier, and as we were not able to make amendments through online for the checkout, the matter was informed to booking.com who promptly coordinated with the property manager Mr. Sharath and a very helpful decision was done by him, by amending the day of checkout with rate adjustments for the day we cancelled. Definitely will visit again during our next visit to Mangalore or on any of our drive through this area in future either to Manipal (for MAHE Alumni meetings) or any vacation towards Goa.

Ran out of water early morning. Sharath however guided us over the phone how to alleviate the issue. He was very accessible and helpful.

Location of the homestay, just off the national highway was very convenient. The restaurant next door also made having meals easy. Although the owner wasn't present and neither was there a caretaker, the door code made the property accessible. The kitchen was stocked with breakfast essentials, which was very helpful. If one is travelling with pets, there is sufficient area for them to run around. Though Sharath the owner was travelling, he was in regular touch following up on our location and guiding us to reach the property.
