Nutshell-Airport Retreat by the Sea

we found this property through make my trip app. very pleasant, beautiful place..with good comfort n facilities.. The cherry on the cake part is...property is filled with antique wodden pieces... and it feels like a poem written by someone who has arranged it..

I've stayed here for 2 days with my family. We enjoyed our time here. The food was great. The host is very helpful and kind.

Location was absolutely fantastic. Beach, city centre, airport, mall are convenient, yet it is quiet. The property is facing the beach. We took a stroll at night on the sea beach, then casually walked to the airport to pick up mango slice from a grocery shop in front of the t1 gate that too at 10pm in night. Earlier in evening we just took a rickshaw from round the corner to padmanabhan swamy temple that was a short ride. There is also a bus but i didn't explore it. The home stay is very well maintained with good collection of antique furniture. There are sitting benches outside placed between plants. I enjoyed my tea here. One literally feels at home. Arun welcomed us and asked what we needed. He assured us he will provide us airport drop even at night. Appam and stew one of our favorite kerala breakfast was served hot in the dining area. We enjoyed chatting with other guests at breakfast and exchanging our trip details. There was a serbian, a polish girl and another austrian couple who joined us. Earlier evening there was a norwegian couple enjoying their wine sitting in the patio watching the sea. We spoke about our travel experiences, they were amused when i asked them if they were from oslo and told them about my travel to norway. And how i struggled with norwegian phonetics like i do with malyalam. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many european guests. They have a fully equipped kitchen that guests can use for any small needs. We made our own tea to drink whenever we liked. The ac worked well, bathroom has electric water heater. Bed was large enough to accommodate couple and child, room was spacious and full of antique furniture like wardrobe. On my request they arranged a full day tour cab. I visited jatayu rock, experienced elephant ride like a mahut. They held on to my luggage as my flight was late after checking out. It was ones my most memorable stays.
