Nice stay for a couple of days

Nice welcome, and when I was sick Indrajith was kind and brought us tea to the cabin. Enjoyed the flora and fauna of the site, sitting on the porch in the shade when it was hot, and the visits from the puppies and their mum. Nice to be close to Odayam beach too.

I feel that this place has the potential to be really gorgeous.. with a few tweaks here and there, a good clean up and a bit of maintenance and updating and a genuine sustainability programme to include recycling. I didn't like accessing the property through the back end of the Sandy Bay Café...as I had to walk through their rubbish dump each time...these things may not necessarily bother everyone, because the Temple Tree is a nice welcome at the end of it all.

Nice place

Nice location, secluded, cute puppies, helpful staff, good for nature spotting.

It was only accessible through the back-end of a cafe that was pretty unclean. The room could do with a bit of an update, ie brighter lightbulbs, and more of a clean on the outside of the buildings. This won't bother everyone though as it is gold value for money. A recycling point for plastic would be good.

Уголок тропического леса

Милый уголок тропического леса прямо рядом с пляжем. Чувствуешь себя как на тропической даче, птицы щебечут, бурундуки скачут, приходили в гости обезьяны и какие то зверьки похожие на опоссума. На большом зеленом участке расположены всего 2 дома, каждый на 4 человека и 2 палатки на дереве. Прекрасный персонал, дружелюбные улыбчивые мальчики, к домикам нет подъезда, они нас встречали и провожали от такси и до такси.. Готовили нам завтраки, простенькие, но каждый день разные. Прямо у домиков пляж на котором очень хорошо купаться. До центрального пляжа Варкалы и Северного Клифа (Возвышенность над пляжем на которой очень много магазинов и кафе) пешком 10 минут. Есть кафе прямо у домиков с хорошим ассортиментом и музыкой. Если Вы неприхотливы в плане быта, это идеальный вариант. Там очень уютно, вообще не хотелось уезжать.

От пляжа к домикам дорожка не совсем чистая. Сад не везде ухоженный. Комнаты маленькие, сантехника старенькая. Нашим друзьям очень не хватало чайника в номере и холодильника. Если добавить, будет превосходно. Для меня эти простые бытовые условия перекрывались уютом дачной жизни

After reading the description and with the price I had expected more of it, and was a bit disappointed. From all the pla

The houses and the site are really beautiful. It’s a five minute walk from Odayam beach, which meant I could go swimming first thing in the morning and even after dark. The room is basic but had everything I needed. With a bit more care and effort and better prices this could actually be a great place to stay.

It is simply overpriced. Rooms are very basic, which would be ok for a lower price. E.g. the mattress is a thin piece of soft foam, so you will more or less lie on the wood of the bed. If you are looking for a quiet place, don’t go on the weekend, since there are parties in the bar close by. Also there is a huge mosque right next door and the first call of the Muezzin is at 5 am every day. The path from the beach to the compound could be made nicer. I liked the guys who run it, but they weren’t particularly welcoming or helpful and don’t seem to be interested in making their place match the exaggerated description they put on here.

Я в восторге! Гулять по этому саду к моему дому это отдельное удовольствие! Очень очень живописно!

Очень очень натурально! Просто живешь в лесу! В минуте от пляжа! Пляж очень чистый с черным песком и практически вообще без людей! Комары не беспокоили. Смотритель всегда рядом.

Может стоит взять постельное белье свое. Хотя здесь конечно заправляют и я спала, все в порядке

Good for solo travelers looking for only night stay

It is a budget friendly stay for sure. Since I was coming to the room only for the sleeping, it was a good deal for me.

There could be definitely improvement on the hygiene and basic facilities. Rooms don't get clean everyday if you stay for multiple days. The second day there was no water in bathroom and noone was picking up the call. Noone is available for checkout as well. Left the key and came back.

Get Ready...

The environment was really good and peaceful Very convenient It's close to the beach Staffs are good

I booked a tent stay during the monsoon. Water leaked into our tent and we got wet while sleeping The tent's hot inside. No air circulation. So I wouldn't recommend it In our room the fan is in a worst condition

Poor

The atmosphere outside the property is good!

It's a very old property with poor maintenance. There is even a water leakage on the floor. And there is not even a lock that is not proper to lock the door. Inside the room there is no proper maintenance. In the bathroom we need to wipe up the floor for the water to dry. There are no complimentary things from the property like a towel, toothbrush and paste and even a chair and Mirror. Importantly on my way to the property there is a bad odour coming up. It was my personal experience in August 2023.

Too costly for the room and facilities

The location of rooms

Its pretty far and is very difficult to find the place. Also its not value for money. Small room and not even water is available easily. There was a small and narrow way to beach as this place is like a hidden place which is neither close to roads nor beach.

The Temple Tree is a real piece of heaven. I felt in peace and harmony in the middle of this luxuriant nature, so close from the ocean that I could listen from my room along with the songs of the birds. This place is a hidden gem, away from the crowd of the cliff (but still very close from everything you need within a walking distance). Thank you to the staff who created such a beautiful atmosphere around them :) It's a place you could live forever.

Turned to a horrible experience, never again

The place itself is just beautiful, palm trees and the jungle are stunning, very close to the beach. Only 2 houses 2 rooms each which means not so many people around. Also, the guy who cleans the rooms is super nice and friendly

Well, I stayed more than 1 month and unfortunately could see much more =( Small things: the property owner left surfing at the known time of my arrival and wasn't available, so I had issues with location and bags; this isn't an apartment, it is just a very old room with cold water, the kitchen is shared with stuff, very dirty and smells like a fish always, so if you are veg it can be a challenge for you to use; not possible to order food. Big things: I had privacy issues with the owner\manager; And this Story:( Someone hit my motorcycle on the parking along with a wall, which belongs to another local owner, my bike was damaged and the wall as well, temple tree property owner\manager was acting inappropriately, sending me accusing messages and asking me to pay money for the damaged wall, just because that another owner is angry and "you have money anyway, just pay for it, doesn't matter if you didn't that", then the wall's owner attacked me when I was alone at the parking, was shouting in a different language and physically holding my bike not letting me go. My property manager wasn't helpful and obviously just wanted me to pay and even complained that he has to deal with it now. I had to go to the police to protect myself, police came and solved the case confirming that I am not guilty. I have never seen such unprofessional property owner behavior in India even though I come for 10 years. I had to move out urgently since it was just unsafe. After I moved out the temple tree owner kept contacting me and asking for my location, referring to the police, but the police of course already had my details and number, I felt so unsafe again. It was just a nightmare experience and please be careful, it can be ok for a few days, getting coconuts, drinking beers, and gossiping with the manager/owner, but in the case of any attack or problem with locals, you can't expect any protection from the place where are you staying, even opposite.

It is a beautiful little house in a green environment, between palmtrees, only like 1 minute of walk away from the beautiful beach and a great beach bar.

A beautiful and tranquil hideaway

This place is absolutely beautiful, there is an abundance of wildlife including small snakes and terrapins in the waterways and so many beautiful birds including kingfishers, owls and eagles, we were quite mesmerised. The huts are behind a restaurant on the beach - Sandy Bay - it is a rugged walkway and wouldn't work with suitcases. The huts are basic, they're ok, cleaning was minimal but ok. Nice porch to sit out on. The tents are pretty small tents, just enough space for a bed. The manager and staff are very welcoming and helpful. They sell bottles of water, 1 litre for 20 inr. The Juicy cafe - a 15 min walk up the road has brilliant local cheap food (about 100 inr or less, per meal). The local beach is right next to here, at around 8 am the fishermen are all out with a big fishing net, hauling in their catch by hand - it's quite a sight.

The rooms could have been cleaner, our basin tap only worked by using a feeder tap under the basin. The walkway in could have been made nicer.

Very good

Very special place with lots of green and surrounded by wildlife. Very quiet and yet just a minute away from the beaches. Quick to walk to the more busy center and also to some more quiet beaches. Really nice and helpful staff. They even climbed a palmtree for us on the last day to get us a fresh coconut. Clean room and very comfortable bed. Definitely recommend!

Retreat in a quiet spot

Location in middle of coconut forrest, 5 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk to Varkala cliff. Friendly staff members

First room we've got was dirty. Cleaning is ageneral issue. Means are missing. After changing the room we felt okay. The whole infrasteucture needs an uplift. But for the tariff they charge its ok

a regenerating experience for the soul

quite, in nature, gt host, nr sea, space, actually i shouldnt be doing a a gt review as like to keep this place a secret but feel would be unfair to travellers who enjoy the peaceful side of life. not for party groups but for creative souls looking for time out away from the chaos. artists, poets, writers and more would take away a lovely experience.

all good
