The River House

The River House – Serenity Encounters Practicality by the Backwaters

Located comfortably on the peaceful backwaters of Panangad, The River House homestay combines a peaceful country ambiance with the amenities of city Kochi in a smooth way. It’s an ideal spot for a relaxing mini-break still near enough to city facilities.

Architectural Invitation to Backwater Living

Design adheres to Sri Lankan building traditions—whitened walls, timber elements and manicured lawn—that envelop genuine elements such as the well-beloved “thadippura” (a timber-framed studio with king-size bed and working nook), the cozy 1 BHK villa, and a large 3 BHK villa with a blend of AC and non-AC rooms. Throughout these rooms, verandahs, gazebos and balconies entice guests out of doors, out towards the water, and into the appreciation of the simplicity of the site.

Warm Hospitality, Everybody’s Welcome

 Guests consistently mention the “peace and calm,” “homely food,” and unexpected pet-friendliness—with even an in-house pup, Lexi, stealing hearts.

Practicality That’s Combined with a Rustic Touch of Charm

Food is limited, but the common kitchen and staff are very accommodative—a relief for those who enjoy home-style or customized food. Outdoor facilities like bonfire, barbecue, and garden seating highlight its casual vibe. Also included are free parking, Wi-Fi, and power back-up—frank, but thoughtful essentials.
