When you choose a homestay in Alleppey, you are not just booking a room; you are stepping into a world of tranquility. Our lakeside homestay in Alleppey offers an intimate connection with the famous backwaters of Kerala.

“The backwaters here have a rhythm of their own. Early morning mist, birdsong, the soft sound of oars — that is what Evaans Casa is built around.”
— Jackson Louis, Founder, Evaans Casa

Our homestay in Alleppey sits right on the edge of the vast Vembanad Lake, the longest lake in India. This unique location means you wake up to the gentle lapping of water against the shore and the sight of traditional houseboats gliding by. The lake is not just a backdrop; it’s a living ecosystem that changes with the tides, offering a different view every hour.
Staying at our homestay in Alleppey gives you direct access to the water. You can step out of your room and onto the jetty, where our canoe is tied up, ready for a quick paddle into the narrower canals. Many guests spend their mornings just sitting by the water, watching the local fishermen cast their nets or the kingfishers dive for their breakfast.
From our homestay in Alleppey, you are just a short walk from the village of Kumarakom, famous for its bird sanctuary.

Another must-do is a visit to the Alleppey lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the backwaters and the Arabian Sea.

One of the most authentic experiences you can have from our homestay in Alleppey is attending a local temple festival.

For a quieter cultural immersion, visit the Mullackal Temple during the Thaipooyam festival in January or February. You’ll see devotees carrying kavadis (ornate structures) and the air fills with the sound of traditional drums. This is a side of Kerala that few tourists get to see, and our homestay in Alleppey can arrange for a local guide to accompany you.
The best time to book your homestay in Alleppey is from November to February, when the weather is cool and pleasant. The backwaters are calm, and the skies are clear, perfect for boat rides and outdoor activities. If you want to see the backwaters at their most lush, visit just after the monsoon in September or October, when the water is high and the greenery is vibrant.
However, even the monsoon season (June to August) has its charm. The rain brings a fresh smell to the air, and the lake swells, creating a dramatic landscape. Our homestay in Alleppey offers cozy indoor spaces where you can enjoy a cup of chai while watching the rain. Just keep in mind that some boat services may be limited during heavy rains.
When booking your homestay in Alleppey, consider staying for at least three nights to fully experience the backwaters. Many guests try to cram everything into two days, but the real magic happens when you slow down. Book directly with us for the best rates and personalized service, and ask about our package that includes a sunset cruise and a cooking demonstration.
Also, plan your arrival in the afternoon so you can catch the sunset from our deck. The light on the lake is incredible, and you can unwind with a fresh coconut water or a chilled beer from our small bar. If you have dietary restrictions, let us know in advance; our kitchen can prepare Jain, vegan, or gluten-free meals upon request.
Check-in is at 1 PM and check-out is at 11 AM. We can accommodate early arrival or late departure if the room is available, but please inform us in advance.
