PRIVACY

Privacy, Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom

The sister property of Malabar House, Privacy is the ultimate 'backwater' retreat. Lying on the shores of Lake Vembanad, just 1 ½ hours south of Cochin, this heavenly little place comprises 2 cottages. One cottage (the suite) sits on the very edge of the lake and comprises a bedroom with en suite bathroom and sitting room and is a modern construction. The other cottage is a beautiful old, re-constructed traditional Malayali house. It is made almost entirely of wood and comprises 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. It is warm and cosy and set back a little from the lakeside. Both boast long verandahs, a lush green garden and the ultimate in lake and sunset views, together with wonderful artefacts scattered all around the interiors. Fully staffed, it is the ideal place to come on your own or with friends and is a place where you really can get away from the masses and completely switch off for a few days or weeks. The perfect place to read, write, take gentle boat rides on the lake and in the maze of inland canals. Or, simply sit on the verandah and watch life on the lake unfolding silently before you. It has been decorated in the same stunning style as Malabar House, with similar colour schemes and colonial-style furniture.

ACCESS: is by air to Cochin from Bombay, Goa, Madras (Chennai) and Bangalore, followed by a 1 ½ hour road journey; or by road from Munnar, Trivandrum, the 'backwaters', Kanam and Thekkady.

RESERVATIONS: For reservations please contact your tour operator, your local travel agent, or the hotel direct.
