Houseboats called `kettuvallom’ in the local language meaning `knotted boat’, the modern day houseboat is a reincarnation of the traditional canoe used to transport items of daily home use from the mainland to homes cut away by the winding waterways known as `backwaters’. The term backwaters are used to denote a network of canals and waterways stretching two hundred kilometers from Kollam in the south through Alleppey and Kumarakom in Central Kerala up to Kodungaloor.

Genuine " Kettuvalloms " - meaning hulls are stitched together
Genuine Merbau wood flooring unlike plywood or coir carpeting used by other boats.
Partitions for all areas have textured finish with terra color paint to give a mud wall finish
The wooden ceiling in the living/dining area of the houseboats has 200 fiber optic lighting points to emulate the "stars" during the night and gives a cozy feeling.
Front living area and bedrooms have a beautiful wooden ceiling
All furniture on board is contemporary in nature finished in wood, cane and glass
The bedrooms have complete glass windows stretching across 3/4ths of the wall to offer the guests a complete and uninterrupted view of the backwaters while traveling, unlike other boats that have small windows with heavy grills that offer a poor view
Each bed is located at the exact height of the window for a good view even while lying on the bed.
Additionally there is a seating area along the length of the entire wall and window
Each room has a dressing mirror, luggage compartment, writing table, wardrobe & attached bathroom
