Overlooking the Kabani river, Riverloft is aptly placed for a thorough nature experience. Suitable for any group of upto 5 members maximum. The cottage is air conditioned and has one room with a loft, a balcony and a private bathroom. The lower bed can accommodate upto 3 people and the attic/loft bed upto 2. You will enjoy the variety in the farm and the thrill by the river. Could do some fishing, relax on the deck with the river view or sink into the outdoor tub on the deck.
The space
Riverloft is an elevated air conditioned cottage situated in a 2 acre farm by the banks of the river Kabani. As the name suggests, we have one room with a cozy attic, deck overlooking the Kabani river and a private bathroom. We grow, coffee, pepper, nutmegs, areca nuts, coconuts including other spices, vegetables, fruits and rice. The farm is situated by the road, providing ease of access. Right across where we are is a 300 acre paddy farming collective, which provides year round occupation for the numerous tribal villages surrounding it. Walking through these fields and among the tribes gives a real world feel of the life and culture of Wayanad.
The elaborate Kerala cuisine, the tribal traditions and local handicrafts add to the flavour of your stay here.
I personally love sitting by my campfire in the night here taking in the chill which settles during the night.
A game of cards on the cozy attic, an evening drink on the open deck and outdoor tub and barbecue by the campfire with your loved ones, will surely complete the experience. Cottage is within a fenced 2 acre farm. You may leave aside worries of how secure the place is.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire farm and the surroundings, the river bank, walkways by the river and the paddy fields in the village, etc.
Please note that the bathtub only has room temperature water connection and hot water is not available.
