  • "Extraordinary stay at John’s Farm and Home! We have had a very nice and warm welcome and all our stay has been wonderful in this nice family. The rooms and specially the bathroom are as spacious as pretty. And the food is amazing in taste, quality and variety. We have particularly enjoyed sharing a lot of time discussing with John and George - and Fr. Thomas who was there at the same time. Visiting the farm was also very interesting , from the hevea, to the latex workshop, the beehives. We just hope to come back another time! Thank you so much to all this nice family!"

  • "We had a very warm and loving welcome from Johns and his entire family. The stay was luxurious, clean and had enjoyed all the amenities. We were served traditional Kerala dishes with love and had the local experience. Nearby sunset view point was amazing, Elaveezhapoonchira had fantastic and beautiful sunrise view. Our back water experience is - one time life experience. All traditional Kerala temples are rich in architecture. Athirapalli waterfall is nature at its best. Elephant training camp (Kaprikadavu) is must and should place to visit in Kerala."

  • "We have spent 2 absolutely marvellous days here in John’s Farm & Home. It’s truly the most awesome homestay I’ve visited, and as tour operator I’ve seen quite a few! Hospitality was warm, sincere and true. Accommodation is first class with spacious , well equipped rooms and incomparable bathrooms. The whole area is full of experiences to make and places to discover. We experienced a 2 hour bicycle ride along the canal, a motorcycle ride on a Bullet 350 and a walk about the farm. We are sure to be back! We wish the family God’s richest blessings and good business in the days to come."

    Hartswood family, Stow, Scotland

  • "Had many holidays and stayed in many homestays but John’s Farm is most amazing experience and it will “STAY” in our mind and remind us to visit again and again. Want to experience on Dec/Jan or monsoon again. I have no words to express how and when this family merged in us. We were so comfortable and happy felt as our extended family. No words to thank “Collector”, Unni, John, Biji and hats off and salute to “Amma”. The staff was also very hospitable. Enjoyed food and new goodies. Wait we are coming again."

    Madhu and Neelam, Lavasa, Pune

  • "Our stay here was for 2 days. Words are powerless to express our gratitude for the warmth and friendly, homely feeling that we experienced at the homestay. We ate Keralite delicacies to our heart content. The host were no longer strangers but an extended family of ourselves. Hope to see you all very soon again."
