Situated within less than 1 km of Mullakkal Rajarajeswari Temple and 3.5 km of Alleppey Lighthouse, Kalappura Houseboats & Tours features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Alleppey. The property features lake and river views, and is 4.5 km from Alappuzha Railway Station. The boat has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. The whole experience was blast! In our opinion the boat we were at was better than many others we saw because it had and open rooftop where you could see this paradise while the breeze refreshes you. We tried new Indian foods, although a bit spicy they were excellent. Staff was amazing and very helpful and they offer you the possibility to do an excursion in a smaller boat to reach the smaller canals for a little extra money. WE LOVED IT!

Located in Alleppey, Why Not Houseboat offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the boat for the convenience of those who stay. The boat also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. This houseboat is fantastic. We saw others in the dock that looked run-down and old, but ours was beautiful. So comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The staff and skipper were great and looked after us so well without bothering us. The food was delicious and the bedroom and bathroom were surprisingly comfortable for a houseboat. This was easily the best houseboat in the dock. Go for this one.

Spice Coast Cruises - Houseboat, A CGH Earth Experience is located in Alleppey, 46 km from Cochin Shipyard, 12 km from St. Andrew's Basilica Arthunkal, and 14 km from Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary. It is set 46 km from Kochi Biennale and provides luggage storage space. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service. The highlight of our Kerela Holiday. Excellent service from all concerned. Our 3 boat staff were exceptional. Captains Joshy and Thankachan were so friendly, helpful, and informative and the chef Reji was a brilliant cook and fed us so well ( the Thali meal was the best we had in India). The converted rice barge was beautiful and comfortable ( aircon too) and they took us to loads of lovely and quiet places. Doing 2 nights is better as you see more natural places and quiet backwaters. It was also really good value and they took us to loads of places ( and on a small boat tour, to a church and cycling) and loads of food ( including afternoon tea and snacks).
