Stayed in lake view cottage, the property location is beside vembanad lake, view is excellent. Atmosphere is relaxed. Food can be ordered from inhouse kitchen which tatses good and useful option for vegetarians. Order well in advance for timely delivery. Hardly 2 km from govt jetty to reach muhamma on other side of lake. Weather can be unpredictable.

Stay in the lap of nature. Lakeside cottages provide a great view of the serene lake and it's surroundings. Rooms are spacious with all facilities included. Organic garden with variety of fruits and vegetables is a value addition. A wonderful place to be with family 😊😊

Had a wonderful stay at Illikalam Lakeside Cottages. The hospitality was excellent, and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed the guided walk through their spice, fruit, and vegetable plantation, where we learned about the plants, tasted fresh fruit and farm-made honey, and even got to try fishing. The peaceful lakeside setting and waking up to the calm backwaters were truly relaxing. They also helped with contacts for cabs, auto-rickshaws, boats, houseboats, and other services. We booked through Memmsta Hotel, and the whole experience was smooth and memorable.
