Ayesha Manzil Homestay
Ayesha Manzil is a beautiful, old colonial style mansion overlooking the Arabian sea. The bungalow was built in 1862 by Murdoch Brown , an Englishman who came to Tellicherry as a trader of the East India company. Murdoch Brown set up a 300 acre Cinnamon plantation, 10 kms away from this house, which still exists and is the only one of it's kind in the country.
All the rooms boast of period furniture and have been furnished with family heirlooms and antiques collected and restored by the present owner. There are 5 air conditioned rooms.
There is a unique private swimming pool reminiscent of the traditional Kerala temple pools. There is also fantastic 6 km long unpolluted beach.
