About Tag und Nacht

What is a homestay?

Homestay is an Indian phenomena started, in fact, here in Kerala and is supposed to have emerged from the times when we, Indians, considered (we still do!) it a huge honour to have guests – particularly foreign guests - in our homes.

Nowadays the concept has become wider and more a „bed and breakfast“ like - guests are accomodated in the family home, but in most cases (like our) they have their own entrance, facilities and they can spend as little or as much time with the host family as they choose.

In a homestay you will get a plenty of individual attention and local knowledge if you wish so. There is a chance to experience moments of Indian way of life in a close-up.

Be sure that you will be treated as guests and everything advised or offered to you will be from the heart and of best intentions.

What can we offer?

Our homestay has cozy, clean & spacious rooms to offer.

Each room has its own WC & shower, one of them is equipped with a bathtub, A/C facility is possible in all the rooms except two rooftop rooms that have high ceilings and therefore no need for A/C. One - a triple room is equipped with a TV - a suitable option for families with kids or smaller circles of friends. Otherwise we are confident Fort Kochi has so many interesting sides to explore and there is simply no time for TV. Free Wi-Fi with much better connection then in most homestays around is though an option instead.

We are situated in a peaceful and friendly area of Mackenzie Garden, only 10-15 minutes walk from the very centre and near to the beach (800 m), right opposite the famous Naval Maritime Museum. Close to our house is a good Ayurvedic health centre.

In the evenings you can watch the stars from our spacious roof terrace. In the mornings we offer you a home-made mix of indian and european style breakfast and teach you how to eat with your fingers Indian way.

Besides a comfortable room and bed, there are more services you can receive here in our homestay.

- Help with local transportation – we will arrange friendly drivers both for the inside destinations within Fort Kochi and outside – to Ernakulam, other parts of Kochi, as well as outside the city.
