The entire cottage is on pillars and two elephant statues on the front. PS. We do not have an elephant at the property. We have a traditional boat/canoe at our property. Our guests can sail to the beach by canoe, which will take about 30 minutes. Please note that self-canoeing is free of charge. However, it is chargeable if the assistance is required for canoeing. The guests must show a valid identity card before check-in. Please let us know if you need any taxi, auto rickshaw/tuk-tuk, houseboat & Ayurveda services.
