Accommodation in Fort Cochin

Guesthouse Secret Garden

…is a three star heritage guesthouse in Fort Cochin that offers finer accommodations than any home stay or hotel within a mid range budget; maybe better than what you can find even in the luxury bracket! We understand the importance of simple pleasures like an exotic garden view, a refreshing dip in the pool and that peace and quiet should be part of every holiday travel plan. With only 4 rooms at Secret Garden you can rest assured that you will get the all the attention (or privacy!) you need in our cozy hideaway located in a charming little neighborhood only a five-minute walk from Fort Cochin center.

From Iceland to India

Þóra Guðmundsdóttir, an architect from Iceland, along with her superb team of Kerala craftsmen has nurtured the old worn out heritage structures in this spacious property back to life so that guests can enjoy the grandeur of the past complemented by the comforts of the finest modern amenities.

The solid thick walls, terracotta tiled roofs and wooden ceilings keep the house cool on the warmest of days. Just beyond the spacious front veranda, a first class pool entices you to further refresh yourself and relax. Each guestroom is furnished with colonial and Kerala style furniture; elegant but never overdone. Morning yoga sessions are offered in the meditative back garden just off the back veranda where your breakfast is served. Additional guest facilities include computer/internet access, television, books, and bicycles. In fact the only difficult part of staying at Secret Garden is leaving; but then we hope you will always decide you must come back.

How to find our Secret Garden in Fort Cochin

Our little hotel is almost in the center of Fort Cochin, but it does require a few turn within domestic lanes. Before you come, we recommend you print out the map of Fort Cochin found on our web site and show it to your taxi or rickshaw driver. If you still have trouble finding us, ask your driver to call Faizal - his phone number is written on the map and he will be happy to guide you in smoothly.
