Paradise Holiday Cottage

We decided to stay at the Paradise Holiday cottages in Kudle, Gokarna, because staying in Paradise Holiday Cottages seemed mundane and it's safe to say that we made the best decision ever. We booked for a stone room but were upgraded to a wood room. All the rooms (or cottages) here have a small entryway that leads to the foyer with two seats where you can sit and hear the crickets. As you step inside there's a spacious bed, two windows to give you enough sunlight, a night table and two chairs. Maybe an additional shelf, stand or cupboard would be nice to complete the room. The bathroom was amazing! You walk down two steps into a luxe bathroom. There's hot water all the time, a regular bath and shower available here. Not sure if he is the owner or the manager, but Suraj was our primary host. Truly a hero! He made us feel at home here. When we asked him to arrange a scooter for us, the boy went the extra mile to make it happen. (renting a bike in Gokarna would cost around 300 INR a day and renting the same from Suraj would cost 450 INR a day. We preferred this option since the autorickshaw from Gokarna to the Cottage would cost 150 INR. ) The helpers, Nagraj and Shankar, were extremely helpful. They were available at all times and brought whatever we asked for instantly. We enjoyed sitting in the seating area outside the cottages. With the view of Kudle beach and it's blue water, the sound of gushing waves and a wholesome breakfast was our start to the day. One suggestion the food quality of the food isn't all that good. It's edible sure, just not very enjoyable. However, the Nutella banana pancake that I had were wonderful. Please note the Cottage is downhill from the main road. No auto rickshaws will agree to come down, no matter how much you insist on paying them. Driving a bike up and down on this downhill is a task and a half. Walking is strenuous too. It will take anywhere from 15 to 30 mins, from the main road to the Cottage and otherwise. Final word highly recommended! It takes a trek but is worth the work!

The cottage ambiance is good for a group of friends who like to be adventurous, as it's placed in between the hilly forest. As soon as we step out of our cottage, it's a beautiful view of Kudle beach. The wooden cottages are also very good, though we didn't stay there. Good support staff and food at their restaurant is always cooked & served fresh after you place the order. Quick response on inquiries and also for local transportation using rented bikes. Special mention to Suraj for all his support. The road and route to the cottage is very bad & the auto rickshaws do not go beyond a certain point and we need to walk a short distance on the muddy route to reach the cottage. We in fact fell once from 1 of the rented bike while riding through that passage, but managed to balance using our legs. It gets really spooky if you reach the cottage after it's dark as there are no street lights anywhere in the surroundings and even on the curvy roads on hill until you reach on top of the cottage. At times GPS also doesn't work, so you need get used to the route. Lot of frogs keep coming in the cottage even if its locked, though they don't seem to hurt anyone, but makes you feel little nervous during the stay. One of the staff was always quick to respond every time we approached & he helped catch them. We came across 5 frogs during our 2 days stay. After all it's a cottage in between the forest, so even though you maintain it clean, these creatures keep coming inside. Food at their restaurant was average but was little pricey, though we just had 2 meals during our stay. Can increase more options & rework on the prices. Overall it was a good & adventurous stay with friends. One of experience to people who like to try something different than usual places.

I had stayed in one of the stone cottages along with my parents for a long weekend. Overall it was a good experience. Positives- The Manager and support staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided guidance for our entire trip. Since we were travelling first time to Gokarna, having someone like that saved us a lot of worry. In fact the Manager had called a day in advance to notify us about the rains there. Which Paradise Holiday Cottage Manager does that? The rooms were cottage style and in hilly and forest like region which we usually don't experience in a city. Negatives The approach was very disappointing. One has to trek for about 15 mins before reaching the Hotel from the main road. There is no road and one has to climb/descend rocks. I wont suggest that for senior citizens. Also the nearby Kudle beach is also through a fairly difficult trek and certainly not for seniors. It takes around 20 mins to reach. Because of these conditions we always were bound to come back to the Paradise Holiday Cottage before sunset as it is difficult to trek in the dark. And we were also bound to have dinner from the Paradise Holiday Cottage. Food was little expensive and very simple. Only veg food is served.

While the approach to the property is difficult, the caretaker Suraj personally escorted us from the Om beach to the Paradise Holiday Cottage. This is at a great location and we got a cottage here at throw-away prices. We had break fast (not inclusive in price) (pancakes, great tulsi tea and mangalore buns) , which was better than any fancy cafe , at a vantage point on the cliff, overlooking the sea. The cottages are basic, but well ventilated, with mosquito nets. We would have appreciated if they had an AC installed since it is extremely humid in Gokarna, but overall no complaints. In order to reach the Kudle beach you need to trek for around 20/25 mins and the trek is steep. Om beach is also close by. They even offered free dinner and breakfast as well as accommodation to our driver. If we ever visit Gokarna again, we will definitely stay here. Thanks to the staff for ensuring we had a wonderful stay.

This cottage is around kudle and om beach. The cottage was very rustic and it brought back memories of my grandma's house. Suraj and Sahana at the reception office were very kind and helpful. Nagraj, the bell boy haven't seen someone so hardworking. I always saw him engaged serving customers. He deserves a big applause. Food is available at the cottage but I found it average. Probably cook must taste the food before serving. Probably include sugar or sachets when serving if needed. If you're a foodie - lower your expectations. Location has a beach view. Peaceful unless people living in neighbouring cottage makes any noise. Overall I had a nice stay.

It is situated in a very serene location away from all the city noise. Nice view of the kudle Beach. It is close to Kudle and Om beach. Reaching the property is a bit of an adventure as the road to the property is not very easily accessible. A very pleasant stay and complete value for money. Very friendly staff. The food served was simple yet good. Suraj who manages the entire operation is a very nice and helpful chap. Also, a special mention about Nagraj who served us, always had a smile on his face and very prompt with his service. Overall was a good stay. One thing that could be rectified is making the adjacent rooms a bit sound proof.

We stayed here for 2 nights in December. Suraj took care of all the requirements and made sure that our stay was comfortable. This place is located on the hills near the beach and road is tricky to reach by personal vehicle. Beaches are nearby but through rough terrain and confusing directions. Our friendly cottage staff Nagraj assisted us in going to the beach. Food options were limited but prepared fresh and delicious. I especially liked the egg curry by the in-house cook. If you're looking for a decent peaceful and relaxing stay and don't mind short walks to the beach. I will highly recommend this place.

Very good and peaceful stay amidst nature. Staff is very good and supportive. Looking forward to visit again. Me and my family had a really good time. Our daughter was so thrilled to live amidst nature. She has asked me to get her a new plant in our penthouse balcony garden. The view over sea is very beautiful. The sunset is really romantic from the Paradise Cottage. The food was good and very tasty. One should definitely try out Masala Papad. They even accept payment through Paytm which was very nice as we were running low on cash. Overall really pleasant stay.

Nice room and services. It's a vegetarian restaurant available if you want to order something. Good food also. Totally worthy to stay here. Om beach and kindle beach hardly 1km from this property.

Locations is excellent, huts and cleanliness is also excellent, but service is very poor. They are not providing water which is essential.

The stay was comfortable. Rooms aren't new but it's value for money. Having a personal vehicle to reach the destination is a boon. Approach road is something to look out for. That is the only big issue. Otherwise a peaceful stay

Positive: 1). Friendly staff, 2). Nice view, 3). Good location, 4). Tasty food Negative: 1). To get in and out of the resort you have to literally trek for 300-400 meter. You can not take heavy luggage to the place. Auto will drop 300-400 meter before the resort. 2). Cottages are not maintained properly in terms of cleanliness, hygiene, safety from insects. 3). Better to carry own mattress, bed sheets, mosquito net and blanket if you wish to have good sleep.

Had wonderful experience. Great place to stay. Was so peaceful. I just loved my visit. Worth and pleasant?

We enjoyed 2 wonderful nights in the “Wooden Deluxe” room which was basically a beautiful 2-story tree house with a massive, super clean bathroom. The setting is right on a cliff overlooking the beach, and you feel like you’re just nestled in the jungle, away from any of the busyness of Gokarna. The staff were very helpful at helping coordinate all our rides to and from, and finding drivers for us to go on some day trips. Highly recommended if you like rustic nature retreats!

Awesome location and view. The property is right between Kudle Beach and Om Beach. Vicinity to the beach is an advantage. The other good things about this place is the hospitality, Wi-Fi and Silence.. The only negative aspects about this place are bad approach road (Mud road. My vehicle is low floor and had to take some hits from misplaced boulders) and Electric Backup (while I was there, there was no power for almost the entire day and there is no power backup).

Enjoyed a lot.
Peaceful place, relaxing, and enjoyed nature
