Welcome to Havenwoods
Where the forest sets the pace
Havenwoods sits on the edge of Thekkady, the gateway to the Periyar Tiger Reserve — a landscape of cardamom and pepper plantations, mist-covered hills and cool mountain air.
Our rooms are simple and honest: solid wood furniture, spotless linen, hot water, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find. You come here for the wildlife, the walks and the weather — we take care of the rest.

Spotless rooms, genuinely warm people, and we could hear birds instead of traffic. Exactly what we drove six hours for.
The team arranged our Periyar boat tickets before we even arrived. My parents loved the quiet and the food nearby.
Simple, clean and honest — and the WhatsApp replies were the fastest of any hotel on our whole Kerala trip.
