The staff was very friendly and the room was nice and clean. Really worth your money. Quiet place to take some rest. It is better to come with a 2-wheeler, to reach easily Mahabalipuram if this is your goal. I liked it a lot.

The Mahizh Home

Mahabalipuram

Boasting a patio with city views, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden, The Mahizh Home can be found in Mahabalipuram, close to Mahabalipuram Beach and 43 km from Arignar Anna Zoological Park.

Mahizh Home is a two storey villa with two bedrooms and a shared living area on each of the floors. The ground floor was all ours for the 24 hours we stayed over. The place is airy and comfortable, with marble floors suited to the environment. But what made our short stay special is the 5 stars service delivered by Mani, the caretaker of the property. This is a cream of a person who has been really helpful in all aspects of our stay (providing accurate advance information (easy to join on WhatsApp), sending a taxi in the wee hours of the morning at the Railway station to pick us up, ordering food (dinner and breakfast and delivering it), allowing for early check-in and late check-out. Not very often in almost 50 years of travels, we have met such a kind and dedicated person. Whenever you travel to Mahabilipuram consider Mahizh Home first. Note that this villa would be ideal for friends / family groups of up to four couples.

I didn’t have breakfast or food at Vinodhara as I met a friend at another hotel and we ate in various other places in Mahabalipuram. The staff were really friendly and helpful and accommodating. There were no issues with booking the taxi at 3am to Chennai airport, everything ran smoothly. My room was basic but I had absolutely everything I needed: a comfy bed, a bathroom with hot water and a shower with good flow and a fan

    I was on a holiday with my japanese friend and my sister. The homestay was the best to experience local culture and home environment . We were all taken care of by the host and domestic staff. Property has lovely rooms and a terrace. Great garden and close to the UNESCO heritage sites.

    Great host who speaks English and arranged a well priced tour to the amazing archaeological sites for us. The room was clean and everything worked. The location is well away from the noisy streets and only steps from the beach. Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance, including local ones on the main road. Good value for money
