Gokarna is definitely becoming one of the most preferred places for a beach vacation, especially to Bangaloreans. Sure, goa is great but it is crowded too. A vacation should leave you relaxed and rejuvenated and that is exactly what a place like Gokarna delivers. Gokarna has been witnessing tourist visits only from the last couple of years and as a result, the place is yet to progress when it comes to tourist accommodations. While there are a few hotels and home stays in Gokarna, most of them are usually booked, especially during the season. Fret not, we've found a place just a little outside of town for your next weekend getaway to Gokarna.
Kinara Stay
Kinara Stay is a home stay near Gokarna, the place is located in Kumta, within an hour's drive from Gokarna. Just 630 kms away from Bangalore, the place is right in between Gokarna and Murudeshwara on National Highway 66. Its proximity to several tourist attractions definitely earns it some brownie points. The property has both AC and Non AC deluxe rooms and it also offers family rooms that can accommodate up to 10 people. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated, strict attention is paid to cleanliness and the same can be witnessed in the upkeep of the rooms. The place definitely makes you feel at home.
Dining at Kinara Stay
The accommodation charges includes complimentary breakfast and dinner. The place serves delicious vegetarian local cuisine that will have you going for a second serving. Non vegetarians do not have to fret as the place serves non vegetarian food too but only on request. The guests are required to notify the staff regarding the same while booking the property. The place is close to many beaches and you can gorge on some delicious seafood for lunch at one of the shacks at the beach.
Stepping out
You can't go on a vacation and not explore. The USP of Kinara Stay is its proximity to the best tourist places. Pristine beaches such as Honnali beach, Om beach, Handigon beach, Ramanagindi beach, Dhareswara beach and more are just a drive away from the property. The place is also quite close to the majestic Shiva temple near the beach in Murudeshwara and other pilgrim places. Not much of a beach person? No problem. The oh-so-beautiful jog falls is barely two hours away from the homestay. A drive through the lush greenery will leave you feeling refreshed even before reaching the place. One can also visit the grand Yana rocks while staying at Kinara Stay. This place can also be a pit stop before heading to Goa as the place is situated just 160 kms from Goa. A day or two of relaxation at Kinara Stay after a party fuelled vacation in Goa will definitely help you detox.
Kinara Stay is definitely one of the best homestays in Gokarna owing to its strategic location, home like feel, and facilities offered,
