Overview
Set beside the placid Kaithapuzha backwater in suburban Kochi, the Lake Symphony Resort is a delightful little eco friendly boutique resort set in stunningly beautiful surroundings. Lake Symphony offers a suite and deluxe cottage facing the backwater and a set of deluxe rooms set away from the waterline, all equipped with modern amenities. Private sit outs in all the rooms look out at a row of Chinese fishing nets, a vast spread of backwater beyond and the Kochi skyline on the western horizon. A small pool set on the lawn between the lake facing cottages is fringed by rows of pretty flowers and stunted palms. Further on, beside the water’s edge in a clearing beneath a clump of trees, tables and chairs set beneath palm thatched umbrellas that serves as the resorts dining area.
Look out from the expansive ceiling to floor windows, past the row of Chinese fishing nets; a dawn with a marmalade sunrise, bloated by early morning haze. Stirred by a gentle breeze, the water ripples and gurgles, fishermen go about the day’s business, canoes float past serenely, fishing nets dip ponderously into the lake; make friends and you could get a part of the days catch for lunch. Numerous birds call out across the humid air elevating the soul. Slowly, life’s little secrets come to life, made profound. Drawing the day to an end, fluffy pink cotton candy clouds float into view riding a gentle evening breeze, slowly spreading across the western horizon.

Accommodation
Built of eco friendly mud plastered walls that breathe freely and keep the interiors insulated from the heat outside, the cottages and rooms consists of a bedroom, a tastefully furnished living area, a fully equipped bathroom and a sit out that looks out at a row of Chinese fishing nets and a spread of backwater beyond.
