Mamallapuram (or Mahabalipuram) is situated 40 km South of Chennai (Madras). There are many interesting sites in Mamallapuram itself and its surroundings. Plenty of restaurants offer Western and Indian food, there are lodges and souvenir shops. A huge wild beach makes the place even more attractive for sun lovers, but only for good swimmers.
The house is 1 km away from the tourist centre, in a small and quiet village, surrounded by rice fields, cows, water buffaloes and goats. One big open room, well equipped kitchen, big fridge with freezer, big single bed, shower, western toilet, A/C. One small guest room with tiny bathroom and separate kitchen.
It is very basic, but all you need is there - also scooter, Internet, laundry machine, generator.
A local girl comes in four times a week for cleaning.
6 friendly "girls" + 1 "boy"(5 dogs, 2 cats) live in the garden, on the veranda and the roof top. The cats go wherever they like. Usually no walks necessary, they just need to be fed and cuddled. Only when it rains, two of them have to be taken for a short walk once a day, as for some unknown reason they refuse to use their toilet in the garden when it is wet.
This house sit might be more convenient for a single person or for a younger couple who can squeeze into a 120 cm bed :) One last note: I’m a vegetarian and I’m grateful if you could avoid cooking meat, fish or any other sea food in my kitchen …
