Vanakkam! Mahabs Homestay Villa is an individual property situated near the Buckingham canal and is a minute away from all major monuments in Mamallapuram. The villa is in a quiet street yet located in the heart of Mamallapuram. A cozy place to spend your weekends with your family and friends and also a great space for small parties and gatherings. The entire property is for the guests which they can enjoy with full privacy. Our property is 1 km away from the beach.
