Set in well-tended gardens, this lovely heritage home reveals four large, character-filled rooms with high ceilings, lots of polished-wood touches, and antediluvian doors with ornate locks. There's also a more modern cottage attached. Owner Tony has a good-value houseboat (two/four people ₹6000/8000) and organises full-day canoe or village tours (₹900). It's just east of the bus stand.
