Brunton Boatyard - Cgh Earth

Perfect Heritage Escape in Fort Kochi Brunton Boatyard is a beautiful blend of colonial charm and modern comfort. The harbor views, spacious heritage-style rooms, and warm, attentive staff made our stay unforgettable. Dining was exceptional, especially the seafood grill and local Kerala dishes. We loved the complimentary sunset cruise and the eco-friendly touches throughout the property. Truly a serene and memorable stay. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel with excellent staff and facilities. The restaurants serve delicious local dishes as well as international cuisine. The only downside is the area outside the hotel property, particularly near the ferry bay. It is beyond the control of the hotel but it is sad to see how the local government has ignored a naturally beautiful location to stray dogs, foul smelling garbage, poor drainage and abandoned public utility works etc.

One of my top ten hotels anywhere. World-class service and comfort with gracious staff. I will be back!

Absolutely superb hotel from all points of view. Unbeatable location, proximity to Ferry & the famous Water Metro. The suites as well as the normal room are excellent - the suite is pure indulgence. Service is fantastic with very helpful and attentive staff. Great breakfast and the staff at breakfast place ARMOURY deserve special mention for courtesy and efficiency. Great for small children. The sunset cruise is not to be missed. Many points of interest are walkable and TukTuks freely available if not inclined to walk. All round great experience esp in the monsoon

One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! The room offered a stunning sea view, and the service was warm and attentive throughout our stay. The à la carte breakfast was delicious, with a wide range of fresh options. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the welcome drinks and coconut hair flowers — a true example of excellent hospitality.

Everything was excellent! The hospitality was outstanding. We were taken care of even before we arrived until the airport. This was beyond our expectation. And of course, the food was good, the rooms really beautiful (bed was very comfortable). The hotel reminded us of the “Raffles hotel” in Singapore. Also, the fact that it is environmentally friendly. Will definitely stay there when am next in Cochin. And if this is the standard of cgearth, I’d want to try all their other hotels too. Thank you very much. I had an excellent time with my sisters.

We recently enjoyed a delightful staycation at the Burnton Boatyard in Fort Kochi, a property that exudes colonial charm and understated luxury. Check-in was seamless, and we were soon welcomed into our exquisitely appointed room. The majestic poster bed and meticulously maintained period furniture added a touch of historic grandeur, creating an ambience that felt like stepping back in time. Evenings at Burnton Boatyard are particularly memorable. We were treated to an English-style high tea, followed by a complimentary 45-minute boat ride along the harbour. This tranquil cruise offered a close-up view of Kochi’s vibrant maritime life and set the tone for a relaxed, immersive experience. Dinner at The History Fine Dining was a highlight. The expansive dining hall—with its old-world elegance and subtle grandeur—was the perfect setting. The attentive staff went above and beyond in explaining the intricacies of the menu, making the meal both informative and indulgent. Breakfast the next morning at The Armoury Café was refreshingly different from the usual buffet setups. A charming trolley laden with a variety of breads was wheeled to our table, and we appreciated the made-to-order service. The selection ranged from local delicacies to international favorites, all served promptly. Special mention to the chefs for the lovely, flaky pastries—easily a standout. Do note: the outdoor areas can attract mosquitoes, so some repellent might be handy. Also, the occasional sounds from nearby ro-ro ferries are part of the working harbour's character. All in all, Burnton Boatyard is a splendid blend of heritage charm, thoughtful hospitality, and culinary finesse—well worth a visit.

Overall a comfortable and cozy stay. We'll maintained property with best location. Tuk-Tuk rider Sanesh was always very nice and polite. Special thanks to Jasmine for making us feel at home. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of variety. And best staff and best hotel in Kochi. Thank you.

Delightful hotel freshly fitted out with a style that harks back to the charms of the past. Superb rooms with the tallest bed I have ever seen and rightly provided with the necessary step up bench. The meal in the History room was a delight and meeting the chef was a nice touch. A very pleasant stay.

Excellent location wonderful local food and splendid service, especially the high tea. Only one request - change the local guide on the morning walking tour. This guy just does not know how to make the tour interesting.
