A House boat is a country craft better known as 'Kettuvallam' in Malayalam language. These boats were used for the transportation of goods from the isolated villages to the towns. With the emergence of more sophisticated transportation, the 'Kettuvallams' became less popular. Now these 'Kettuvallams' are back again as a major tourist attraction with lots of modification in the architecture. It is about 70 feet long and has a width of about 14 feet in the middle and tapers at the ends. The boats are made up of local wood and other eco-friendly materials. All these 'Kettuvallams' are being made out of Bamboo mats, bamboo poles, coir ropes, Coconut Fibre, coir mats etc. The main wood used to manufacture these 'Kettuvallam' is known as Arotocarpus [Anjili in Malayalam].

The boats are fully furnished to attract the tourist. Some have single apartment for two persons and some have twin apartments for four persons. Apart from furnishing they have sun bathing deck, a spacious living room with front view, comfortable bamboo chairs suitable for a chit-chat, a well built kitchen and European model toilets for the convenience of the tourist. Traditional lanterns are used as light for illumination, well designed furniture are arranged inside to have a comfortable stay. Each house boat has three crew members (Captain, Cook and Engine driver).
