Makara Village - Gokarna

Makara village is a peaceful, off-the-highway motel, which offers polite services for you and your family. The rooms are spacious, but the amenities are quite basic. Its more of a bed and breakfast kind of arrangement.  However, they are neat and clean, so you will not have any complaints. The attached bath room is quite preliminary. We were told that there is 24/7 hot-water supply, but we had to manage with the hot water, which the staff used to supply. The ambiance of the restaurant gives you a rustic feeling and we totally enjoyed the feeling of dining amidst  all the plantain trees.  The food was simple (read less rich, spicy, and oily) and we totally enjoyed the serve (especially, the dinner) after an entire day out! The staff is very helpful and courteous. 
The resort is about 12 kms from the Gokarna temple and the beach. The famous Om Beach is about 20 kms from here. If you are driving down the North-Karnataka coast line, the resort is about 66 kms from the Murudeshwara temple. On the way, don't miss out the Shiva temples - Gunavante and Nagareshwara, and Idagunji (Ganapati). If you visit the up-hill temple at Murudeshwara, you will not miss the legendary story of the temple and the Aatma linga.
