Jewel Homestay was absolutely perfect for us. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer and just stopped off for a day. We had requested Diju for veg homestyle food... read more and we were greeted by a piping hot spread of a Kerala meal served on a banana leaf. The sanctuary fence is just outside the property so we saw a malabar hornbill and lots of egrets and heard the call of a black hooded oriole in the evening as well as the morning. It's a special kind of magic to be woken up by birdsong, and this place rewards you with that in spades! We had come woefully unprepared but Diju arranged for the perfect guide, Danish, lent us his binoculars and rode down 40 km early in the morning to join us for our expedition. If you get the opportunity, please ask for Danish--- he's amazing. We spotted a pair of malabar hornbills several times, a honey buzzard, a fish owl and a wide range of passerine birds including scarlet minivets, malabar parakeets, several sunbirds and woodpeckers among others. But the highlight was something that only Danish could achieve: a rare sighting of a bay owl from just 6 feet away, and a pair of frogmouths just 4-5 feet above us.... All this was only possible because Diju went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable with each thoughtful detail that catered to our needs before we even felt it. I can't wait to come back, and this time I'll certainly be here for longer to enjoy all the birding trails, warm hospitality and the absolute complete tranquility that is getting rarer with the inexorable march of time.

Good place to stay with family. I stayed four days in this resort. My kids enjoyed the swimming pool facilities. Beautiful site seeing places available near by the resort.

We had an unforgettable stay for 5 days, in Jewel Homes during the third week of May 2023. The Host Mr Diju, an exceptional personality, was very kind and thoughtful... read more throughout our stay to ensure us the best possible comfort and experience. Rooms are very spacious, well furnished and maintained at high standards. An A Class property, in a prime location for great value. The person in charge of the Kitchen, Housekeeping and all in all was very friendly, who has served simple homely food to our satisfaction. Our idea was to take a break from all our routine and busy schedules and to stay away from home. Jewel Homes was truly a Home away from Home for both of us. Enjoyed the company of Flying squirrels, Horn bills and many other rare birds around us, It was really a unique treat during our stay. Trips were arranged for us to Salim Ali Birds Sanctuary, a Boat trip to Boothathanket Dam and a jungle safari accompanied by a professional Birder Mr Vinod. Had a comfortable and safe stay in the property. We left the place with sweet memories.

We were looking for good homes/hotels to stay with the family only for a short refresh(3-4hrs from early morning 3AM) and almost all of the resorts were money oriented but... read more finally found this home stay near Thattekad bird sanctuary, Owner Diju was very helpful and the stay was quite comfortable, Silent environment with birds sounds and nice view of the lake from the rooms, breakfast was good(though only option was puttu and aapam, he had requested the cook to provide us Dosa and sambar as requested), Great service!
