Parveen was a wonderful host and an expert guide, taking guests to all the trails and showing rare birds sighting. Has a swimming pool on rooftop. Well maintained property.Posted on Peter DsouzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jewel Homes is located a convenient 1 minute ride / 10 minute walk to Thattekad Bird Sanctuary. Praveen – who is in-charge of the property is an excellent and knowledgeable birder who can set up birding walks or trips to local places of interest. The furniture and washrooms are well maintained and clean and the same goes for the swimming pool on the terrace! All rooms have AC for when the weather gets hot and humid. They served delicious and hearty breakfast and can organise meals also or arrange from the one major restaurant just across from a pond which separates the property from the main road. Birding began even before we started for the day – 2 large mulberry trees and a row of Coral Berry bushes on the property attract a wide variety of birds at dawn. A Malabar giant squirrel also visited one evening. The pond opposite too has its own share of water birds. We had a peaceful, comfortable and enjoyable stay. Go for it!Posted on Saleesh KumarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
