“Absolutely wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2012

Had planned to take my in-laws (entire family - group of 10) to Coorg for couple of days and had therefore done a lot of research before deciding on The Jade homestay. It was imperative to get 10/10 (I hope people can understand why) and Kabir and his family made sure that I did. We stayed there for 2 nights and it was a fantastic experience right from the booking till goodbye. Jade is very comfortable, scenic, serene and extremely beautiful. It is maintained exactly as shown in their website. Kabir is a great host and so are his Mom and wife (Megha).

Food is excellent. I told Kabir that if my MIL & FIL liked the food, it had to be really great. We are 100% vegetarians and to make it even more tricky there were some 5 odd vegetables that were out of our scope. But that was no challenge for Kabir & family. All of us loved the food. We had 3 small kids with us and Kabir ensured that non-spicy preparation is done for the kids. They also packed sandwiches for us in early morning as we had to go for an early start.

There is a small play area for kids and the hosts have placed some toys as well so that kids can allow you to have peaceful time. There is good open space – couple of gazebos where you can have your tea, hammocks, place for bon-fire and there is water stream flowing in a private land nearby (not suitable for kids though as the rocks are slippery). Coffee plantations are maintained very well and Kabir gives a wonderful tour. There are 5 rooms in total and 1 TV room. These are adjacent to Kabir’s home. So, you have the required personal space.

On the overall location, this place is in south of Coorg after Nagerhole forest. If you intent to cover Medikeri and the usual tourist spots in North Coorg, Jade would not be convenient. If you intent to cover Nagerhole, Iruppu Falls (amazing falls where you can go right under them – absolutely safe as they have built iron structure on which you stand) and venture into Wayanad – Jade is the place to stay.

Bottom-line: Jade experience is just too good and Kabir & family go out of the way to make your stay a memorable one. Our family had 3 generations and every individual had a great time. I would love to go there again and would recommend the same to everyone. All the best to Kabir and Megha.

Room Tip: If you have kids, go for the 2 rooms in the front. Kabir would guide you anyways.

“A Great Time All the Way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

If you're one of those who need a lot of convincing to make up their mind about a place, be assured I felt the same way. The Jade turned out to be comfortable, secluded, peaceful, scenic and absolutely beautiful. Coupled with that was the hospitality of the hosts Kabir & Megha. The food is so fresh and authentic Coorgi. It is so tasty that you'll need to bid goodbye to your diet for a while.
Pork, chicken, mutton, akki roti, dosa, aloo subzi were just some of the things that we feasted on. Added to this was the amazing desserts which the hostess would whip up. They were so sensitive that they always cooked something separately for kids.
When one of us was unwell, Kabir's mom who oversees the food preparation made us a glass of home remedial lemon juice. These folks are so hospitable! Kabir also took us for a 1.5 hour trek up a part of the way to the Brahmagiris.
Bottom line: You won't be disappointed, but instead you'll be spoilt and will enjoy a great time. All the best Kabir and Megha. We'll certainly visit again.

Room Tip: All the rooms are good.

“Great hospitality!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

Home stays!! Its new concept in karnataka. I had plans to experience this since long. It was in the end of summer we had an chance to experience this at our own coorg!! Jade- Its an huge old heritage home located in country sides of coorg! It was an great break from our daily routines and summer heat of bengaluru.

This homestay reminds me of our own culture and villge ambience. the place is very spacious and th hospitality is simply great!

“Amazing experience, awesome food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

This was our first experience in a homestay so were a little skeptical as to what to expect. However as soon as we reached Jade, it was love at first sight...
The location is excellent, surrounded by greenery and nestled within the Brahmagiri hills. The rooms are clean and well maintained. This place has a charm of its own.
Kabir and Megha are great hosts who always made us feel at home. There are lot of places to see around and Kabir was a great help with the roadmaps to these places. In fact we kept calling him for directions once we were out site seeing and he was happy to help us.
Aunty ( Kabirs mom) cooks wonderful food and we got a good taste of the coorg cuisine.
All in all, it was a wonderful trip and if we were to go there again, we would not think of any other place than Jade.
