Nestled in the picturesque village of Punnekkad, Kothamangalam, our property offers a tranquil and rejuvenating escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We provide a perfect blend of modern comforts and rustic charm, ensuring that every guest finds a "home away from home" in the heart of God’s Own Country.

Our Story and Heritage

Hornbill Nest is a premier property managed under the Pazhayaveetil Annex Casa umbrella. Our history is rooted in the tradition of authentic Keralan hospitality, where every guest is treated with personalized care. Originally envisioned as a retreat for nature lovers and birdwatching enthusiasts, we have grown into a leading destination that balances environmental beauty with premium guest experiences.

At Hornbill Nest, we pride ourselves on offering warm hospitality to make your stay truly special. Whether you are a solo traveler seeking peace or a family looking for a private getaway, our property is designed to provide a welcoming atmosphere and cherished memories.

An Unrivaled Location

Our greatest asset is our seamless connection to nature. We are located within walking distance of the legendary Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary—also known as the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary—one of the most important avian protected areas in India.

This unique positioning means that the sanctuary's diverse avifauna often visits our property throughout the year. From the Malabar Grey Hornbill to the elusive Sri Lanka Frogmouth, nature is literally at your doorstep. For photographers and birders, we provide specialized facilities for close-up photography, ensuring you capture the perfect shot in a serene environment.
