Happy Nest Homestay
Kelanajaru, Udupi
“Some places you visit. Some places you exhale in.”
Happy Nest is the second kind. Janet runs this quiet 2BHK villa in Santhekatte with the kind of warmth that keeps guests coming back, and they do come back. The regulars know what they've found here, and they're not giving it up easily. A few minutes from the beach, completely away from the crowd. That's the whole idea.
About this place
Happy Nest is a 2BHK first floor villa in Santhekatte, Udupi. Janet runs it herself, cooks for guests on request, and takes care of the place the way only an owner can. The ratings speak for themselves, and so do the repeat visitors. The villa has AC, WiFi, RO drinking water, solar geyser, and an extra bed if you need one. Food is available on request and when Janet cooks, it is proper home food, not something thrown together for guests. If you are looking for somewhere calm, private and genuinely peaceful with the beach just a short drive away, this is exactly that kind of place.

Our stay at the resort was truly wonderful and memorable. The place is peaceful, calm, and beautifully surrounded by nature — a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen was one of the best we’ve come across, fully equipped with all utensils and essentials, making it easy and enjoyable to cook together. We were actually returning from Bangalore in the morning and decided to visit this place since it was nearby — and we’re so glad we did. We had initially planned to visit Sigma, but cancelling that plan and coming here was absolutely worth it. A special thanks to the owner aunty, who was extremely humble, kind, and caring. Her warmth made our stay even more special. This is exactly what a resort should be — peaceful, comfortable, and filled with genuine hospitality. We had a beautiful experience and are already planning to visit again soon.
