The exact spot intended to be developed is the Manthuruthil island situated in Kuttanad. This name is derived from a small plot of land which was covered with mango groves in the past - Maav & Thurthu ie. an island of mango-trees. In the middle of the island is a typical Syrian Christian "Tharavadu" which goes back to three generations.

Kerala is more than a sliver of green on the tip of India. It is the land where the season never ends. It is a heaven of peace. Ted's Home Stay is situated in a village called Kaipuzha. Kaipuzha is a low-lying village in Northern Kuttanad.

It is known as a "Rice Bowl" as the occupation of villagers is the traditional paddy cultivation. The green structure of paddy fields, fringed by the coconut palms offers scenic beauty. The sunrise and the orange sunset over these vast stretches is a greenish feast for the eye.

Mr. Mathew Simon, 42 of Manthuruthil is a man of great energy. He was born and brought up in Kaipuzha and has enjoyed the outdoor life of an agriculturist from his adolescence. He is professionally trained in Hotel Management and Catering technology and also worked a stint as Instructor at the Poona Catering College. He has ten years experience, sailing all over the world and has much personal contact among people in foreign countries and is desirous of exploiting the openings in his own village for tourism.

Having ten years experience overseas, Mr. Simon knows what a foreigner expects in matters like Hygiene, sanitation and Transport Facilities. He has confidence about meeting such requirements and has taken up this venture as a personal challenge. The promoter hails from a family which can trace its ancestors back to many generations. They are a close-knit Syrian Christian family having a large number of members who are mostly middle class and settled in the village as agriculturists. In the present generation, howsoever, a good number from this family have settled in the US, Europe and the Middle-East as NRI's.

The power behind Mr Mathew Simon is his wife Mrs. Mathew (Kunjumol), a graduate in arts leading a peaceful life as a house wife with her three children. The eldest one Master. Teddy Mathew, is now studying in 10th grade .His younger sister Irene Mathew in Sixth grade and the youngest Terin Mathew is 7 months. Teddy and Irene are fond of music and dance.
