I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing guest house with a group of nine, including four children, and I cannot recommend it enough, especially for families. The staff members were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always ready to assist with anything we needed.

It was truly a unique experience. The overall cleanliness. Friendly hospitality from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, modern amenities in the room and bathroom. (Netflix, Prime Video, wide-screen smart TV with high-speed Wi-Fi connection) The dinner we had was the best dinner we have ever had in Sri Lanka for such a reasonable price. The breakfast was very delicious with variety. This is truly the best accommodation we have had in Sri Lanka. They always have their own unique identity. That's great,

I had an amazing stay here and truly felt like part of the family. The hosts were incredibly warm, caring and always made sure I was comfortable during my stay. Their hospitality was exceptional and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The family is very kind and genuine — the son took us on a beautiful hike and guided us through the nature trails, sharing interesting stories and local knowledge. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The father also offers city tours, and he made sure we got to see the best places while learning the history and culture of the area. They really go out of their way to help their guests enjoy the stay to the fullest. The home was clean, comfortable and peaceful. You can feel the love and effort they put into maintaining their place and treating guests like close friends. This is not just accommodation, it is a warm local experience that you won’t find everywhere. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly and memorable stay. I will definitely come back again!

Extreamly clean, comfortable and quiet place. A very spacious room. Owner and family couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful and went out of their way on a number of occasions to assist us and other guests during our stay. The owners son also spoke with us at length about the history of the house, the town and Sri Lanka, he was very knowledgeable. Well located with restaurants close by and a lovely walk to Lovers Leap waterfall. Great value for money and a good breakfast to start the day. Definitely highly recommended

This place fits the Nuwara Eliya vibes! A cute bungalow with wooden details and big blankets for the cold nights. We were welcomed by a big smile and tea and cookies. The room is spacious and clean. It also had a little outside sitting area which made us meet other guests. :)

Our stay was a highlight of our Sri Lanka trip. Wasantha and his family are the most lovely people. They made us feel super comfortable and organised a tour around Nuwara Eliya to fit everything we wanted in a short time. The conversations with Wasantha were really interesting and insightful. He took the time to teach us Karam at night. So much fun! Chitra’s food is first class! :) Thanks!

Even better than the accommodation itself was the service and help we received from the owners. They helped us with our travel plans, cooked a delicious dinner (breakfast was just as good) and helped with our car. The owner is a great guy who will not leave you in trouble. My whole family really enjoyed our stay. And if you stay here, be sure to take advantage of the home-cooked dinner offer. The curry here was really delicious!
