We loved our stay here. The family that run the place made us feel right at home. They served us breakfast and dinner in their dining room. They were very sweet to our little kids and we had a great stay. They were also able to accommodate my husbands many food intolerances. There is a shared area outside the room with a fridge, table and tea and coffee making facilities that was handy.

We liked everything. The guesthouse is beautifully located at the top of the hill, with view on the city and on the surrounding valleys. The room was cozy and cleaned. Romeni welcomed us with a cup of tea, some biscuits and bananas and prepared us a wonderful traditional dinner in their kitchen. The father of Romeni brought us to a 5-hour hiking on the mountains and all along the valleys through the tea plantations, which has been honestly the highlight of our trip to Nuwara Eliya. He is so passionate about nature and wildlife... It has been a pleasure to spend some time with him. All the family is genuinely super kind and helpful. We will come back for sure in the future and we will cherish these memories forever.

Super family run Guest House ideally situated. Keeth was a great host, extremely friendly and helpful in every way... we enjoyed our long conversations with him. The bedroom was huge, clean and comfortable. Hot water bottles and extra blankets were provided for cold nights and the Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious. Highly recommended for a stay in Nuwara Eliya
