Everything about our stay was fantastic. The host family were so welcoming and kind, and helped us with planning our holiday, not just in Nuwara Eliya but all over Sri Lanka. They also introduced us to a great guide for hiking and transport to Ella. The house and room are exactly as described, the bed really comfortable and the shower the best we experienced in our whole trip.

The Owner was so kind! He was as kind as a Japanese worker. The room rate was so low and it was so comfortable. The breakfast was so delicious and large portions. I'll come back to the hotel when I visit Nuwara Eliya next time. Thank you so much for being kind to me.

We had the most amazing stay! Wasantha and his wife were great hosts and she made the best food we had in Sri Lanka! They were super helpful to get us a Tuktuk for the day and got us from the train station. The rooms was nice with a great view over Nuwara Eliya, which we could enjoy with a breakfast one of the mornings when it was clear out. We came in Christmas so we got a card and small gift from Waaanthas son, which was super sweet!

Perfect stay! Highly Recommend! Host - A lovely family of 4. They are one of the most helpful and kind people I have ever met. They will always try to make your stay great. Their local wisdom is something that made the trip great! Rooms - They have 2 rooms. They are modest with good washroom facility and hot water. They have a kitchen and dining space too. Views - From the rooms, you can get a breath-taking view of tea gardens. You can't see the lake but the tea plantation hill view is more than worth it. Location- although it doesn't show on google maps, but you can walk down to the Lake Gregory easily within 10 mins through a short cut. The hosts will guide you. Convenient location if you wanna stay in Gregory Lake area. PickMe rides and food delivery is available here. The area is extremely quiet too. So if you are here to relax, this is the place!

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
