Spacious, clean rooms and a comfortable bed. Hot shower which is really nice in the sometimes chilly evenings of Nuwara Eliya. The host is wonderful and does everything to help you. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice, as well as the dinner.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and helpful. He arranged tuktuks for our longer rides at a good price, which made everything so much easier. We enjoyed breakfast and had also dinner at a very good price. One morning, when we left for a hike very early, he even prepared a breakfast to go, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His whole family is truly lovely and welcoming.

The host family are great people. Beautiful breakfasts. We really enjoyed walking in the area through tea plantations and watching all facets of vegetable production. The balcony was lovely to sit and watch local life.

Amazing host. They do their best to make you feel comfortable. They made suitable experience, adapted to your wishes! The best breakfast we had in Sri Lanka! Very clean space and confortable bed (which is not always the case in Sri Lanka). We would definitely recommend to spend few nights here, Nuwara Eliya is underrated!

Everything! The staff made sure from the first second that we felt great! We even brought our oranges and they squeezed them for us. We also had our clothing washed and dryed. Everything was done properly. Breakfast on the balcony was cherry on the top. I would come again

The owner and his mother were the sweetest hosts we met during our 2 week journey across Sri Lanka. He picked up us from the bus station and also took us to the train station in the end of our stay and bought the train ticket for us from his own money, because we didn’t had a change. He speaks english pretty well and was also our guide and showed us tea plantations, factories and nice spots to take a picture for a reasonable pricey Room was spacious, clean and cosy. Bed was comfy with the comforter. There is also a table and small patio to enjoy tea. Wifi was working well. Nuwara Eliya is more colder than other cities in Sri Lanka which was pleasant change for us. There weren’t any mosquitos. The homemade food was the best we had in Sri Lanka and the portions were huge. Location was near the Lover’s leap waterfall, max. 30 minutes walk and to the city center and Victorias garden it was approximately 1 hour walk but you can take a TukTuk. P.s. They have cute cat as a bonus :)

The best 2 days I spent in srilanka. Lovely location, facing th mountains. You could spend the whole day sitting on the bench and watching the sky and the hills. Rooms are basic, clean and the shower is hot. The family who own and manage this are wonderful. They stay on the premises and are the loveliest people.

    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.
