We arrived by bicycle after climbing 1200m. So we were exhausted! Straight away, we were shown to our room, where we could change out of our stinky clothes, and served hot tea. The view from bed was stunning - overlooking a lush valley with a thousand shades of green. Squirrels scuttled around the plants on the balcony, bringing into sharp focus how lucky we were to be living in nature. Our host prepared an authentic Sri Lanka meal from scratch, and we ooooohed and aaaahed all the way through. It was difficult to leave the comfort of the home the next morning, but we managed. Lovely friendly hosts. So warm and kind.

    An absolute gem of a homestay. The hosts were friendly and helpful, the room and the bathroom — spotlessly clean, the bed — comfy, dinner and breakfast that the lady owner cooked for me — filling and tasty. What more is there to ask for?

    The owner were very helpfull, they picked us from the busstation for free. It's possible to get tasty local food (breakfast, lunch & dinner). It's possible to fly the drone from the rooftop or doing Yoga. We would recommend the homestay.
