Lovely balcony view and super spacious room, English-style breakfast was a real treat (since we have been having local style breakfast everyday for a long time), Helpful staff, and we enjoyed the property is a very walkable to the lake. Although the property seems to be high up, actually it is very pleasant for us to walking especially taking a stroll after dinner around the lake …

We booked quite last minute and arrived in the evening, we were picked up and welcomed with a traditional Sri Lankan meal cooked by the amazing nana Nandi. The rooms are clean and the surroundings beautiful and quiet (apart from the beautiful nature sounds). Sudesh the owner is super helpful and tries to accommodate you in every need (from a Kandy tour, tuktuk service, or help by choosing a taxi driver, to a nice chat with a beer). The family has a lovingly warmth which makes you feel welcomed and at ease. We stayed here with our kids, but I would also recommend it to couples without. The fact that there are (almost) daily cooking classes makes it easy to meet people. To summarize: a recommendation from my heart! We will meet again <3

Good food, very kind owners. They gave us a lot of information about Kandy, Buddhism, Sri Lankan history and culture. The Lady borrowed us an umbrella. Sadly we havent tried the cooking lesson.

It was a lovely stay with a very cosy room with great view. It's like staying away from the busy town, but still be only 10min away from it. Perfect experience. The terrace wad great, enjoying the cool evening seeing the lights of Kandy and Sunset. The hospitality was amazing. Thanks so much!

This place of Sri and his family is a truly hidden gem. So much love and calm you will find there within a truly authentic local experience. Highly recommend to stay there. We just stayed on night unfortunately but everything was truly amazing. Lovely host, communication, incredible breakfast and the room/house is in such a good calm nature area, still close to the city if you want to experience kandy.
