I loved the place mostly. It was neat and clean. The rooms were spacious enough. Also, the washroom. There was a kitchen space with all the cutlery sets, a fridge, and a hot water kettle. So, anybody can have a dine-in using those things. Also, there is a spacious balcony with a great city view. We enjoyed sitting there. we had free breakfast. And, the humble owner lady provided us with fresh fruits and English breakfast. that we loved most.

We loved our stay at Shevyhaws, and would love to stay there again. Chaminda and his family are wonderful guests, they could not do enough for you. Breakfast was delicious and had everything from fruit, to toast, jams and omlettes to curry and roti and pancakes. Accommodation is a bit away from town about 2.5 km, but that was not a problem as Chaminda gave us rides to and from town at no cost, whenever we texted him. He recommended a delicious vegetarian restaurant. He organised daytrips with his 4x4 Jeep at very good prices including the Horton plains, and some tea plantations and waterfalls. The Lovers leap with it's beautiful surroundings is 15 mins walking distance from Shevyhaws. Shower wàs hot and powerful and bedroom was spotlessly clean and included warm cosy blankets for the colder nights. Would strongly recommend to anyone considering.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this beautiful place. The owners are incredibly friendly and thoughtful and have done everything they can to make your stay perfect. Everything was perfect: The entire house is 100% spotless, the breakfast is plentiful and good, the shower is hot! We even had our own little sitting area just outside the room (nice to sit there if it is raining). The owner has a tuk tuk and offer rides at very fair rates. It is easy walking distance to Lover’s Leap waterfall and nice walks around the tea estate, otherwise a walk or tuk tuk ride into the center. If I could give this a higher rating I would!

Had the most amazing stay at woods hut with the lovely family of Wasanthra and Chithra at their home. The room was spacious and had everything you need, coupled with an unbelievable view on the balcony. They helped organise my plans for the duration, with breakfast & dinner if you needed! I would recommend staying here to anyone during your stay in Nuwara Eliya, you will have the best time!
