Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. Location is close to lions rock. Really got the jungle experience also. The nice homestay is surrounded by thick bush and trees. Easy access. Good roads. Was greeted immediately with cold juice. Room was better than expected. Large comfy bed with clean sheets and clean bathroom. AC and fan was great. Nice mosquito net above bed but no mosquitos. Break fast was large delicious simply amazing. Host was helpful and clearly takes good pride in his homestay. Host also offers taxi and tour services, I wish i had known prior hand as his prices for taxi from negembo and than to Kandy were so much more cheaper. Well Worth the money.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The homestay features garden views, an outdoor fireplace and a 24-hour front desk. Great homestay. The family were so friendly and service minded, and they helped us to plan our visit so well. He drove us with his tuk tuk to walk Pidurangala for the sunrise, and also to Dambulla cave temple and Lion rock. We joined the cooking class our first evening, and it was very nice and great food. Would recommend this place.

At the homestay, units are fitted with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and slippers, units at the homestay also have free WiFi. At the homestay, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. This place was incredible. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and comfortable. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and due to the heavy rain when we visited we spent a lot of time drinking tea and sitting on the covered porch. The hosts were very attentive and available but not over bearing. They gave us tuk tuk rides at a good price to pidurangala rock and Sigiriya rock. The room was spotless and so comfortable. We’ve been in Sri Lanka now for 2 weeks and this was our favourite accommodation.

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The guest house offers garden views, an outdoor fireplace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. We had a fabulous 3nights at Yashi's place which is set in a beautiful garden and is very quiet and relaxing. Harsha and his family are wonderful kind hosts and can help organise anything you need for transportation around Sri Lanka and booking tours etc. Each morning a very generous Sri Lankan breakfast is served with lots of variety and home cooked evening meals are available on request. We highly recommend.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. We loved the stay where it was set - it was in the back of a house in a farm owned by a very warm family with 2 cute children. Very rustic and raw setting, exactly what we wanted. It felt like we are staying in a forest amidst the trees and forest life. The hosts are really lovely people. They were warm in every interaction. Every step of the way, they interacted very warmly with us and even dropped us at the town once for free. They dropped us back into the down at the time of check out. Provided delicious food even at short notice. The food was exceptional. I was blown away by the taste. We were served Traditional Sri Lankan meals for Dinner and Breakfast for 2 days. We loved every bit of it. This is exactly what we missed during our previous stays and was extremely satisfying and gratifying to eat tasty and local food from a warm family. We also loved that a young girl from the hosts family explained us the food of what it is and how we should eat them prior to our meal. Very cute! Bathroom was really good. We loved that there are many plants inside the bathroom. We strongly believe that many Indian families (especially couples) will love this stay.
