We stayed two days with these Sri Lankans. The place is beautiful, out of the tumult of the city (but at 15 minutes by walk to go in city center), the house is brand new, and the terrace incredible. I can only recommend you to go to this house and discover the hosts who are of a crazy kindness. We will always remember your hospitality: thank you! They organized our Knucles Mountain trip for us, prepared our lunch, helped us when we had some pain after the hike, and we shared an amazing Sri Lankan dinner with them in the evening. It is a moment dear to our hearts. If you are visiting Sri Lanka, you can definitely come here to recharge your batteries.

Beyond Expectations Our stay was absolutely perfect. The room was beautifully designed, the facilities immaculate, and the view simply breathtaking. The pool area offered complete tranquility and privacy — a true oasis of calm. Dinner was exceptional — sincere compliments to the chef for a memorable culinary experience. Breakfast was equally delightful, served in an elegant dining room where every detail, down to the cutlery, reflected thoughtful sophistication. A flawless experience from start to finish — truly an outstanding hotel that exceeds every expectation.

We had a truly amazing experience here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. The food was amazing and the chef made sure the spice levels was too our liking. The pool overlooking the mountains was truly magical and was the icing on the cake for this wonderful property. We wish we had more time here.

Sarath and his wife Deepthi are the most delightful hosts. We had a wonderful time staying in their beautiful home in the jungle. We had a steam massage (highly recommended) and Sarath took us for walks around his spice plantation. It’s a beautiful place to unwind and chill, and you are looked after so well. Deepthi’s cooking is amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Good location/climate. Peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by bird sounds. Comfortable old tea estate guest house. Lush garden. Excellent staff Moorthy and Dino (cook) who took care of us. Longer and shorter walks from the property, need to be able to manage hills. Transportation can be organised if required.

The best stay we had in Sri Lanka. Just out of the city center, but walkable. The room was clean and the shower was perfect. The breakfast was amazing. The staff was the nicest couple we have met so far in Sri Lanka. Would definitely recommend staying there for at least two nights. Thank you for having us!

The view from this property is breathtaking of a tropical mountains and forest. Something you see in the movies. Beautifully maintained garden. The host is very kind and helpful and clearly wants to make your stay as best as it can be. The trip to the village was very interesting (better early morning as it gets hot later), a big thank you to the lovely guide. We had all meals at the property as I think was the only option having in mind the difficult last 500m of road and the location. The food was good local cuisine.

We stayed overnight at Pearly's when we had to attend an event in Matale. It was such a wonderful experience for us. The space is very well equipped and clean. The location is also perfect with a beautiful view of the Knuckles mountains. The hosts were extremely friendly and caring. They made sure we felt right at home from the get go. The Sri Lankan breakfast was absolutely amazing! We will definitely come back next time we are in Matale.
