A place that is located close to both city center and Ambulawawa tower, where I was actually heading to. Nice house to spend a night or two, or even more, if you wish. Landlord and landlady were kind and welcoming, and even gave me an opportunity to sleep and extra hour, not waking me up for a breakfast 😅 That a plus, for real :) About the room: everything was great, nothing to complain! Hot water, a king-size bed and breakfast/dinner on request. And special thanks for pieces of advice and recommendations!

Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the homestay, while hiking and walking tours can be enjoyed nearby.

The proprietors were the most gracious and welcoming hosts in my 30 days of travel in Sri Lanka. They were extremely kind and included nice personal touches, such as tea. The rooms were lovely. I highly recommend eating a meal there. It is a bit more expensive than average, but the food is so tasty and you won't walk away hungry. The conversations with the hosts at mealtime were top notch.

    Easily one of the best homestays during our whole trip to Sri Lanka and definitely the best room. It was designed really uniquely and we loved it. Host is very friendly and helpful, also cooks good food in his restaurant! Easy to get to Ambuluwawa tower, and when we got back the most amazing breakfast was waiting for us.

    The rooms are nicely designed, clean and comfortable. No air con but the fan above the bed worked well. The owner, Dulip, is a lovely person and great host. Him and his wife were very friendly. The food is also tasty. Dulip arranged a tuk tuk tour of Ambuluwawa Tower which was perfect as we were the first ones at the top of the tower when the gates opened at 7:45am.

    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.
