The host was very attentive and caring, couldn’t do any more for us! The room is one of the biggest we have stayed in in our Sri Lanka trip. Lovely outside seating where the host served us a delicious breakfast. Only a 5 minutes tuk tuk ride from the main Dambulla bus stand.

What a fabulous oasis in Dambulla! The bungalow and outside bathrooms were so luxurious, a really treat and perfect start to our trip. What really made our stay was the staff, they even managed to get us cricket tickets to watch New Zealand vs Sri Lanka (my partners highlight). The staff made organising trips to Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla cave temples so easy, and Amil (tuk tuk driver) was always there to take us to the next place. Lastly the on-site restaurant and the chefs were amazing, we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner here. We couldn’t recommend this place more!!

Sanji and Madhu were excellent hosts - From the time we stepped into the property to our departure, we were treated like family guests - We had all our Breakfasts and Dinners at the property. Everything which was served was excellent, prepared to perfection. The presentation was equally good. We discussed multiple topics in our 2 days stay with Sanjee and he showed us around the property. My daughter bonded so quickly with Yasashvi ( Sanjee/Madhu's 9 yr old daughter) that she still remembers and talks about her. There is also adorable large dog ( Windy ) as a pet - Madhu and her daughter accompanied us to Cave temples ( 4 min walk to reach the temple from the property ) and explained so many details / history / traditions of Buddhism. The climb to the temple is around 300 + stairs with Medium/Moderate elevation . During the climb we took photos of beautiful forest and mountains around the area. Rooms are excellent and with top notch conditions / amenities - Madhu , Sanjee are excellent hosts. I/my family would stay here again if we are in dambulla again - Do not miss to book this property during your visit in Dambulla.

    The location of the farm was excellent, you will find yourself in places you would not come otherwise. Pradeep's place is very well maintained, we stayed in one of the cheaper rooms and they were quite basic but that's what we wanted. If you are up for more luxury there are four new rooms which are all very modern and super clean! The farm is great and staff super friendly and helpful. It was a great way to get a peek in actual sri lankan culture. Would definitely recommend going here!

    Very clean and comfortable, the staff were smiley and friendly, willing to help where able. The location is ideal for access to the busy centre but far enough away that you don't have the noise that goes with it. The beautiful views made the already enjoyable and filling breakfast, even better. AC and fan worked well!
