This is a very welcoming place. The owner is really good and took a really good care of their guests! Keep asking if i have problems or not. That’s really nice! Ordered fish curry for dinner and it was really delicious and for that portion, the price is pretty cheap. They can arrange pickup from the train station. The room is really spacious for family up to 5 people! I was alone so i got all the 3 queen beds for myself lol the famous lover’s leap waterfall located just less than 2km from the house. I really recommend this stay!

Rajith is absolutely wonderful — truly a charming and attentive host and the place is very cozy. He welcomed us with tea and biscuits and was available at all times for anything we needed. We had to leave very early the next morning, and he prepared an amazing picnic box for us to take on the road. Always with a smile, he answered all our questions and made us feel completely at home. If we ever return to Nuwara Eliya, we will definitely contact him again. Highly recommended!

Andrea

From

We loved our stay here. The family that run the place made us feel right at home. They served us breakfast and dinner in their dining room. They were very sweet to our little kids and we had a great stay. They were also able to accommodate my husbands many food intolerances. There is a shared area outside the room with a fridge, table and tea and coffee making facilities that was handy.

Silvia

From

Italy

We liked everything. The guesthouse is beautifully located at the top of the hill, with view on the city and on the surrounding valleys. The room was cozy and cleaned. Romeni welcomed us with a cup of tea, some biscuits and bananas and prepared us a wonderful traditional dinner in their kitchen. The father of Romeni brought us to a 5-hour hiking on the mountains and all along the valleys through the tea plantations, which has been honestly the highlight of our trip to Nuwara Eliya. He is so passionate about nature and wildlife... It has been a pleasure to spend some time with him. All the family is genuinely super kind and helpful. We will come back for sure in the future and we will cherish these memories forever.
