The place looks just like in the pictures. The view of the lake is breathtaking, the room was very comfortable and probably the cleanest one of our 3-week travel in Sri Lanka. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, offering us all recommendations we needed and making sure we left the breakfast with our bellies filled with delicious homecooked food. Would dedinitely recommend!

Situated slightly out of the main town, in a very peaceful, quiet location, with views of the countryside, a huge waterfall and a Hindu temple. There is parking for scooters, auto rickshaw and cars. The host, Paramesh, is a very polite, well spoken gentleman. He was keen to assist as much or as little as we wanted.

Rajith was an amazing host from the moment we arrived, welcoming us into his home and sharing his knowledge of the area. His hospitality was above and beyond, and breakfast delicious. He organized tuk tuk as needed and suggested local activities to meet our needs. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend this homestay to anyone.

Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
