Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Our hosts were welcoming and shared many interesting insights with us, making the conversations engaging and informative. The vegetarian meals they prepared, as per our request, were delicious and entirely home-cooked with ingredients from their own garden. Communication with them was smooth and helpful throughout our stay. We learned a lot about Sri Lankan traditions and values, which made the experience even more meaningful. On their recommendation, we went on a safari that turned into a private tour, where we saw a variety of animals. They also gave us a free tuktuk tour around Sigiriya, taking us to a stunning viewpoint and a herbal garden with an informative tour. Their hospitality made our stay unforgettable, and we’re grateful for such an enriching homestay experience.

Towels and bed linen are available in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing.

The homestay specialises in a continental and Full English/Irish breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. As an added convenience, Pidurangala View Treehouse offers packed lunches for guests to bring on excursions and other trips off-property. I loved sleeping in a forest-like environment. I really missed it, and this treehouse was a lovely stay in that regard. The noise/sounds/music from the forest at night is the best. We really enjoyed everything: the treehouse, the view on the rock, the Loris tour at night, the breakfasts/lunches/dinners, and the simple but clean facilities, the safari... Make sure to discuss with the host about the different activities you can do around the rock (time, price, etc.). The host will help you out the best that he can, including dropping you at 5am at the bottom of the rock if necessary! Very kind family, business encouraged, I would come back there 100%.
