This was a great place for us to stay for a night before visiting the famous Ambuluwawa tower. The host is great and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The room is comfortable and was designed very nicely with recycled products. Very cool! Would totally stay here again :)

We had a wonderful time with Alexandra and her husband. They were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. The rooms were clean and cozy. This accommodation is the perfect starting point for visiting the Ambuluwawa Tower. After a two-hour hike, we reached the top, but it can also be accessed easily by TukTuk or car. The interaction with our hosts was open and uncomplicated, and they shared many interesting stories and facts about Sri Lanka. We also had the opportunity to pick our own soursop and pepper in their garden. We can highly recommend this place and would gladly stay here again!

Nothing short of exceptional! A scenic route to the hotel and a scenic location! Was met by the hotel managers and owner with respect and kindness and can not fault their customer service. The rooms were spacious for 2 people and there were plenty of area to walk around to enjoy the garden, pool, and the view of the mountains. Breakfast was delicious and dinner was sensational from the rooftop balcony. The perfect quiet place to stay if you're travelling to Kandy as the drive from the hotel is under 30 minutes.

The owners were very nice, they helped us in trouble when we had a flat tire and needed to arrange a train ticket. The food was excellent. Everything was negotiable. Great location for a trip to the tower. The house was very clean and the room equipment was good, we used the fan on warm days. There is a train station and lots of shops nearby. The whole stay was absolutely great.

Great restaurant and hotel near to the Ambulawawa observation tower. The owner is very polite and helpful, he shows us around and shows everything, he also cooks great. We are very pleased, there is a family atmosphere and many very nice decorations handmade by the owner, which gives this place a unique atmosphere. Here is private parking for our tuk tuk as well. If you are going to the observation tower, this is a great place to stay.

We had an awesome room here! The bed was great, the shower room was amazing and we even had our own little porch way. Our host was great - nothing was too much trouble and he's a fine chef that's for sure! We 100% recommend this gorgeous little place to stay at. We were heading off early before breakfast time, and we even got a little packed up breakfast to take with us - which was just so kind. Highly recommend the food too - our dinner was just delicious - and we even were able to wash it down with a lion beer. Top place.

Dulip’s place is a great spot to stay if you want a layover and close place to sleep to get to the Ambuluwawa tower. The hotel rooms are clean and beautifully designed. Dulip makes a massive and authentic Sri Lankan breakfast. Very filling and great value. He was very helpful in informing us of places to see around Sri Lanka as well as arranging any transport you need. You can’t beat the price point for value when looking for a place to stay.

Such a nice little place with perfect location for going to ambulawawa tower! The owner helped me arrange a tuktuk very early in the morning to see the tower, and drove me to the bus later the same day. Cannot recommend enough! Had dinner there which was great and also breakfast was super delicious and huge, kept me full most of the day.
