Amazing family, it was so nice to meet them and share their life for 2 nights. Venishia and her husband made incredible dinner and breakfast, really good fruit juices also. We also spent a very nice time with their son wish. The price is really cheap compared to the quality of the experience we had. We definitely recommend you this place if you would like to live with an amazing sri lankan family.

The location is great, lovely big terrace to sit outside, we had a cool breeze most of the time, it’s a short walk to the canal then it’s a nice walk along the canal through some farms and to a village. You can also walk the 4k to the cave temple along this route. Food that we ate was delicious and typical Sri Lankan. The hosts are incredibly interesting having had fascinating careers and are now a large part of the community. We loved the 3 nights that we spent with this family and the people that we met while staying with them.🙏🏾

We arrived with no expectations but were absolutely blown away at every step of our stay! The family welcomed us with open arms, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Their hospitality and kindness were truly exceptional. The house itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed by the father of the family. With high ceilings, it stays cool even in the heat, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are lovely, well-maintained, and equipped with great amenities. The food was another highlight—both breakfast and dinner were delicious, homemade, and full of flavor. The quality and generosity make this an incredible value for money. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying here!

Good sized room and facilities. Clean and comfortable. Easy bus connections into town and onward journeys. A very nice, friendly, welcoming and attentive family in a nice traditional home. Easy access to some lovely walks in the area of the main road. Ordered dinner every evening and the food was tasty, fresh, well cooked and varied. Enjoyed my conversations about cooking and ingredients used. Thank you for a lovely stay and enjoy highly recommend. Excellent value.

All ok!

The family is awesome, they are really generous and whole hearted. The price is too little compare to what they share. I'm really grateful for the conversations and their care

Nothing - it was great. Book in if you can!

Amazing architecture and location. Felt very special to be welcomed into this family home. They are warm welcoming people, food is very tasty and we had great chats and played music in the evening. There is a back street through the farm land that is worth taking to get to the cave temples. It was like a free walking safari! Catching a bus there is lots of fun - just ask to jump off a bit after Dambulla at the junction.

Wonderful homestay with the most helpful, welcoming host family! We loved chatting, learning more about Sri Lanka and enjoying amazing food together. And there were monkeys and squirrels in the trees outside to entertain us in the mornings!

Nothing except for saying goodbye!

Kon Tree Shade was incredible! We stayed for 4 nights and felt like part of the family - we were very sad to say goodbye! The room was very clean and spacious and Venishia's cooking was so good that we mostly ate in! We had a great time talking to all the family and especially enjoyed our long chats with Wishwa. Couldn't recommend staying here more!

There was nothing that we didn't like.

My partner and I are backpacking and traveling by bus through Sri Lanka. We stayed here for two days and would like to return if we can before going south. The location is very good and the important places are very close. However, the jewel of this accommodation is the loving family who received us with genuine warmth and shared authentically with us. They speak English very well. Venishia is a delightful conversationalist and an excellent cook (we had delicious and varied vegetarian breakfasts and dinners). Wije is a wise man and explained many things to us about nearby places to visit, culture, life, and Buddhism. Wishwa helped us with everything and with his smile. After only two days we said goodbye with some tears. It was a very enriching and priceless experience, and in these days afterward, we find ourselves every day bringing them to mind in one way or another and always with a smile.

Venishia was so lovely. Had a great time with her.

The place is not in google maps (but it's not that difficult to find it, anyways). On the other hand I'm sure it'll be there soon.

Amazing! So local! Wonderful couple, wonderful meal, wonderful everything. I can't recommend this place more. You can get some "lectures" about the culture, history, take a tour around local agriculture area and more. Perfect for backpackers. To be honest, we really didn't want to leave.

The house is in very nice surroundings, so you feel like in the middle of the jungle. The bus stop is very close, so the distance from Dambulla is not an issue at all. The higlight of this stay is the family. I haven’t met more helpful and kind hosts as they are. They helped us with trip planning, transport and they have also given us nice honest tips what to avoid and what not. They have even accompanied us to the bus stop, and helped us catch the right bus each day! The dinner and breakfast was like a feast. They have served us delicious local food, that varied every day. If you plan to stay close to Dambulla and Sigiriya, definitely book this one!
