    Large clean and comfortable room. The beds were the comfiest I’ve had in my whole trip to Srilanka! Had a great nights sleep! Ample hot water for warm showers for all! Friendly owner. Great value for money!! We missed out on the breakfast though since we didn’t inform the previous night. I’ve heard it’s great too!

    The hotel is clean, comfortable, has large rooms and has a beautiful view from the room we stayed in. The breakfast was wholesome and tasty and service very good. The approach road is a bit narrow and large vehicles find it a bit difficult to navigate, but that's a minor issue. Would definitely recommend this hotel

    The hosts are amazing, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also great (and way too much :-) ), one of the best breakfast we’ve had. The house is very nice and the rooms are spacious and clean. Great value for money!

    The room was the most beautiful we had in our whole trip to Sri Lanka. It was so comfortable. The owner was very kind and helped us organize a taxi to bring us to Sigirya (for a very fair price). And the driver was so nice that we use the same company afterwards. Breakfast was amazing. Location is great with a beautiful view!

    Beautiful property in Nuwara Eliya with a very kind and helpful host. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. It’s a little walk from the town, but it has a beautiful view overlooking the lake. The host provided us with a grand and delicious breakfast the morning we left, and also helped us get to the train station in time when our car broke down. Overall great experience.

    The room was big, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The view from room/balcony was very nice, facing the lake. Window was facing the rising sun. The manager arranged breakfast for us. Bathroom was clean, nice hot water. Very conveniently located close to city center.

    Nothing not to like there.

    The rooms were very spacious and the beds were super comfortable. The house is 3 mins walk from the lake boating boarding point and night next to the main road. And their breakfast is such a big spread of authentic srilankan food which is super tasty and filling (both for your stomach and heart).

    Super helpful staff. The breakfast was amazing and abundant. The owner even prepared a pick-nick breakfast to take away in Horton Plains, plastic free! Also arranged a tuk tuk ride to the national park providing blankets to keep us warm. Our room was cosy and felt like home, with a lake view. The building itself is super interesting architecture wise. We are super grateful for everything!

He cook authentic sri lankan breakfast with so much of variety, tasty and that too at a very resonable price. Dont miss there breakfast. I definately recommond to stay here if you are going to nuwaraeliya.

    Very clean house and rooms. Beds where warm and cozy which is very important up higher in the mountains of Nuwara Eliya. The owner and his family take a lot of pride into the details of making our stay perfect. The owner helped us arrange tuk tuks and options for our trips. He was also helpful in finding activities, food options and secret tips around town. Breakfast was one of the best during our entire Sri Lanka trip.

    At this accommodation, you will meet one of the kindest men in Sri Lanka. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay - from serving tea and cake to ordering transport very early in the morning, even getting up himself and providing breakfast for the trip. The rooms are impeccably clean, featuring cozy blankets (essential in the chilly climate of Nuwara Eliya) and a hot shower (!) Thank you for everything - you truly made us feel welcome!
