“I was positively surprised. It was actually one of the top accommodations for me in Sri Lanka. I liked everything about it. Especially the comfort and every detail of the room. The bed, the pillows, the armchair, the wardrobe, the desk, the lights, the kettle. Super clean. Very soundproof and quiet, which is quite important to me. Dilini is super nice, speaks English extremely well and is also interesting to talk to. And it was the perfect balance of helpfulness and privacy, which I appreciate. The restaurant across the street has great food for a good price. I was also able to go for some beautiful walks in the surrounding neighbourhood. I would book here again if I am in the area.”
“We only had one night here. Beautiful location. dinner was a delicious classic Sri Lankan meal and breakfast was a great omelette cooked up by the wonderful Ashoka.
The views are spectacular from the top of the hill. Also great view from the pool.
Christo was also very welcoming and made our stay as comfortable as possible. He also took us on a bush walk around the property showing us all the different plants, herbs and fruits.
If you’re lucky like we were you may spot a few wild elephants as well as the roam the hills around the property.”
“This was our second stay at Ashburnham Estate, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. There’s a rare quality to this place—an effortless elegance and warmth that welcomes you the moment you arrive. The landscape is breathtaking, with rolling hills, and quiet, expansive views.
Every detail of the experience feels considered, from the beautifully curated interiors to the gentle rhythm of each day. The food was exceptional, and prepared and served with genuine hospitality.
Ashburnham offers not just a break from the everyday, but a complete shift in pace. The whole fteam is gracious and attentive without ever being intrusive, and their warmth and professionalism enhanced the sense of calm and care.
I travel a lot, and I don’t believe there’s anywhere quite like it, thank you Vish, Daniel and the team! We will return again I’m sure!”
“This is a truly magical place. It is in the most beautiful, secluded setting with stunning views across the valley. We were at Strathisla for 3 nights and 4 days and it was well and truly worth it. While we were using it as a base to explore nearby Kandy and Sigiriya, we could easily have just hung out at Strathisla for its truly peaceful environment and amazing service. Morthy and Jaku looked after us so beautifully and arranged trips and a driver for us, with Jaku taking us on a walk around the village and sharing his knowledge about the local flora and fauna we saw. The food was absolutely incredible: each night we had at least 5 different curries and dishes freshly cooked by the excellent chef. I might actually say it was the best food we had in Sri Lanka. For some old school charm, incredible views and wonderful people, Strathisla is perfect. It is not a modern house so please don’t expect all the latest tech or facilities like air con, but this is what made it so epic.”
“Our stay at Gammaduwa Heritage Bungalow was wonderful. It is an experience that should not be missed. The views were stunning, the host was convivial, the staff were attentive, and the food was sublime. We were sorry to leave.”
“Sarath and his wife Deepthi are the most delightful hosts.
We had a wonderful time staying in their beautiful home in the jungle.
We had a steam massage (highly recommended) and Sarath took us for walks around his spice plantation.
It’s a beautiful place to unwind and chill, and you are looked after so well.
Deepthi’s cooking is amazing.
Wish we could have stayed longer!”
