The apartment is huge, but not very cosy. It would help if it was a bit more decorated. The apartment is a bit far from the city center (or a restaurant), so you will need own transport or use a tuktuk.

The host is the most hospitable and friendly person you will ever meet. He helped us with our intinary and dropped us off at the city center and the train station. We really enjoyed the home cooked dinner. The apartment is very spacious. The wifi is good.

Very lovely place, somewhat outside center of Nuwara, but at the endpoint of the Pekoetrail. We did the last etappe of the trail and came back with a bus. Very nice views and relaxed walk. The owner is very friendly and can give you all the info you want. Breakfast was excellent. It's continental with Strawberry juice, cake or pancakes. They even did some home cooking for us the first evening (Khottu). Again, very tasteful. I recommend this place for its charme. You look out your window and see the plains! The next day, he brought us to the trainstation.

If you’re going to Nuwara Eliya, the only thing you need to book is this place. It’s a quiet retreat perfect for a relaxing few days, or if you want to explore it’s close enough to everything. The host, Jayantha, will go out of you way to enhance your trip - from incredible home-cooked meals to local tips and arranging activities. He even drove us up the road to a tea factory, and dropped us at the train station at the end of our stay. Jayantha’s hospitality was one of the highlights of our Sri Lanka trip.

Very, very, very clean place with beautiful terrace outside and view of tea plantations and forest. Very good contact with the owner, good breakfast. Beds were very comfortable and flat was spacious and very well organized. Little paradise on earth. You can take tuk tuk to train station/town. Owner helped with organising it. I totally recommend this place!

Nothing to do with this place but unfortunately some construction went on across the valley which diminshed the peaceful experience a bit. But nothing major.

The host cooked us a fantastic dinner, really recommended to take up his offer, and the breakfast was also great. The location was very interesting, close to Pedro's Tea Factory where the Pekoe trail ends (host drove us to the beginning of the trail in our own car and we walked back).

Jayantha and his family were lovely and very helpful. The holiday home is situated in a quiet part of Nuwara Eliya with lovely views of the countryside. You need to get a tuk tuk into town, but this was not difficult, and in fact, Jayantha gave us a lift on a couple of occasions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Everything was perfect here. The house was very nice, clean and spacious with beautiful view, surrounded by tea plantations. Location was perfect for us. It was outside of the city but in very calm and beautiful neigbourhood. It was easy to catch the bus to the center.. Breakfasts were delicious, very big with amazing strawberry juice.. The owner was super helpful and did everything to make our stay perfect. He picked us up from the center and also helped us to cach a bus to another location. He helped us to organize tuktuk trip to tea factory and waterfall for a very good price. He was there for us everytime we needed anything. You can feel 100% welcome at this place, just like at home. 10 is not enough to rate this place., our stay there was beyond our expectation.

The house was located a bit further from the city center, but the owner helped us to get there by car. The owner was very sweet, he helped us with everything including taxi/tuk tuk, tips what to do in the city and where to go for hikes. He also prepared really delicious food for dinner. Thank you!

Nothing, all was great.

Pretty much everything - it’s calm, idyllic, with views out over the nearby fields, stream, and hills. You have essentially half of the entire house, but an entirely separate entrance to the owners’ family, so it feels like your own place … it was the largest place we’ve had to ourselves in Sri Lanka. In all honesty we wished we could have stayed longer, and would have had we not have a reserved ticket on the train to Ella, and would give more than 10/10 if we could. After a busy first week in the country, this was exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy chilling out a bit. What really made this stay though was Jayantha - the friendliest man I’ve met in Sri Lanka, and fantastic host. He did everything he could to make sure we enjoyed our stay: recommended a restaurant for lunch, drove us the 1/2 mile to the end of his road so we could get a 50 rupee bus into town, provided a fantastic dinner and breakfast (including his own strawberries), kindly spun and hung up our hand-washed clothes when it started raining, and arranged for his father-in-law to drive us to the station the next morning. To give you a taste, he kindly arranged two-days of transportation for us before we were even staying - and at a price that our previous homestay owner was shocked we’d managed to secure! Additionally, he had bought us an Ayurvedic remedy for us to use given we climbed Adam’s Peak and in-case we had sore legs. In all, don’t be put off by the 4km to the town, you can easily get a 500 rupee TukTuk or 50 rupee bus to centre, you’ll be staying in a clean and comfortable house, relaxed, and with a fantastic host who will do his best to make your stay great. Thank you!

We were realy surprised about the apartment, view at the garden and extremly frendly host. He made us welcome tea, took us to the city center to the restaurant and waited for us eventhough it was NY-eve. The greatest thing was breakfast in the morning, I would say the best one, during our stay on Šrilanka. Thank you for all your help, I will recomm end your place.

There is nothing to be honest that we disliked about the property. Everything is great here.

Jayant, the host of this property is a gem of a person. Jayant to be honest was the highlight of our stay not even his beautiful house. This place is a great value for money in all honesty. Even more than that. The rooms are spacious. We booked both the rooms which is basically his half home. It has a kitchen, dining area, a common bathroom, a patio, and a backyard. Our breakfast was included and we had one of the best breakfasts of our entire Sri Lanka trip here. Jayant is an amazing chef. From his rice hoppers and dal to strawberry juice, he killed it all. And, the best part, he has his own small farm just beside the backyard where he grows everything. We had so many conversations with him and we learned so much about Sri Lanka, its people, the country's economic crisis, civil wars, and more. After talking to him we had even more respect for the country. The rooms are spacious and comfy. Very cozy given the weather of Nuwara Eliya. The property also has parking available. The Wifi is available but the speed is not that great. But it gets the work done. The kitchen has basic amenities for you to cook basic food. I can go on and on but cut short, it was the best stay of our trip. Book this place, sleep tight, wake up, sit in the backyard, sip hot coffee, talk to Jayant, and relax. Live the Sri Lankan way, amigos.

We had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable homestay for two days, from December 13th to 15th, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The property boasts stunning views and is impeccably maintained, providing a tranquil and picturesque setting. The owner is incredibly polite, helpful, and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. The breakfast served was a highlight, featuring homemade delights such as fresh strawberry juice, jam made from their own farm, and a delicious banana milkshake. Each item was thoughtfully prepared and exemplified the homestay’s dedication to quality and hospitality. Our accommodation was spacious and well-appointed, offering excellent value for the price. The owner also provided invaluable recommendations for the best local dining spots and must-visit attractions, enhancing our overall experience. This homestay combines outstanding service, exceptional amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the area. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.

Even better than the accommodation itself was the service and help we received from the owners. They helped us with our travel plans, cooked a delicious dinner (breakfast was just as good) and helped with our car. The owner is a great guy who will not leave you in trouble. My whole family really enjoyed our stay. And if you stay here, be sure to take advantage of the home-cooked dinner offer. The curry here was really delicious!

It a beautiful property and surrounded by mesmerising landscape. Like you can spend the entire evening roaming around in the backyard where our host has been growing all sorts of fancy stuff ( strawberries, passion fruit, oranges… you name it). To top it all you get to play with Simba(shyest feline you’ll ever meet). I wish we were there for a few more days but definitely recommend it to everyone who is going to Nuwara Eliya
