Perfect and peaceful location, with really helpful and kind staff. They also have the smartest and most lovely dog I have seen. Totally recommended. In order to go to the apartment don’t follow Google maps, ask the locals at the villages as you pass by.

It was one of the most amazing stays we had. We were well taken care of and the food was out of this world. They make all the food in house and it’s super delicious. Edward, the manager speaks really good English and will accompany you on giving tips around what can be done in the area. The hotel is placed in a calm estate so you hear birds and insects and a lot of nature. Overall it was a superb stay and we wish we could stay there for a bit longer.

Beautiful old colonial house in an amazing setting, but what was so special was the warmth of the staff. The food was some of the best I had in Sri Lanka. It's a pity that I live on the other side of the world....otherwise we would be frequent visitors at this hotel.

What a beautiful quest house. It is set away from the busy main road and very peaceful. There is a restaurant, which we did not use, so I can't comment, but there was no noise, apart from some soft music,which was quite nice and chilled. The room was very clean, with clean bedding and towels. Staff were very helpful and Friendly. Loved this Lodge. I could have stayed longer just to enjoy the peacefulness. As we are travelling by bicycle, our bikes were very secure for the night.

The view from the room was absolutely stunning. The property offers two types of rooms: one with a balcony and one without balcony but an extended front view. During our extended stay, we had the opportunity to experience both. Both rooms were immaculately clean, spacious, and featured king-sized beds that were extremely comfortable. The wooden chairs and tables added a charming touch, and the bathrooms were modern and well-maintained. The highlight of our stay was the host, Susantha. He is a genuinely kind and helpful person, always eager to assist with any needs. Beyond that, he’s an excellent cook! I highly recommend trying both breakfast and dinner—he’s happy to customize dishes to suit your preferences. Conveniently, there’s a grocery store right outside the property, along with a few nearby cafés. For even more options, the main market is just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride away. If you enjoy outdoor activities, there are also several hiking spots in the area.

The hosting familly was accommodating us really good, they gave us a ride and lots of valuable information about whole Šri lanka and little bit of its history. We enoyed that hosts were speaking perfectly in English. Breakfast was as goog as 5 star’s restaurant. The facilities, comfortability of the bed, shower, the view was perfect, better that we expected. Thank you again it was the place that you want to stay as long as possible.
