Bike hire is available at this homestay and the area is popular for cycling. The homestay also offers car hire. Sigiriya Rock is 800 metres from Sigiri Rock Side Home Stay, while Pidurangala Rock is 1.8 km from the property. Set in a beautiful lush garden and run by the loveliest couple, we had a wonderful experience. Great value for money. Easy to walk to Sigiriya and Pidurangala rocks. Probably one of the best included breakfasts we had in Sri Lanka. The fridge in the room was super useful and we liked that it was stocked with very reasonably priced refreshing beverages. The hosts were very helpful & gave us good advice. We wished we had time to stay more than one night!

Set within 2.7 km of Kandy City Center Shopping Mall and 3.4 km of Bogambara Stadium, Galkaduwa360 Villa offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Kandy. There is an in-house restaurant and free private parking. The homestay features mountain views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. Very clean and new! Very big room with balcony and almost 360 view just from the room! You can literally see both sunrise and sunset! And there is a rooftop with tables and chairs. And monkeys sometimes. Great shower! Hot water, good water pressure! Very big and comfortable bed! There are AC and fan! There is kitchen because the owner lives here as well. He is very kind and always seems happy. He would message me to let me know when the monkeys come to the house 😂 He also offered washing machine for me to use because I stayed them for 4 nights! Location is out of busy town center, but only 10 min by tuktuk within 300lkr. Or you can also walk 5 min down the street to catch the local bus for 30lkr. There is a good restaurant “the chef corner” just 2min walk and the food there is really good! Next to it there is a fruit store and a bakery. Very convenient. I also found an Ayurvedic doctor in the area and got a massage. If you are going to Sigiriya by car, you don’t need to go through town.

Conveniently set in the centre of Kandy, Namaya Nature is a recently renovated homestay, which provides free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive. With garden views, this accommodation offers a balcony. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, a shared kitchen and luggage storage for guests. Our 3-day stay at this villa was truly unforgettable, mainly because of the amazing host, Aunty Thennakoon. From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with love and said, “Stay like your home and walk anywhere.” And honestly, we felt exactly that just like home. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and treated us like her own children. She even let us use her personal kitchen to cook our meals. She prepared a delicious homemade breakfast, beautifully presented and served with love. The place itself is very beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quiet moments. The atmosphere was calm and felt very safe. More than just a stay, this was a heartwarming experience. Aunty Thennakoon’s exceptional hospitality made it special. We had lovely conversations with her, just like with a close relative. And created memories we’ll never forget. Thank you so much, Aunty Thennakoon. We will always remember you with love. ❤️
