This is a delightful place to stay. So many good aspects to consider: friendly and kind staff, delicious meals, quiet location not far from the sightseeing, ability to arrange excursions and onward journey, wildlife on property: monkeys, deer, birds…, laundry service, ability to call in craftsmen to display their wares. And the meals…they are soooo good. And..suggest you ask your host any questions you can think of about Sri Lanka…you will learn a lot from his straightforward answers.

    I ordered single room, but got a free upgrade to a bigger one. The place is quiet old and basic, but ok to crash for a night. Rented a bike from the owners for 800 and had a plentiful dinner which I was not able to finish and could probably feed 2-3 people for 1500. It is close to bus stop.
