The owner is great.. Amazing service, top notch view. Although it's 10 min drive from city- up in the moutain, It's very easy to call tuktuks. Won't even take more than 5-8 min.

Everything! This is a luxury boutique homestay. The fresh white linen on a comfy bed, fluffy pillows, extra blankets, streaming channels on smart TV, and hot showers made this the best stay in Sri Lanka. There is fast internet to get work done. The breakfast is incredible. Most of all, Chaminda is the kindest host! The home is a drive out of town in a remote village.

This was our third time in Nuwara Eliya, snd this time we were very lucky with the hotel. Firstly, it is located in a beautiful place on a mountain with a view of tea plantations, the city and a Buddhist monastery. You can see it without getting out of bed. Secondly, we had a very nice spacious room with a large balcony, kitchen and a comfortable bed. There was excellent hot water, which is especially important for Nuwara Eliya. Special thanks to host Alex and his staff for their hospitality, desire to help, delicious breakfasts and lunches. For my wife and me, this is the best hotel in Nuwara Eliya

The Best Homestay in Nuwara Eliya – A True Local Experience! This family-run homestay gave us the most authentic and heartwarming experience of Sri Lankan hospitality. Our room was spotlessly clean and cozy, with an absolutely charming flower-filled balcony that made sunrise magical. Our host, Sanjaya, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. He was so welcoming and caring, taking us to a gems shop and patiently waiting while we explored, helping us find perfect jackets, bringing us to amazing local restaurants, and showing us around Nuwara Eliya. The next morning after serving us a delicious homemade breakfast, he kindly drove us to the train station himself. What makes this place truly special is how the whole family makes you feel at home. If you want more than just accommodation but a genuine cultural experience with the kindest hosts, don't look further. Our highest recommendation! ✨

    This was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Sri Lanka. I received a warm welcome from the staff there. The place is very clean, warm, and relaxing. The food is five-star quality—no joke. It was really delicious and well-presented, thanks to Chef Steve and the hotel manager Malinda for taking care of me during my stay, and thanks to the rest of the team, Srikant and Moghan. Location is good, there is a supermarket near band it's close to Gregory lake. There is hot water for shower.
