We recently had the pleasure of staying at S and D homestay in Nuwara Eliya and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly and helpful owner and his amazing family, who ensured a warm welcome and served for us delicious lunch (the dining experience was truly a delight). One of the highlights of this homestay is its’ beautiful view from the terrace: you can sea the Lovers Leap waterfall and tea plantations (walking distance). The room is spacious and cosy, even with the patchwork rug on the floor. There’s also a nice common living room. Overall, our stay at S and D Homestay was exceptional. The combination of the hospitable family, delightful meals, beautiful view and the refreshing cool air made it a remarkable experience.

Beautiful room. Very clean and no smell at all! The bed is really comfy and the blanket keeps you warm during the night (it’s getting cold in Nuwara Eliya during the night, so you need it!). Breakfast is huge and really delicious. The owner is really cute.

A kind and incredibly professional couple. The room was very large, perfectly clean, and tastefully arranged. Even the blankets and sheets smelled wonderful. The host was incredibly kind, and anything you needed was available. We also arranged our visit to Horton Plains National Park with their own tuk-tuk, and they even packed a very neat breakfast for us to eat inside the park. The location is excellent, close to Lover's Leap Waterfall and the Pedro Tea Factory, about a half-hour walk at most, or you can even take a bus. Overall, everything was at its best. We'll definitely miss the landlord, who was a true gentleman, and his kind wife. We hope to see them again.

I stayed one night at RC Awkward in Nuwara Eliya. The property was clean, comfortable, and had a hot shower—perfect for the chilly nights. Rajith, the host, was kind, accommodating, and reliable. He offered a car lift to explore the tea plantations and prepared a delicious breakfast.

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
