Staff always accommodated our requests, including a mixture of traditional Sri Lankan and Western breakfast. Our stay at this colonial house in Kandy was simply magical. The property manager's care and meticulous attention to detail was an unforgettable experience. The colonial charm, coupled with lush gardens, offered a serene and peaceful retreat. The culinary delights, with fresh local ingredients, were a highlight. And the tranquil environment provided the perfect escape from city life. Highly recommended for a rejuvenating getaway.

A cozy house that's been standing for about 50 years, sitting on a sprawling 5-acre property surrounded by lush nature. And oh boy, the view! You've got yourself a front-row seat to a jaw-dropping mountain view that'll leave you breathless. But wait, there's more! Right next door, there's a chill lake where you can kick back and do some fishing. And if you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, there's a walking track that'll take you on a peaceful journey through this slice of paradise. Inside the house, you'll find plenty of space and all the fancy amenities you could ever want. It's got four bedrooms, so you can easily fit in a crew of 8 to 10 people. It's the perfect spot for a laid-back escape, where you can unwind and soak in the beauty of nature.
