The hosts were very supportive with all the questions we had. Since it was very cold, they provided extra blankets for the night. The place itself was very cozy - especially with the fire place in the shared living room.

The only very small fault about this property is that it is a short walk into the centre down via some steps we ended up getting a tuk tuk back each evening
We changed our booking before coming and booked the deluxe double room (with nountainwe are so glad we did the room and the view is incredible. We even watched the sunrise one morning. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The host was extremely helpful and helped us plan our whole stay ie with recommendations for places to visit and restaurants and provided us with a driver. We did the tea fields water falls and Hortons plains which we recommend doing.

It is an excellent property at a nice location and short distance from market area. We had a car so didn't nind the 10 min drive to city center. This is a home stay and hosts were very warm and helpful They even helped us plan our itinerary and the guys are knowledgeable and ready to help. Best part were the setup where you meet other travellers in the hall during evenings and sit besides a fire place. Met and made a few friends during our stay. The kitchen is small but useful with basic essentials. Would definately recommend people staying in Nuwara Eliya to stay at this property.

Could have been a bit closer to town but still only a 15 min walk or a short taxi ride for 300 ruppes.
Owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Have us tea as we arrived and took the time to talk through our plans for our stay. Helping us where they could. They organised taxi from the train station for us at a good price, and put on a tour for us using there driver to see some waterfalls and tea factory's - all at a great price. They really had the personal touch!
