I had the good fortune being the first to stay in the new MyStay Homestay. She is now located at Peradeniya, close to the Royal Botanic Gardens and Kandy which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Due to the new location, MyStay Homestay is in the central part of Sri Lanka, with all major attractions within easy reach. 😍 Understand that the owner Prashan shall be updating the website and pics shortly. The new MyStay Homestay is set on top on a mountain. All 3 guest rooms, living room, dining room and sitting room have a panoramic view of a green valley and the mountain ranges beyond. The view is ever changing with the passing clouds, revealing beauty that is never repeated. On most days, one may see Ambuluwawa Tower, and Adam’s Peak too in the distance. Gal Bungalow, another attraction is about a 10 minutes walk. The neighbourhood is peaceful with few houses, and beautiful. The Mahakanda bus station is nearby. The train station is also quite nearby. During the stay, Prashan brought me around to see some sights in his own comfortable 4WD car at very reasonable rates. I would like to commend that he is trustworthy and a safe driver, a great organiser and knows where to find good food. 😋 My room was very nice and comfortable. It is big, maybe about 30m2. The room is tastefully decorated and there is a balcony. (Please see pic.) I kept the French window opened as I love the fresh cool air. 😍 Breakfast at Mystay was delicious. Love the soft coconut pancakes, the coconut roti and sambal. 😍 Lunch and dinner can also be arranged. I can see that Mystay has her own organic vegetables and fruits garden. 😍

We had a truly wonderful stay at Green Agras Leisure and would highly recommend it. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful – with breathtaking views, a stunning pool, and impressive architecture. The food was always freshly prepared and offered a wide variety of dishes. The entire service team was extremely friendly, warm, and fun. After just a few days, it felt very personal, as if we were among friends. We also joined a cooking class, which was a fantastic experience with delicious food and very kind instructors. In addition, I enjoyed a massage, which was excellent as well. All in all, this place is highly recommendable, and we would definitely love to come back!

This hotel is really great 😁 The host is very kind. When we got there we got cold towels and a welcome drink. The room is amazing! We just got our own tuktuk here so driving it was new. The hotel is on a top of a hill so the drive is a bit difficult. But the host and other people helped us.

The town is just a town with shops, supermarket etc. For food, my tour guide Prashan brought me to Upcountry Restaurant which is a nice place with a beautiful scenery. :) Go for the attractions like Bible Rock, Saradiel Hill etc. They are nice.
