We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and helpful. He arranged tuktuks for our longer rides at a good price, which made everything so much easier. We enjoyed breakfast and had also dinner at a very good price. One morning, when we left for a hike very early, he even prepared a breakfast to go, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His whole family is truly lovely and welcoming.

This is a very welcoming place. The owner is really good and took a really good care of their guests! Keep asking if i have problems or not. That’s really nice! Ordered fish curry for dinner and it was really delicious and for that portion, the price is pretty cheap. They can arrange pickup from the train station. The room is really spacious for family up to 5 people! I was alone so i got all the 3 queen beds for myself lol the famous lover’s leap waterfall located just less than 2km from the house. I really recommend this stay!

We loved our stay at Woods Hut. We would highly recommend staying here. Wasantha and Chithra were amazing hosts, and made us feel very welcome. The suite was super comfortable, the views and deck is amazing, the bed was super cosy/comfortable and the shower had very good hot water. There was no need for aircon, it is naturally cold in the night. They were very accommodating and helped us with laundry and sorting a scooter hire/tuk tuk from the station. Chithra cooked us an absolutely amazing dinner on our final night, it was our favourite rice and curry in Sri Lanka! We had the pleasure of also meeting their son, Rashi who was very sweet and thoughtful too. This is an amazing family to meet while you are in Sri Lanka and soak up the loveliness of this special accomodation.

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.
