The hotel is in a gorgeous building with a lovely feel to it. The bedroom was very comfy and the shower was fantastic. Location is good, about 15 minutes walk to the centre but within only a few minutes of the lake. There is a lovely cafe within the hotel also. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

Paramesh is a brilliant host, very friendly. He took great care of me. He was very patient with me despite my horrible level of English. He bought me my train ticket to Ella in advance. He has the cleanest house I have visited in Sri Lanka. It has memory foam mattresses which was perfect for my back.

Rajith is absolutely wonderful — truly a charming and attentive host and the place is very cozy. He welcomed us with tea and biscuits and was available at all times for anything we needed. We had to leave very early the next morning, and he prepared an amazing picnic box for us to take on the road. Always with a smile, he answered all our questions and made us feel completely at home. If we ever return to Nuwara Eliya, we will definitely contact him again. Highly recommended!

This is truly a lovely homestay. The atmosphere was cozy. Shan and Ms Daphne are lovely hosts. They were very accommodating and kind. Shan had some wonderful recommendations for things to do around Nuwara Eliya. Ms Daphne's food is exceptionally wonderful! The rooms were clean and comfortable with a breathtaking view. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling solo!

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.
