It was more than we imagined - it is a newly built/renovated guesthouse on a beautiful property, within a beautiful garden. The family welcomed us in person, invited us for a juice on their terrace and then showed us our beautiful, big room with a super comfortable bathroom incl. a big shower and towels. We felt extremely comfortable after arriving in Kandy quite tired after a long train ride. After we had time to freshen up a bit, they gave us some recommendations for restaurants (unfortunately we only stayed one night) and how to get there best. On the next day they provided breakfast in their private living room - we enjoyed it a lot to see their house and learn more about our hosts. Thank you so much!

Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and wardrobe. Each unit is equipped with a private bathroom, while certain rooms include a balcony and others also offer a mountain view.

Magical spot with extraordinarily friendly and attentive staff. The vibe is mi casa es su casa, and it is just that. Not many hotels where you are encouraged to wander in the kitchen to watch dinner being prepared. And yes, the food is excellent. So was the room, and the view of the Kandy valley from the infinity pool is not to be missed.

A stunning view, one of the best breakfasts in Sri Lanka (fruits, roti, pancakes, eggs, sausages, bread, juice,..) and very friendly and helpful people hosting this place. It’s located some kilometers from the center on a hill, so you need a driver to get there. We can only recommend this place!

Immaculate grand house with great views. East tuk tuk down to the main city area and walking distance to places to eat. Our room was very spacious with a lovely balcony, comfortable bed and everything, including the bathroom and exterior living areas of the property are immaculate. We had a lovely breakfast and some good chats with Seneka and met his lovely wife Nilashki. Thank you for having us.

    Quiet location up the hill with incredible views just on a 15 mins tuktuk drive from the city centre. The host was very welcoming and helped us organising tuktuks and advised what things to do/see. Also made us a delicious breakfast every morning. We stayed in the deluxe room, which has amazing views over the city and surroundings, from the bedroom and balcony and even from the shower. Absolutely stunning!

    The host was amazing. He helped me with everything and is very kind. The kindest host I met in Southeast Asia. Also the room is very spacious and the bathroom as well. Very clean and really good shower. The location is also perfect, not in city centre but walking distance. Breakfast also very nice. When in Kandy, don’t hesitate to book this guesthouse. The best you will get!

    Our two hosts were remarkably friendly, attentive and helpful. While the accommodation is located on the outskirts of Kandy (and is thus very quiet - a big plus in our opinion), the city centre and all the major sights are easily reachable by tuktuk. Our corner room with a balcony had a beautiful view over the river and the surrounding countryside. The breakfast - especially the fresh fruit - was delicious, varied and more than we could eat.

    Lovely guesthouse with an absolutely charming and helpful hostess. We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable right away. The accommodation is a bit outside the city center (about 10-15 minutes by tuktuk), which we really liked because it's peacefully quiet, and the huge balcony offers a wonderful view of the city. We opted to have dinner outside, but there were options available on-site as well. The breakfast was good and plentiful. If you want a short stop in Kandy without staying right in the city, this is the perfect place.
