This property has amazing views, so clean and beautiful. The best thing about this place though is the family, I will never forget how warm hearted they were and instantly felt like they cared for me. We chatted a lot, and we all ate together in the evenings, easily will be one of my most cherished memories in Sri Lanka. You have to stay here!! Kindest people ever.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted not just as guests, but truly as friends. The warmth and hospitality of Sudesh’s family made this one of the most memorable stays of our trip. The food was absolutely delicious – all home-cooked meals prepared with love by the owner’s family, and every bite felt like a taste of authentic Sri Lankan home life. The guesthouse is located a little outside the busy town of Kandy, which turned out to be a big plus – peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by nature, making it a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the entire atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We left with full hearts (and stomachs!), and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and heartwarming stay in Kandy!

Nita and her mother are so friendly, they made us feel like staying at home. we had a cooking night together, and we made the transitional sri lankan dish (they were sooo yummy, especially the 7 veggies curry) and coconut rotis. Nita’s daughter is very supportive when we need some help for communication. we really enjoy our stay!!!;) thank you Nita for the great hospitality!! oh, the view from the room is so nice, and the breakfast was so delicious too! ;)

A beautiful place, recently opened and has been set up to a very high standard. Huge, comfy bed, silky soft sheets, brand new bathroom with the best water pressure I’ve found anywhere in Sri Lanka and also plenty of hot water, free toiletries. Excellent air conditioning. There was a kettle and range of Ceylon teas provided in the room too - perfect for my early morning brew whilst looking out at the sunrise from bed. Also has a big TV with worldwide channels although I didn’t really use it, too busy exploring! The rooftop terrace has stunning views across Kandy, very nice to sit out and watch the sunset here. The host was super welcoming and his wife made the most delicious breakfasts. Went the extra mile when I didn’t find a 3 wheeler to the station in time for my train, and dropped me off in his car! Thank you Pravin and team (& sorry if I’ve spelled your name wrong!) Location was fab, a little up hill out of the busy city centre, so super quiet and yet very easy to travel to all the attractions in the area either on foot or by 3 wheeler. Will definitely stay again next time in the area, great find!

This place was like being at home during our stay in Kandy. Vipul,Kosala and her mother were like family for us. The room is amazing with a beautiful view. Everything was perfectly clean and nice. Kosala's food was amazing, she cooked for us vegetarian rice and curry every night and delicious breakfast, our favorite food in Sri Lanka. Vipul was very friendly from the beginning, he offers transport service with his own car, which is something very convenient. We already miss them so much and we are looking forward to return to our Sri Lankan family!
