We stayed at Green Leaves for one night prior to starting a tour around Sri Lanka. Anushka and his family are very welcoming and approachable and we are grateful to have been welcomed to their home. In the afternoon Anushka took us to a nearby monastery to watch the sunset behind the mountains, and to have tea with a local family. The next day we went to visit Ambuluwawa tower before travelling to Negombo. The mud chalet is very clean and tidy, with AC and mosquito nets. Anushka and his family prepared food for us which was very tasty. Overall we had a fantastic time, and staying here was a great start to our trip. Anushka and his family were very helpful when we had some questions, and taught us about the local customs and history

Mystay is a lovely rustic place set among trees and birdsongs. The room is quaint. There is a sitting room, a bedroom and a shower room with back-to-nature theme. 😍. All rooms are nicely decorated. There is a wall fan if one feels hot. At this time of the year, the temperature at night was nice and cool. 😊 There’s a hot shower which is a nice touch. There is an open treehouse dining area which is nice. 😍 The host, Prashan, was attentive to the guests. He showed me to Boella waterfall which is a Very nice waterfall with several swimming spots. 😍 As it is only a 1 night stay, I could not see the other attractions in Mawanella. I shall be back to see the other attractions. I had lunch and breakfast at Mystay and they were delicious.

We loved staying at Kushana and Purnima's home sooo much! They felt like true family to us. And i am including their lovely pets, cats and lovely sweetest dog Bella. I enjoyed playing with Bella so much! Thank you Bella, you are truely also a much appreciated member of the staff and did an amazing job! This just added to the comfy feeling of home and relaxation. There were also cute and funny monkeys that we could observe right from our rooms. One monkey got in our room so just a heads up, do close your door when you're not there because they take your stuff. The rooms were in a lovely antique style and very clean, also energetically clean as i am very sensitive to how the energy is somewhere. You could feel that everything they do for their guests is done with a lot of care, love and attention. Every day they prepared an amazing fresh breakfast from their own garden, so very healthy! And we could even order food for dinner. They made the dinner. Kushana drove us to various beautiful places and even went a whole day and waited for us while we were there. Talk about patience!:) The house is located on walking distance from various nice restaurants, also suited for vegetarians. And close to the town Kandy. But in a silent area, the only sounds we heard were monkeys, criquets and sometimes dogs barking. I slept sooo peacefully. There is also a fridge in the shared area and the view from the balcony is just amazing, we sat there a lot and could watch the stars and fireflies at night. So, to conlude, it was truelly a magical and wonderful experience. The service here is even better then you often get in a 5 star hotel. And you won't get generally this kind of genuine attention and hospitality in most hotels. This is the true meaning of hospitality from the heart. I will definitely return here some day!

    Couldn't recommend enough. This is a wonderful Home Stay with the most welcoming family. We felt right at home. We were welcomed with tea and the onsite bar was a lovely touch. The host was so helpful and would be a great guide for any tourist experiences. The chalet had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We had breakfast dinner and part took in a cooking class. Wonderful time, wonderful family. Must stay

    Discover the hidden gems of Mawanella through the warm hospitality of Anushka and his lovely family at their enchanting homestay 🌿 This place is so wonderful I extended my stay and will definitely be back! Everything was perfect, the food was delicious, the hospitality, the room, the pool to cool down on a hot day, great location making it easy to go to other parts and also lovely to just sit and relax surrounded by nature reading a book or writing. Plus, Anushka really knows the island and is a great tour guide!
