The owner is really nice, he gave us some excelent tips to see some cool, free spots in the city. At the last day when we needed to catch the bus and it was pouring like crazy, he offered to drive us to the bus station for a small fee. We also had all our meals there and each of them was more amazing than the last. His mom is a really skilled cook, which offeres you a chance to experience amazing traditional cuisine. Their garden looks like a sanctuary. When you have your meal infront of the house, you can observe lots of wild animals visiting and walking around, so truly pristine Sri lankan experience.

Such a quiet and natural space. Lovely garden with various birds and squirrels. The hosts are very friendly, the food is great (and so is the juice!). I recommend :-)

The best ice cream

Beautiful property, kind owners, the best ice cream, delicious dinner! We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it! Everything was perfect! So many birds in the garden like peacocks and green parrots! We even got to see Sri Lanka’s national animal!

Very accommodating host, Manushka goes above and beyond if you need anything. Amazing food at local prices, which is nice for a change. Bicycle to explore the ancient city and get into town. Beautiful garden if you're just looking to relax in the area.
