Our stay at this homestay was absolutely wonderful! The hosts were very kind, welcoming, and made us feel like part of the family. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and the food was delicious with an authentic Sri Lankan taste. We truly enjoyed the warm hospitality and beautiful surroundings. Specially the waterfall .Highly recommended — definitely a 10/10 experience!

“Fabulous waterfall in your back garden .”
The property is fabulous with the most amazing waterfall in the back garden. The access to the waterfall would not be suitable for anybody with mobility issues but wow what a stunning piece of nature to have on your doorstep. The property is run by a family who cannot do enough to help you.

“A lovely place to say a short 700lkr tuk tuk from Ella”
It was a really beautiful property, almost built into the rock of the waterfall itself. I loved being right next to the waterfall and the surrounding garden/courtyard.
