We had such a wonderful stay here. The staff are so lovely and helpful will everything you could need. The rooms are well equipped and comfortable, good aircon and spacious size. The pool area is beautiful and very well maintained. The food was delicious and very well priced. The owner will organise anything you want to do - we did a safari which was amazing and well organised, picked up and dropped back off at the hotel and all tickets etc was sorted for us. The hotel organised amazing tours of Mihintale and the ancient temples with tuk tuk guide named Jaya - make sure to request Jaya as your tour guide! He was very kind and knowledgeable and we had the best time with him touring the beautiful temples.

The owner and his family were excellent! They treat us very well and entertained us with fresh lime juice on our arrival. They also sent us a sweet dish that they made in their kitchen. The room was newly built. Basic amenities like bed and fan was there. If you don’t need luxury this place is ok and value for money.

We had an excellent two night stay at corner cottage! The hosts were so friendly and lovely to talk to, and incredibly helpful in supporting us to plan our stay. Gihan also took us to the market to buy fresh produce and then we all cooked delicious Sri Lankan food together. Definitely recommend staying here :)

The owner was so lovely and diligent in making sure we had a comfortable stay. He also made us breakfast ready at 430am to take with us to the safari, including coffee in an insulated flask. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The small touches like including a mosquito coil at our table at our second breakfast was much appreciated!

    The homestay is in a great location, you have a beautiful view of the lake and can see the stupas in the background. By tuk-tuk it is 10 minutes to the ancient city and about 45 minutes to Wilpattu NP. The rooms are very clean, there was delicious food on request and the host was really nice and helpful. Really great!

    Coming from a no aircondition bb, we loved the rooms with aircondition! Very clean with large beds, soap available (not all places have that) and great location. Close to the new bus station, shops and supermarked, and still very quiet. The breakfast was cheap and delicious with plenty of food. Owner really friendly and even offered to take us to the old bus station upon departure. We would come back any time!
