The rooms were spacious and had heating, which was important because we were there when it was only 17 degrees Celcius.

Situated in Nuwara Eliya and only 3.8 km from Gregory Lake, Shevyhaws features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First of all, the room is clean, comfy and spacious. There is a common space to enjoy coffee and tea. The breakfast was above expectations, good quantity and the taste was fantastic. Then the hosts are amazing. Their recommendations are super valuable. Chami the host drove us around and spent a lot of time with us. To be honest it felt amazing to have such a welcoming host and we felt very lucky to have that experience. It was maybe one of our best days in Sri Lanka. If you're arriving they can offer a pick up for a small fee. We're already looking forward to our next visit! We will not only come back as guest but also as friends.

At the guest house, the units come with a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a bath and free toiletries, units at the guest house also have free WiFi. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. As a solo female traveler, staying here I felt so safe and at home. The owner and his wife are so utterly sweet and hardworking. The owner has a TukTuk and for a very fair price, he picked me up/dropped me off at the train station. On top of this, he offered different excursion options on his TukTuk for tea plantations, hikes, waterfalls, etc. The owner honestly went above and beyond, not only was he a wonderful host, but also a great driver and tour guide. What really touched my heart was when he took me to the Horton Plains National Park and ended up doing the WHOLE hike with me because he did not want me to do it alone and wanted to make sure I was safe. Their home is a very cute 100+-year-old house, with two rooms. The room was spotlessly clean and had comfy beds with warm blankets for the chilly nights. The price includes breakfast and if you have an early excursion/train time they pack you a full breakfast as well! They also offer lunch and dinner, which the wife cooks. It was honestly the best food I had on my trip to Sri Lanka especially the chicken curry and dhal curry.

Offering mountain views, Thuvaraga Inn is an accommodation situated in Nuwara Eliya, 3.7 km from Gregory Lake and 11 km from Hakgala Botanical Garden. Free private parking is available and the guest house also features car hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. Beautiful, comfortable, and clean accommodation, we felt almost like at home. The kind owner helped with everything, arranging a great driver who showed us all the interesting spots in the area. A short walk from the accommodation is a stunning waterfall and a nice Hindu temple. A secret tip for great food – Gami Gedara Restaurant!

Well located in Adams Peak, Water Side Residence provides a continental breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house offers free private parking and room service. The accommodation features private check-in and check-out and a tour desk for guests. Best room so far we had in Sri Lanka. Everything was very clean and the location was great. We were sad we had to leave after one night. Room looks better live than on the pictures. Location was great, very close to the entrance for Adams Peak (5min walk). The food was also really good. Everything was prepared fresh, so be patient while waiting🙏🏽 Hosts were very helpful and friendly.
