Wasantha is a gentleman who inspired my friend and I with his sincerity, positivity, friendliness and wisdom. Chithra is the lady behind her successful husband. We only had a very short stay at their home on May 14 till the next day but Wasantha and Chithra made us feel most welcomed and cared for. They provided us with a cosy... More

Just wanted to say to all potential travellers - don't take heed of one nasty man's comments - this is a wonderful place to stay and a real homely vibe. Yes, it is slightly high up, but it is so easy to walk to town via a short cut that takes only a few minutes, and the food and accommodation... More

To begin with, I have been to this place several times from dubai and this is shocking to read such terrible comments regarding the place and the couple who runs it. First and fore most it's a steal for the price they charge! Expectations should always remain within the price that one pays. This couple go beyond the price with... More

This bungalow is not nice as described by others, there are few reasons as followings. 1. the place is not very convenient to stay. 2. the room is very wet and humid, I saw some tide insects and get many bites on my legs, that's really disgusting and terrible. The bed sheet and towers were not clean. 3. I felt... More

We stayed with Wasantha and his wife Chitra for two nights in March. Our initial plan was to stay 1 night, but they made us feel so welcome, that we stayed an extra night. Everything was super clean, and the food was awesome!!! The rooms were nice and private, and we were well rested when left. We told Wasantha that... More

Do not miss the opportunity of staying in the loveliest guest house of Sri Lanka! Wasantha, the owner, is the friendliest host who will help you with any arrangements needed. He will organize hiking tours, tea plantation visits or whatever wishes you might have. A big pot of Sri Lankan tee and biscuits will be offered on arrival to guarantee... More

Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful stay at this beautiful mansion. Wasantha and his wife are very kind, helpful, and funny! The food is great, the rooms are nice, the views amazing, the garden chill, and you can walk easily downtown. At night you can chill around the fire place and play some nice games :) If you're looking... More
