We had a wonderful stay at Wood’s Hut thanks to Chitra, Wasantha and Rashi. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and even had fresh flowers. We had everything we needed and more. The food was healthy and so delicious. Wasantha organized a great tour of the tea plantations for us on short notice. And then the next day took us on a full day hike which was truly an adventure! We had such a great time and learned a lot about the local area. Can 100% recommend staying at Woods Hut!

What an amazing place is this. The moment we arrived we said to eachother that we want to stay longer. You have an amazing view on the tea plantation, and a valley. Also at 6 am and pm a big group of birds fly from the Gregory lake to a place behind the homestay, amazing to watch. When this has not make you curious, then the kind family will do. They helped us with everything and even let us taste different fruits from their own garden. We stayed for dinner and everyday was a different varieties of dishes and flavours. Long story short: Highly recommended! Thank you so much Manoj and family!

    Beautiful Homestay run by beautiful people. A lovely warm host family that fixed the holes in my shirt, sat about chatting and cooked us a delicious dinner and breakfast. Great room with big cosy blankets on the bed. Great location with a 3 minute walk to the Tea Factory (get there early to see the whole process). Highly recommend staying here.
