Rajith is an amazing host, always happy to share all the helpful informations and easily reachable by phone when you need him. His place is adorable. Him and his family will make you a beautiful breakfast using the food from their garden. it takes ~45min to get to the city by foot or ~10 by tuktuk which will cost you 2$. Nuwara Eliya is probably the most beautiful place in Sri Lanka, so it is really nice to walk and enjoy the landscapes during the daylight. We would come back anytime!

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.
