kitchen

This was our whole family’s highlight of an extensive trip around Sri Lanka. This is the most beautiful house, hosted by lovely people. From the moment we arrived, tired and hungry, we were made to feel like we had just arrived home. Nothing was too much trouble for Lalith and Rohitha, who saw to our every need when we arrived, even though it was late. They took us to the local market to go shopping and taught us how to cook. We have used these recipes at home many times since and it always reminds us of their kitchen and the wonderful time we had! We would love to return one day! Thank you Lalith and Rohitha

Homestay

Wow, first of all a big Thankyou for welcoming us into your beautiful home. 
We’re so grateful we got to experience this. Your generosity and kindness means a lot and you definitely made our visit to Sri Lanka the best it could possibly be and we will never forget this. 

Cooking with the chef was incredible! We learnt so much and had so much fun learning the traditional cooking ways. We can’t wait to try at home with our new cook book 

The dogs were added bonus, they were all so friendly and loved having attention. 

We highly recommend anyone visiting Sri Lanka to add this to your tour!

An amazing two nights

This was a very relaxing home stay out the way of the hustle and bustle of the city. They provided an exciting cooking experience and all other food was very lovely, we enjoyed dining on the terrace. There was also lots of lovely birds. Rooms were comfy and we loved all the personal touches that made us feel at home

Comfy home stay

We spent two nights here and it was a real treat for our family. Our two sons (16 and 14) said it was like staying with their Sri Lankan grandparents! Very warm welcome and hospitality, fantastic cooking lesson and Mr and Mrs Illankoon were excellent hosts. The village tour was lovely and perfect to build up an appetite for breakfast, the visit to the market was good fun and felt very Sri Lankan... my boys even got themselves some winning lottery tickets! The house itself is 200 years old and a beautiful residence (the polished floors are nothing short of magnificent).

A wonderful stay with a wonderful family

We stayed at the villa in July and it was a great experience. The great hospitality of the owners and staf made our stay one of the best during our travel to Sri Lanka. We learned the so much on real Sri Lanka cooking. The location lies in the middle of a green environment which looks like a botanical garden. Marjan Netherlands

A real Sri Lanka experience

This was a real sensensatinal stay at the kolonial house of Mr. Lallith. Maybe no steady WiFi/ internet and airco, onze you tasted the food, experienced the garden, the beauty of all the plants, i cannot describe. Just be there. Be in the moment and feel. Take time. The people that work there, are so kind, you feel love in the air and respect. We got a cooking lesson from Preva. SHE CAN COOK! The food is a real sensational adventure. I am longing to go back and learn more and enjoy  LIFE.

Loveley People and loveley Food

Hospitality here is an A+! The food is delicious traditionally cooked and the environment is paradise. The owner is such a kind and warm personality and the cooking workshop is a real traditional treat. Staying here means taking time for relaxation with nature and learning a lot about it. Rooms and the indoor area are large, clean and atmospheric.

Most warm and personal experience

An incredible experience from the surprise at finding this ancestral home tucked away in a valley to the wonderful accommodation and fantastic cookery lesson.
A step back in time with family photos and exceptionally clean and tidy home
Market trip and cookery lesson were so interesting and enjoyable 
Host is knowledgeable and friendly good balance of being visible and invisible

Step back in time with authenticity

We had a lovely day at Kirinda Walauwa mansion for a cookery course - we took a tuk tuk to the local market to gather lovely fresh ingredients and returned to the mansion and helped our chef prepare a delicious meal using traditional cooking methods. It was a memorable day and we would highly recommend a visit.

Cookery day course at Kiranda Waluawa Mansion

For a taste of a bygone Sri Lanka, a visit here is a must -- it's like staying in a gracious family villa of the 1930s, with the warmest possible welcome, tea on the verandah, traditional cooking on a wood-fired hearth (and the chance to learn how to cook some delicious dishes) and cool, comfortable rooms for just a few lucky travellers. When I was curious about how the lavariya sweets we were served were made, I got extra as a special unexpected breakfast treat, and a full demonstration of the ingredients and technique -- just one small example of how Lalith and his staff go out of their way to meet your own particular interests. I can't recommend Kirinda Walauwa enough -- it was the high point of our visit to Sri Lanka.
