What a warm welcome we had after a long train ride. We’ve stayed for 3 nights and after that short amount of time we almost felt like family members. The food was also very yummy - we definitely recommend this place - thank you again for having us.

Wonderful place with wonderful people

Donald and Sunanda are great hosts. They had their grandson staying with them as well when we were there who is a delightful abd very well mannered young boy. The guesthouse is in a really nice spot on a mountain side. They looked after us and fed us very well at breakfast, Sunanda even let us have some pea curry that she'd made for monks in a nearby temple, which I have to say, was delicious. We had fun at breakfast with Donald as he served it to us sharing travel tales. He has some very interesting and useful local knowledge. When it was dry we were able to have breakfast in the garden surrounded by beautiful plants and the trees on which grew the fruit that ended up on our plate. Perfect! The dining room indoors is nice and comfortable as well. From the balcony in our room was a great view of the city in the distance, and we also had views of beautiful birds flitting from tree to tree as we sat there. I saw what I think looked like a Black-hooded Oriole a few times (having looked the name of it up after). It's a lovely place to while away an hours reading in peace. They have good contacts for tuk tuk rides and taxis for longer distances who also offer expert knowledge of the island. A ride into Kandy town by tuk tuk is only 10 minutes, our driver was great, he got us seats right at the front for a local dance performance which was brilliant. We stayed here for 3 wonderful nights 4th - 6th December and we would recommend it to anyone, not only for its comfort, beautiful and convenient location, but also for the great people living there who really know how to look after their guests.

A homely retreat

We were welcomed by Donald into his lovely home. The house was impressive, completely built in Mahogany. The house is located a 15-20min rise outside of Kandy in the hills. You can enjoy hot showers with pressure in the mornings and evenings. It can be wise to plan to eat out as there is no take-away places nearby, but if you do bring food you will get the chance to listen to Donald’s interesting life stories. The family also helped us to organize a nice tuktuk day trip in Kandy. 

Lovely house and host

Lovely house, plenty of fresh air and quite surroundings. The lady of the house was preparing a one of its kind Sri Lankan breakfast, thank you! 
The house master was raving about the high speed internet and the poached eggs for breakfast...well he was right about the wifi but due to the fact that I used excessive GBits for businesses purposes, he decided to shut it down. So much about high speed internet. The English breakfast with poached eggs was more a miss than a hit! How would you feel if the margarine served for breakfast is just what was left behind by other guests? I'm sure no one is really delighted and thrilled. How about hair on your plate and poached eggs on a soggy piece of toast? Well the only judgement I as a frequent traveller can say there are opportunities to either improve the experience or simply don't include any breakfast if it impacts the profitability. 
Ultimately leaving a bitter aftertaste was the request about paying for the internet upon check out and,over and above, no proper invoice nor receipt was presented after payment.

Bitter aftertaste

Fresh air, peaceful and quite. Local breakfast. 
 · 1) Distance from town, depended on transportation. Unless you have your own car  2) breakfast offerings: first day no napkins, butter/ margarine was shared amongst all the guests, does not only look hygienic and appealing but also gives the impression of being served leftovers  3) canned juice was served without asking the preferences, meaning it was wasted. Fresh water melon juice in a tropical country like Sri Lanka would not cost more. 4) quality of coffee was below average  5) poached egg was served watery on white soggy toast bread. 6) hairs were found on numerous dishes  Better not to include breakfast if it's an issue of cost!  7) Wi-Fi is offered for free but it's been claimed we used over the limit (due to my business Mails) and our son playing computer games, due to the fact that TV channels were not active, although promoted. Finally the host switched the Wi-Fi off.  8) upon check out we were reminded about the internet cost and expectations raised to pay for it. 9) no invoice and receipt for payment was raised and issued upon final settlement.
