Beautiful, quiet, and affordable location, just outside Dambulla. Kumara and his brother were so kind to us. They helped arrange a great safari to see elephants, Pidurangala Rock, Ritigala Preserve, and other points of interest. They welcomed us with tea and brought us fresh roti with amazing dhal. Highly recommended!

The location is perfect! Quiet location with lots of birds. The room is very clean and comfortable. The staff is so kind and generous, they made us feel very welcome and at ease. We ordered breakfast, it is very tasty! And the homemade dinner was delicious. Don't hesitate to book this resort!

The Location is very nice, a local area, quiet and friendly. From here you can easily walk to the Golden Temple-2,5km.The staff has also a tuktuk, he can bring you easily to everywhere close by. They will also help you to arrange a trip to the tourist spots. Sadly there are no cooking classes. Restaurants are 10-15 min. walk from the Guesthouse. The room was very clean, enough space to put your things somewhere.

It’s suppost to be really nice
The place was closed, noone there. The neighbours informed us they had left. After calling the phone number, we were told due to an emergency we could not stay there. I understand emergencies happen. Another place had to cancel on us to, due to a water shortage. They gave us notice a week in advance however. We were out there without internet, and suddenly had to find a different hotel. There are plenty around, but it would have been nice to ve able to do some research and look for reviews and prices and all. Just tell people when you’re closing the place!
