We were greeted by the family. The young man helped carry our bags into the room. He offered us tea and coffee. He was very polite and helpful. He did his job with heart and love. The accommodation is in the mountains at an altitude of about 2000m. In the evenings the temperature drops to about 15C. You need to wear a jacket in the evenings. The locals also wear wool hats. But this is clearly unnecessary. Double fleeces for sleeping in the room. It's good to be able to wear a blouse with longer sleeves if you're afraid of the cold. The room is nice and clean. Comfortable beds. TV in the room. Common dining area for three rooms with fridge. Breakfast was made by the hostess. It was delicious: toast, jam, butter, sausages, fruit, pancakes, jackfruit sauce on bread.

The host were very welcoming, provided tea with biscuit on arrival. The room was very well maintained and very beautiful 😍. They provided hotwater for driking as well since nuwara elliya weather get very cold. They arranged for paid tuktuk from nanuoya to their home stay and arranged 5AM drop at Nuwara elliya bus stand. Very nice people they provided packaged breakfast for our early morning trip. We were literally moved by the efforts they have put in for customer service. Highly recommend.

    This is truly a lovely homestay. The atmosphere was cozy. Shan and Ms Daphne are lovely hosts. They were very accommodating and kind. Shan had some wonderful recommendations for things to do around Nuwara Eliya. Ms Daphne's food is exceptionally wonderful! The rooms were clean and comfortable with a breathtaking view. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling solo!

    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.
